Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern, we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things. There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall, delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result, traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out. What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for people’s health.
To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of living in city.
发展绿色城市
With the development of economy, more and more high buildings are being built in large and medium-sized cities across the country. In urbanization, however, one thing should not be neglected---environmental protection. It is unscientific to judge a city’s modernization level by the number of high buildings. Recently, a new concept “environmental image” has come into being and become an important criterion with which to evaluate a city.
The concept stresses that a modern city must have efficient environmental promotion. It must have a proper proportion of green land, clean water and fresh air. To add more greenery to a city, I would like to make the following proposals:
1. We should popularize “vertical greenery” technique, that is, to plant more green-leaved plants like Boston ivy in densely-located buildings. The roof space of buildings should be used fully to plant flowers, fruits and grasses.
2. Certain room should be reserved for green belts, green patches in the building of new residential districts and the reconstruction of urban areas.
3. Measures should be taken to strengthen people’s awareness of greenery. People should, for example, be encouraged to plant “wedding trees” and “birthday trees”.
City environment is very important for us so we should keep it clean . First good environment is good for our health. Besides, it will also make an impression on the tourists, which will certainly influence the populatity of the city. So we should take measures to protect our environment. First we should set up some board saying something like protecting environment. Make all the public aware of the importance of the environment to us. Second we should plant more trees to make our city more beautiful and greener. And trees can absorb poisonous gas from cars and factories. I think only in this way can we have a greener and cleaner city.
翻译如下：
The city is full of noise, cars everywhere, and the air is cloudy. The traffic in the city extends in all directions. Subway and bus are very convenient.
while the air is fresh in the ural area.
However, the convenience brought by the city can not be ignored.
