Life in a Big City
Taichung is one of the biggest cities in Taiwan. Its population is now more than two million. Fifty years ago, most people there were farmers. Today many of them work in factories, shops and offices.
A big city gives people more jobs, but life there is not always easy. Houses are expensive, and the roads are busy. Some poor families live in very small rooms. For them, city life is not as easy as it looks. Social workers say the city must help them more.
