Some of my classmates are in favour of living in the city. Firstly, there are more career opportunities in big cities wh
24、ich they think are very important to their future development. Because big companies have their headquarters located in big cities. Secondly, they think living in a big city is very comfortable. For one thing, it is convenient to take a bus or a taxi. On top of these, cities have parks, restaurants
25、and other entertainment places where they can seek excitement. But small towns have none of these. However, some other students hold a different opinion. They think the expenses of living are high in big cities. Furthermore, big cities are very crowded with too many people. The air is polluted which contributes to the poor living environment. As far as Im concerned, every coin has two sides. But no matter where we live, we should work hard, protect our natural environment and save energy. Lets fill the world with love.Goodbye!
