more disadvantages than advantages living in town

Town is the place which let people exert their skills. According to the Social Statistics Bulletin Malaysia 2013, the total population in Kuala Lumpur was 1724.5 people, so we know that many people try to move from village to town. Actually, there had more disadvantages than advantages living in town.

            The advantages living in town is the convenience of transportation. In town has provide many transportation service like monorails, taxis, buses which included town bus or states bus, Key Transport Module (KTM) and Light rail transport (LRT). Both of these transports are replacing car because there are more save time and easy to reach the destinations. People no need face the traffic jam problem. In addition, there are more possibilities to get a job in the town because the population in the town is bigger than village so the materials demand is higher and there have many factories in town so it provide job opportunity to people.  People who are interested in social life also prefer living in the town because here are a lot of cinemas, theatres, clubs, pubs, restaurants and other places to visit. Beside these advantages there is one which is connected with education. In towns children have more opportunities for education like colleges and universities usually more located at town.

On the other hand, living in the town doesn´t has to be always nice and marvelous. In town, the public privacy is very worse. Through the newspapers, we can see many crimes like murders or robberies occur in the town. People are much more likely to be a victim of a crime living in a town than in a village. It causes people who are living in town must aware there personal safe and this slowly cause city people lack of interaction and communication with other.  Another disadvantage is pollution in town is higher because there are a lot of cars on highways and factories which produce lots of chemical waste and radioactive dangerous articles. It causes many health problems like asthma, lung cancer and flu.

Although, the town provides more job opportunities; there are also more people competing for a single job. This can make people job search frustrating. Oddly enough, we will see hundreds, if not thousands of jobs available each week, but many people still might remain unemployed, especially when the economy is down. For example, a person might be qualified for a job, but 10 other people who are applying for the position are slightly more qualified. Maybe they have more job experience or a master's. Besides that, the cost-of-living is typically higher in town, so people must spend more money to lent the house, paying the children education fee and the salary of a employee is not very high which is between 2000 ringgit to 4500 ringgit. Hence, live in town also not easy too.

As a conclusion, living in village is prefer than town because the criminals is low, environment is unpolluted and people can live with relax, they no need face traffic jam and nervous during working.

The Park Near My House

People have memories that are sparked by many situations. Places often make people remember experience from the past. Many places hold memories for me: the sea, school, and park. One particular place that reminds me of my childhood is Taman Sentosa Park which is at my hometown.

            Taman Sentosa Park is located in front of the house where I grew up; the trees were planted neatly along the road with some colourful flowers. Along the road, there were also provided some red benches for people to rest and in the middle of the park was a lake. The lake water is clear, so you can saw many difference varieties of fish swimming freely there. Near the lake, there had a castle design playground. Due to the park is near my house so I could see the park from my room. Every day when I viewed out from my room window, I could see difference scene like a cute child who was holding his small hand with his parents; a group of people who were practiced Tai Ji with their slowly movement body and some of the children who played with joyful at the playground.  During some special festival like Kite Festival, the park was crowded by many people and you can saw many kite is on the blue sky with difference shape and colours.

Almost every day I spent my time at the park because I enjoy the ambience of the park. It let me calm down and release my pressure because the ambience in the park was full of pleasure. When I was sad, I liked went to the lakeside and sat at the lawn alone, listened the wind blow slowly and passed by my ear. The lake water flow quietly and bird was twittered on the tree, it seem liked they try to console me. Sometimes, I will bring my sketchpad and recorded down the scene of the lake like the orange colour of the sunset, the shaggy duck and people who were at the lakeside. I was a member of photographer in school so sometimes I will found my inspirations from the park and I was enjoyed take down the story of the park with my camera too.

            When I was a child, I liked went to the playground with my friends. In the playground, it was full of happy voice and I was very enjoyed when I was at the playground because I can have many activities with my friends like Hide and Seek, built sand castle or played the playground equipment. In addition, making a pit also was one of the activities which was very attracted me. We made pits in many places, such as in the sandbox or in the soccer court, but the most fun and dangerous place we made a pit was under the slide. It was such a nice place because someone who used the slide would absolutely be caught by our trap. The next morning, before we went to elementary school, we would gather at that place to check our trap. If there was some evidence that someone had been caught, we will felt proud to our trap and this make us felt happy. That is one of my good memories of childhood’s tricks.

            Life is like a movie which narrates your past experience. From the fast moving society, everything is going very fast and it also includes our life. Every people or event we met in our daily become special and unchangeable. Hence, why don’t we try to take a picture in the place which is memorable to you? It will be a valuable item to you in your life.

The places I wish to go

 When people talking about tourism, there are many places pop out in our mind. Actually, travel is not only for fun it also will be a part of your experience even knowledge in your life too! I am "hyper active" in travel and there have three places I wish to visit which is Maldives, Alaska and Japan.

  Maldives is the place which most appealing to me because I am a sea lover. Maldives is a country which made up by 1200 islands and it appear in between the trading route of the Indian Ocean. The building style in difference island in Maldives are difference and contain their characteristic.The beaches are clean, the water is clear and with some green colour, the sand is smooth and it is rich of special marine flora and fauna like: huge coral walls, manta rats, turtles and also the world's largest fish- whale shark. In Maldives, we also can enjoy some water activities like diving and snorkeling. Hence, it is a magnet for anyone who interest in marine life.

Alaska also define as "great land", it is once of the north state in United State. When went to Alaska, people can enjoy hiking experience in the Denali National Park. Seward also is one of the travel point in Alaska because here had Alaska Sea Life Center and people can discovery many marine species in here and you also can play the kiyaking at here too. People who is enjoying the natural can go to Fairbanks to have a riverboat travel. For me, I hope go to Alaska because I can see the Aurora at there.

When talking about Japan, most of the people will think about cherry blossom which is "Sakura" called by Japanese. The best season for viewing cherry blossom is spring and you see difference type and colour of cherry blossom along the road. Japan is a country which is the combination of modern and traditional because it not only contain the modern building or place like Disney land, Tokyo Tower), it also remain their transitional building like Kabuki and Nor Plays. Beside that, Shiretoko National Park in Hokkaido which is one of the UNESCO World Heritage also is a best visit place too. Since I am a sea-food lover so I will went to Hokkaido because there is the place produce sea-food which can stimulus my state buds.

As a conclusion,travelling can paint your life with colourful so why we don't give our-self a break and enjoy it?If I have a chance, I will go trough my dream travel too.

Blood is the main medium in our circulation system and a good function of circulation is depend by the amount of water in our blood.
