英语四级范文宝典：大都市生活带来的优点

　　【题目】

　　Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

　　【范文】The Advantages of City Life

　　There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner， quieter and often friendlier place to live. However， despite the advantages of small town life， I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.

　　First， life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available and stores are open later. Also， there is better public transportation so it is easier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city. Second， there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are many places I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally， and most importantly， the city offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attracts the best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobs so it is easier to move up the career ladder.

　　For all of these reasons， I prefer to live in the city. Although I sometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town， nothing can make up for the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful， I believe the best place to live is the city.

　　【译文】都市生活的优点

　　在大都市和在小城镇生活各有优点，这是不可否认的。前者提供给人们比较多的乐趣及便利，而后者则提供给人们一个比较干净、安静，而且通常更亲切的居住场所。然而，尽管小镇生活有这些优点，但基于某些理由，我还是比较喜欢住在大都市里。

　　首先，都市生活比较方便，可以买到比较多的商品，而且商店营业时间比较晚。此外，都市里有较好的公共运输工具，到哪里都比较容易。在都市里，我几乎可以轻易地找到任何我想要的东西。其次，在都市里有更多的方式消磨休闲时间。有很多地方可以让我去认识朋友，并且玩得很开心。最后，也是最重要的一点是，都市提供更多教育及就业的机会。都市往往能吸引最好的老师以及最好的公司。因为工作机会比较广泛，所以要升迁也比较容易。

　　基于上述种种理由，我比较喜欢住在都市。虽然有时候我会想念小镇新鲜的空气及安静的生活，但没有什么可以弥补都市提供给我的机会。如果想要成功，我认为最好的居住地点就是都市。
