are beginning their long winter’s rest.As a last thing I also like autumn because school starts.I get
excited when I think about going back to school and seeing my teachers and friends again. To sum

the development of their cognitive abilities.
For example,when I was a child ,I used to live in a big apartment ,so I had many friends in
my apartment.The second reason why children should grow up in the city is that children
can gain more cultural experience.City children go to the museums ,theaters and cinemas. In
addition ,they have a beter opportunity to see movies,shows and other kinds of
entertainment.In the countryside,there are not cinemas,theaters,museums,so children who
grow up there may not have the opportunity to enjoy these experiences.The third reason
is,there are more opportunities for city children to involve in activities.For example,city
children can join sports teams,dance classes or take an art course after school because there
are many such programs in a big city for children of all ages.In conclusion,the city is the
best place a child to grow up.
