https://www.facebook.com/hocvietielts/posts/891348010895125
As major cities in the world are growing today, so do their problems. What are
problems for young people who are living in the cities as the result of continued
growth? How problems might be solved?
- The air quality in big cities is often poor, so the pollution level is greater than in the
contryside -> health problems.
- The growth of cities results in cultural values fading away, and young people may
not percieve the tradition fully.
