To live in a small town or live in a big city Although some people prefer to live in a big city because there are many shops or restaurants and public transportation is convenient, I prefer to live in a small town. The reasons why I prefer to live in a small town are because taking life easy and quietly in the country is suitable for me, a small town has more fresh air than a big city, and relationships between people are more closer.

What makes an adult?

I think that people generally become adults at age twenty. However, some people never gain the adult outlook no matter how old they get, and other people gain it before they turn twenty. I think hitting a certain age makes them an adult because Japan has a coming-of-age ceremony when people become twenty years old though. But their experiences have the biggest effect on making them an adult, such as moving out of the house, getting a job, and getting married. Since they are twenty years old, they are not limited by age what they want to do. For example, they can drink alcohol, vote in any election, and get married without their parents' permission. These privileges allow them to have experiences and make their own decisions. And also when they get something new, the experiences give them new knowledge or new feeling. For example, when they live alone, they must do housework by themselves and take care of themselves. I think leaving their home help them glowing up their inside because they must have a sense of responsibility. I believe adulthood is not only a number, but it is a way that someone handles himself or herself. Adult behavior includes making proper, mature decisions and understanding and accepting the consequences for those decisions. An adult recognizes that they don't know everything and there is always room to grow and learn. When an adult makes a mistake they try to correct their mistake and learn from the experience. Therefore, the experiences have the most effects on making them adults.
