作文：城乡生活对比(Life in the City and in the Country)

i have lived in this city for two years, but before that i lived with my family in a village about a hundred miles away from here. life is very different in the two places, but there are things that i like about each of them.

in the country it is quiet and beautiful since there are not many people. the air is clean, and there is beautiful scenery all around. the people who live in the country seem friendly and helpful to their neighbors. the cost of living is low there, because food is usually cheap. i like living in the city, too. in the city there are interesting things to do all the time. people have a big choice of activities. there is a wide selection of movies, and most of the theatres are good. everything is convenient here, since in the city you live close to grocery stores① and schools. traffic is efficient② with regular schedules③, so it is easy to get from one place to another.

i was happy in the country, but there are good chances for work and study in the city, so i will probably stay here for a period of time and there for another period of time.
