城市生活英语（1）

Life in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. People in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. Sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb one‘s curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. Villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.

城市生活和乡村和农场生活大不相同。大城市的人更注意尊重个人隐私。有时候这种感觉似乎是一种冷漠，但是它是城市生活的一个约俗，以遏制一个人对陌生人的个人事务的好奇。村民和农民有可能所有的邻居对表现出极大的兴趣。城市给聪明的年轻人提供了更多机会，来自村庄和农场的求职者有往大都市发展的稳定趋势。

Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities， life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country， and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.

But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health， life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.

I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life.

Theres a great difference between city life and country life in population. Big cities are so crowded,while in the countryside, there are much fewer people.

People in big cities are nice,friendly and helpful. They are polite to strangers. When you get lost, they are willing to show you the right directions. When youre hurt in an accident,theyre also eager to send you to hospital at once. However, citizens dontknow each other so well, because most of them are busy with earning their bread. While in the countryside, things are much more different. Almost everyone is so familiar with each other. They always say hello to each other onthe way. Even though you are strangers, they also talk to you like old friends.And they are also happy to invite you to dinner in their homes.

Maybe most people like the big cities, because of the good living conditions. But I prefer to live in the countryside, for its much quieter and more peaceful. In the morning, I can lie in the bed, listening to the birds singing. It seems like a free concert, whichcan bring me a happy mood. Moreover, I can meet different kinds of people outside. When I greet to them and smile to them, they also do the same to me.Its just a simple life, but the feeling is so great.

也许大多数人喜欢大城市，由于生活条件好。但我更喜欢住在乡村，因为它更安静、更和平。早上，我可以躺在床上，听着鸟儿歌唱。就像是免费音乐会一样，能给我带来好心情。另外，我可以预见不同的'人。当我向他们问候微笑时，他们也同样那样对我。这只是简单的生活，但感觉是那么的美好。

People who live in cities can enjoy the coveniences of hospitals,schools and colleges,places of entertainment,various shops,and modern means of transport.But they have to endure noise,dirty air,traffic jams and crowded housing conditions.

People who live in the countryside can enjoy the green fields,fresh air,spacious houses and unsophisticated folkways.But comparatively their life is somewhat dull,and there are fewer schools and hospitals.The youngsters have to go to somewhere else to attend college.

If it is up to me make the choice,I prefer the urban life.Because I think there are more opportunities and challenges for young peple in cities.Besides,we can live a more exciting life which is full of change and variety.
