When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 44 in this particular way, and not in any 45 way?
Here even the best guide-book 46 us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 47 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) 48 of a town.
