书面表达经典朗读素材
Life in the City and in the Country-城乡生活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 stores and schools. Traffic is efficient with regular schedules, 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.

参考范文：
On September 3,2009，a freshman came to a university in Wuhan in a luxurious car together with her parents，two professional guides and 19 suitcases of clothes and toys. This really surprised all her schoolmates present.
Different attitudes are held by the students towards the girl’s behavior. Some think that it is not wrong of her to enjoy the convenience of favorable family conditions，while others hold the view that it is against the development of independent living skills.
As far as I’m concerned，college students are no longer children and therefore should learn how to live on their own. They should experience challenges and hardships and get mentally prepared for their future life. Only in this way can they succeed in their future career and become useful to society.
