Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a passage to stat your views on the topic: urban or rural life. You should write at least 80 words and base your writing on the outline below:1. 有一种观点认为:城市生活比乡村生活好2. 你对这种观点的见解 3. 你的结论Urban citizens can enjoy a more convenient life than rural inhabitants. Town dwellers are well-informed for they have an easier access to the mass medium, including newspapers and magazines, while country people are net well-informed since their villages may be far from the cultural center. Public traffic in the city is available to the inhabitants that they may travel to different parts of the country during their vacation, But journey for rural inhabitants are more difficult for it may involve more efforts and expense to travel around. Shopping as a daily necessity is much easier in the town than in the country, for there are more shops and supermarkets in the community in the town. Many shops remain open during all hours of the weekdays, some are open evenduring the holidays, with all kinds of goods in store. But rural residents who live far away from the commemial centers have to go to town once a week. Restaurants and clothing shops have provided fast food for people working in town and ready-made clothes at reasonable prices so that people in town are furnished with good supply of fashion clothes and tasty food. But folks in the country can hardly enjoy such conveniences. Towns are attractive to young people for they are offered more work opportunities with better pay, which explains the cause of young people are pouring into the city to find a better work opportunity. However, there are some advantages to live in the country. In the town, people are pestered with problems such as air pollution, noisy surroundings and overcrowded apartment buildings. While in the country, people can enjoy fresh air, unpolluted environment, clean water, the quiet living surroundings. In addition, crime rates such as theft, robbing, murder in the town are usually higher than those in the countryside. People in rural areas may have better sense of security. Either the town or the country has its medta and disadvantages. To enjoy a convenient life in town and to enjoy the clean, quiet atmosphere of the country, more people have chosen to live in the suburbs. The residents there can enjoy all the conveniences and variety of urban life but also peace, safety, and quietness of the country. With the purchase of more automobiles, an increasing number of people are moving out of the town to suburbs. They build their homes in one of the many large villages that have expanded into new suburban communities.
