题目是住大城市好还是小镇好.
I am always amazed when I hear people saying that living in a small town is better than living in a big city, as if we should abandon our prosperous and comfortable urban life and return to rural sterile life. Although I do not deny living in small town has some obvious virtues, such as the friendly neighbor, the clean atmosphere, and the gentle pace of living, living in the metropolis, on the other hand, could provide us with various commodities, considerable employment opportunities and available entertainment.
To begin with, as the center of economy, culture and politics, major cities attract all kinds of department stores, chain stores and dollor stores which distribute throughout the whole city. When people want to purchase food, they can go to a variety of supermarkets. When people want to buy clothes, countless department stores are available, opening 24 hours, 7 days a week. Moreover, most stores offer the deliver services, which enable consumers to fulfill the purchase of commodities just make a phone call. Instead, people living in small town have to drive car or take public transport to big city every weekend for diverse and cheap goods.
Next, the metropolis usually means considerable jobs available. No matter White collar or Blue Collar, people all can find the suitable position for them in these liveable and dynamic cities. Due to such advantages, when students graduated from universities, most of them intend to stay in the big city, not the small town, even though some of them came from small town. For instance, according to a recent statistics of Chinese Employment Agency, 90 per cent graduates want to work in big cities, which in turn, contributes to the development of the metropolis.
Ultimately, people living major cities have lots of place to spend their spare time, such as bar, cinema and concert. After daily work, yong people can release their tension in rock concert, spend romantic times in cinema, and watch an excited baseball match between New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox in the Giant Stadium. By comparison, people living in small town just watch these programs in TV, not in live. Furthermore, lacking chaos of friends and fans, the watching atmosphere is often boring and unattractive.
In sum, taking into account above mentioned reasons, which are adequate and persuasive, the conclusion is obvious: after extremely examined all aspects of these two different life, living in the big city has edge over living in the small town, not only in economic views, but also in mental aspects. |
