　　寫 作 提 綱Where to live— in the City or in the Country?

　　Many people       appreciate the conveniences of the city. ②With so many supermarkets within easy reach,for example,city dwellers find it easy to pick up whatever they need.Also,the city usually has a better transportation service.If,③unfortunately,one falls ill suddenly,what he needs to do is to dial a phone number,and the doctor will be available in an instant.

　　Country life,③on the other hand,is no less attractive.Country people are in close contact with nature.④They breathe fresh air and listen to the song of the birds.They make friends with crops and trees,cows and sheep. And they       enjoy the peace and calm of the pastoral environment.

　　③However,both the city and the country have their own disadvantages.The city,⑤despite all its good points, may be a place too crowded for people to live in.And urban people are often under pressure,worrying over such problems as pollution,crime and unemployment.As for rural inhabitants,they are free from traffic noise and jams,yet they may find country life somewhat less convenient,and sometimes not so colorful or exciting.

　　③As far as I am concerned, I       hate over�瞔rowdedness.②With nature�餾 beauty of the country and the hustle and bustle of the city,I would prefer to live in the country.As to the inconveniences,the countryside, ⑤ owing to the reform and opening policy,is       undergoing great changes,      wiping out all the disadvantages.

　　寫 作 提 綱How to Solve the Housing Problem in Big City?

　　—Living in Satellite Cities or Underground
　　As is known to all,when it comes to the housing problem in cities,we will always find it difficult to make up our mind as to whether to solve it by building satellite cities or by living underground.There are many big differences between the two alternatives,and we should keep the following points in mind while making the choice/decision.

　　In the case of building satellite cities,it is clear that the fresh air and beautiful scenery there appeal greatly to the people in cities.Besides,with many people leaving the city,it will relieve big cities of the burden on land and space.What�餾 more,it also provides a much better environment for people to live in.On the contrary,if we live underground,we tend to feel warm in winter and cool in summer.In addition,by living underground,we are still close to where we work or study.And finally,living underground can keep us away from the traffic noise and polluted air.

　　No doubt,it depends on which kind of life style we value more.As far as I am concerned,I prefer to build satellite cities,because I�餯 rather live quietly in fresh air.And this is based on my consideration that health is more important than convenience.
