    Hi Dan,
    Thank you for your flowers the other day. They were very
    lovely, and you really made my day.
    By the way, I'm sorry to tell you that I won't be able to meet
    appointment you next Monday as arranged. Something has come up at
    work and I will be attending a meeting on Monday with the
    management to sort it out.
    I'm really sorry that.....

    More and more people are moving to big cities in search of


    a better life. This essay will be looking into the pros and cons
    of this decision. / Big cities are attracting a larger number of
    people from different places to come and settle down. City
    life, in my opinion, offers both benefits and drawbacks.

    Living in a big city is extremely convenient. First, it is quite easy to travel around because the public transport
    systems such as buses and undergrounds in urban centers are often extensive and efficient. Moreover, finding a
    job in big cities is easier than in other places like the countryside since big companies and international
    corporations often base their operations there. Finally, cities offer easy access to essential services such as
    education, healthcare and entertainment. This makes cities ideal place for families and young aspiring people who
    are in search of high-paying jobs.

    Besides a number of advantages, living in a big city can pose some difficulties.
    First, cost of living such as health care service and education is very high. In addition, housing is one of the most
    stressful issues. Housing prices are outstripping the income of most people, making it hard to own a decent house or
    apartment. Moreover, commuting/traveling around is also time-consuming and stressful because of frequent traffic jams.
    For example, it takes people in big cities like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city at least 3 hours a day in their commute to and
    from work. Finally, air and noise pollution is becoming a serious threat to people's health. In fact, more and more cases of
    asthma and other respiratory problems are being reported in big cities, and these health problems can be traced to the
    bad air quality resulting from the constant traffic in these urban areas.
