a city? Why do you want to move to cities? You want to move to cities because cities

offer you lots of exciting things. In cities,

you can go to parks, go to supermarkets,

go to libraries, go to cinemas. You can do lots of interesting things there. But do

you know there are lots of problems in big cities. Life is not so pleasant in big

cities. Then what are some of the problems?
