EX Giving an Explanation 24
A person you know is planning to move to your town or city. What do
you think that person would like and dislike about living in your town or
city. Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
A friend of mine from college is moving to my city. I think there are
things she will like about living here, but there are also things she might
dislike. I like living here because there are a lot of things to do, there are a lot
of nice neighborhoods to live in, and we have beautiful parks. On the other
hand, my friend might not like it because it’s very crowded and expensive and
we’re far from beautiful places like the mountains and the beach.
Living in this city is very exciting because there are so many interesting
things to do, although you pay a price for it. We have museums, art galleries,
and lots of movie theaters. We have restaurants with food from all over the
world. However, when you go to these places they are always very crowded.
Also, there almost always heavy traffic on the way and it is difficult to find
parking once you arrive. I know my friend likes peace and quiet, so she may
not enjoy the crowds in my city.
In this city we have many beautiful neighborhoods, although some of
them are very expensive. We have neighborhoods of old houses with
interesting architecture. We have modern neighborhoods with new apartment
buildings. We have lots of nice places to live, but it isn’t always easy to find a
place that you can afford. I know my friend doesn’t earn a big salary, so she
might not like this aspect of living here.
Even though we are far from the countryside, we have many beautiful,
natural areas right here in the city. We have a big park where people go
hiking and biking, and in the winter they go ice skating. We also have many
small parks throughout the city and lots of trees and gardens. It is a pretty
city and I know my friend will like that. However, we are far from the
mountains and far from the beach. I know my friend likes to spend time in the
countryside, so she might not like living far away from those places.
All in all, there are both advantages and disadvantages to living here.
