Whether to move to another place to live has sparked a heated discussion. Living in one town or city all the life, in some people’s views, is of great benefit because they can develop a strong sense of community. Contrary to these people’s opinions, I believe that living in different places is of more benefit, due to its contribution to personal development and life experience.

An obvious benefit of living in different places is that people can develop interpersonal skills. When people live in different places, they need to adapt to the new environment. By learning about different cultures and rules, people can develop their social skills. Besides, people will be more independent after they have experienced different situations. Take the exchange students as examples. As we know, there are many exchange programs in universities. By living in a new place, the exchange students can communicate with local people and achieve self-independence, which has great significance to students’ growth.

Furthermore, living in different places is one of the most effective ways to give people more life experience. It is the geographical changes that give people chances to try different foods, environments, and even jobs in different places. In the process of exploring different things, not only can people find what they are best at, but they can also experience a diverse life. For example, if we live in a tropical area all our life and never travel to another city, we would never know what winter looks like.

Admittedly, living in one town or city all life can give people a feeling of stability and security. However, I hold the view that living in different places can help people to develop their personal skills and experience a colorful life.
