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.

【寫法指要】
1）本文從兩種事物各自的優(yōu)點(diǎn)出發(fā)作比較，認(rèn)為農(nóng)村、城市各有優(yōu)勢(shì)，所以作者對(duì)兩種生活環(huán)境都喜歡。文章在第一段提出篇題，第二段前半部分寫農(nóng)村生活的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，后半部分寫城市生活的好處。該段的段落主題句是出現(xiàn)在中間的“I like living in the city, too.”。在對(duì)比分析的說(shuō)明文中，如果對(duì)比的兩種事物容納在一個(gè)段落中時(shí)，經(jīng)常采用段中主題句。文章的第三段又重復(fù)了文章的主題“I like living in the country as well as in the city.”。 所以，全文的每個(gè)段落都在重復(fù)同一主題，但卻用的是不同的表達(dá)方式和句法。
2）文中用了好多描寫城鄉(xiāng)不同情況的形容詞，如“quiet, beautiful, clean, friendly, helpful, cheap; wide, good, convenient, close, efficient, regular, easy, happy”等。這樣做可以使表達(dá)的內(nèi)容具體、生動(dòng)。
