你喜欢居住在城市还是在乡村，说说你的理由。
I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.
Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living. You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It's not free, but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially if you don't have a car, you're better off in the city.
I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.
The final thing I like about large cities is the diversity of the people. The United States is made up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring.
Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel secure but bored.
我在一个小镇长大，然后搬到一个大城市，所以我经历了两者的好坏。我从来没有想过我会喜欢住在大城市，但我错了。在一个十年的生活中，我无法想象再住在一个小镇上。
小城镇和大城市在交通方面都存在一些问题。在一个小镇上，你必须拥有一辆汽车以确保舒适的生活。没有交通工具你不能到处走动，因为没有任何公共交通工具。大城市通常交通拥挤，停车费用昂贵，但你可以选择乘坐公共交通工具。这不是免费的，但当你考虑汽油和时间的时候，通常比开车便宜。特别是如果你没有汽车，你在城里过得更好。
我喜欢大城市的刺激。小城镇步调缓慢。大城市意味着你必须适应各种情况，比如找一条新的工作路线或尝试一家新餐馆。我非常喜欢挑战。城市生活的另一个亮点是各种各样的文化活动。大城市里有各种各样的剧院、音乐和舞蹈表演。这些东西在小的很少见。
我喜欢大城市的最后一件事是人民的多样性。美国是由不同种族、宗教、能力和兴趣的人组成的。然而，在一个小城镇里，你很少见到如此多的人。我认为生活在一个每个人都和我一样的地方很快就会变得无聊。
当然，安全是一个问题，这是小城镇优于大城市的一个方面。尽管如此，我还是宁愿谨慎一点，住在大城市里，也不愿感到安全而无聊。
