What is the difference between life in a large modern city and in the countryside? What’s your opinion?

　　Most people prefer to live in a large modern city for the conveniences available there. They can get all kinds of food and clothing at big shops and markets. They can also get the information they need. In addition, life in the city is quite colourful since there are plenty of recreational facilities. Other people, however, would rather live in the countryside, for it is closet to nature. They are attracted by the fresh air, clear streams and the friendly people there.

　　As far as I am concerned, I think both the city and the countryside have disadvantages. I would like to live in the city for a time and then go to the countryside for a change.

　　考生在回答这类需要作出比较的问题时，也应从自己熟悉的角度出发，比较才能来得容易些，充分些。
