托福Toefl作文模拟题附范文 第51篇:住在乡下是否比城市好

Some people assert that rural areas are better places to live than cities. However, from my perspective, it’s too early to make the judgment without considering the factors below. First and foremost, rural areas are unlikely to be prosperous due to the small population. In these small towns, you hardly see elements of business. Modern shopping centers won’t be built in these places since they are not able to make enough profits. The infrastructures are also limited, maybe no airports, no museums, or even little public transportation. To make matter worse, there are not sufficient jobs for youngsters, which make living in rural areas not a pleasure, especially for youths. Secondly, quite a lot rural areas don't have blue sky and fresh air as expected. Some people criticize big cities of too many cars emitting exhaust. But things going on in the countryside are many times as in cities, where exhaust are mainly from factories rather than just vehicles. Take my hometown as instance, which is a small town, where tens of factories were built along the river, turn the water to black. Moreover, they let out polluted air directly, turning the sky dark. The environment there is sacrificed to facilitate the economy, making it not a comfort zone to live in. On the contrary, crowded as the cities are, they still provide higher quality lives. That’s exactly why they are still attractive for people to move in. They come to cites, with the hope to achieve better development and self value. Definitely there are much more resources in cities than rural areas, wealth, education, entertainment and so on. Admittedly, to make a living in cities is not easier, but as the saying goes, no pay no gain.
