Writing
Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether we should live in the city. The opinions are divided
部分同学的观点 其他同学的观点
找工作容易 生活消费高
交通便利 人口多,拥挤
有公园、饭店等休闲场所 空气污染、居住环境差
Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether we should live in the city. The opinions are divided.
Some of my classmates are in favour of living in the city. Firstly, there are more career opportunities in big cities which 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 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 I’m concerned, every coin has two sides. But no matter where we live, we should work hard, protect our natural environment and save energy. Let’s fill the world with love.
Homework:
1. Read the text fluently after class .
2. Finish writing the composition.
