3.2.4 Cities
Most of European and North American populations lives in urban environment which is cities and towns. Cities are very big towns with high population density. Houses are very close to each other, often with many flats in one building, so called blocks of flats. There live several families in one building, but often the neighbours do not know each other very well. This is why cities are sometimes criticised for their anonymity. On the other hand, cities provide a huge number of possibilities and opportunities such as jobs, services, culture, health facilities, educational facilities and other institutes. Services are shops and offices that provide goods and other help, e.g. supermarkets, haidressers, car shops, post offices, newsagent's, banks and other financial services, clothes shops, book shops, pharmacies, electronics and myriads of others.
If you are shopping for food, you can go a supermarket or to smaller shops. Supermarkets have everything at one place, but the quality may not be the best. If you want local products, it is a good idea to try smaller shops. You might want to go to the butcher's, the baker's, the greengrocer's and the dairy shop. You might also stop by in a sweet shop for a cake or pie. After the shopping you can sit down in a coffee shop or café, a restaurant, a bar or a pub. If you are looking for some entertainment try cinemas and theatres, amusement parks, zoos and so on.
