Where to live

1. 有人喜欢住在城市；2. 有人喜欢住在农村；3. 我的看法。

The place where we live is very important to our daily life.

Someone prefers to live in the city, because there are various kinds of facilities in the city which can satisfy people’s needs, there are big shopping malls so they can buy everything they want, and there are subways, buses, taxies which can make the traffic more convenient.

But someone have the different opinions, they think living in the town is better, because the air and the environment is better than in city, and the life is more slow, they can enjoy the sun, the wind and the fresh vegetables.

In my mind, I hope to work in the city to make more money and have the convenient life, but live in the town to enjoy the lovely gift which gave by the nature.
