City:A223,B; country:C201,D228
A: An increasing number of people are pouring into the city and looking for a nest there. Some people hold the opinion that we should live in the countryside. However, some others strongly argue that city is a better place for us to live in. It is quite natural that people from different backgrounds may have divergent attitudes towards it. Our opinions are divided.
D: I don't like the city, the main reason is the city --full of carbon dioxide in the air, with the development of civilized heat, dust and gas molecular mixture. This is my first impression of the city. Millions of lungs of people living in this little area are breathing oxygen to the air. But the charity of oxygen has to be baptized by the machine, and filtered by the automobile first. I prefer the air in the wild, to purify my lungs. The city’s air is hot, having more dust. Hot because people, enthusiasm, it contains all kinds of people, various of ideologies, In cities, people can not see each other clearly, which because of the large population of the city. The air in the village is just the opposite it is cold and fresh, and the people are purer.
C: Yes, I really agree with her. I have ever gone to live in the country. Even until now, I can’t stop thinking back to the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle peace of living. In my mind, nothing can be compared with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.
A: City born and city bred, I have always regarded country as something you look through a train widow, or something you occasionally visit during the weekend. I think you fail to mention the long and friendless winter evenings in front of TV—virtually the only form of entertainment. And nor is the city without its moments of beauty. There is something comforting about the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands that travel to work every day are tucked away in their homes.
And city is more convenient. The latest exhibitions, films, or plays are only a short bus ride away. But for people living in country, visiting the theatre is a major operation which involves a considerable planning. As the play draws to its close ,they wonder whether they will ever catch the last train home.
B: What’s more. There are more job opportunities readily available in big cities, the pay is more decent. Besides, children are supposed to be able to receive an education with a higher quality compared with their counterparts who live in the countryside. For most families, children’s education is always put first. More important, shopping, a necessary activity in everyday life is more convenient in the city than in the country. Urban citizens can buy what they want at any time of a day.
C: However, I hold a different view concerning this case. I believe that living in the countryside also has some advantages. First of all, people who live in the countryside often have a much comfortable life style. Most of them are immune from the suffering of high work stress. In addition, although the average pays is much less than that of big cities, the price of daily necessities, such as vegetables or meat, is usually more inexpensive. Therefore, the cheap life in the country appeals to many city-dwellers. What is more, instead of suffering loneliness which is prevalent in big cities, children might grow up healthier because of harmonious relationship among residents in the countryside. A country upbringing allows children to experience a more natural environment without all the distractions of entertainment places in the city.

D: Both sides make sense. Therefore it is really hard for me to draw a definite conclusion. To my mind, the countryside is a better place for people to live in. Country life is featured in the fresh air, the peaceful night, and the friendly people. Wherever the city may be, the life there is much more expensive than in the countryside. Furthermore, without all the dangers and distractions of city life, they will grow up healthier and better grounded in the moral values of their culture
