Writing
请比较城市生活的利与弊。包含以下内容：
优点
缺点
你的观点
Nowadays, many people choose to live in the city.
Nowadays, many people live in the city. Here are many advantages. Firstly, cities are equipped with cutting-edge buses and high-end train systems. These ways of transportation run on a regular basis and provide affordable rates. This makes traveling most cost-effective and comfortable. Secondly, cities are packed with green space, music venues, museums as well as other forms of entertainment. It will help you relax and enjoy yourselves. Last but not least, cities offer a wide range of restaurants if you are unable to cook for yourself. What’s even more convenient is that you can order online. While working at home, the food of your option will be delivered straight to your doorstep.
However, living in cities also causes many problems.
Firstly, most buildings are close together. Living in flats is the most common option. This means you are surrounded by many people, resulting in reduction of privacy. Secondly, the pollution in the city have negative influences on people’s life and work. This is mainly because there is too much traffic on the street and the smoke from cars release dangerous gases which do harm to people’s health.
In my opinion, cities provides us with better infrastructure and make our life more comfortable. The best educational institutions are concentrated in cities. This means we are given chances to receive a good education. What’s more, the best hospitals are situated in the cities which enable us to get better treatment.
