Life in modern city truly causes a lot of nuisances. Firstly, citizens have to deal with traffic congestion every

day. This problem is even worse in the rush hour when so many people run out to work and are stuck on the

streets for hours. Next, high cost of living is also a serious issue in the city, especially in metropolitan cities.

More and more people find it difficult to live on their modest salaries when prices are going up and up all the

time. Financial pressure makes city dwellers become constantly stressed and tired. Finally, the polluted air

caused by exhaust emission from millions of vehicles, construction dust and the lack of green trees negatively

affect residents’ health. Many people suffer from respiratory problems such as cough, sore throat or asthma.

Indeed, city life brings a number of difficulties as well as challenges to its citizens.
