When I was a child， I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and go to the city． We lived on a farm， and especially in \～﹣inter， we were quite out off from the outside world． As soon as I left school， I packed my bags and moved to the city． However， I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages，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． ① 空气是如此的脏以至于我害怕出去． Then there is the problem of traveling round． Although I have a car， I seldom use it because of the traffic jams． One choice is to go by bike， but that can be dangerous． Of course there are advantages． First， there is so much to do in the city． And there are wonderful jobs and more chances of moving to a more important job or position． Finally，if you like shopping， the kind of goods is very surprising． ② What's more ， there are many shops that are not far from your home ．
Is life better in the city then？ Perhaps it is， when you are in your teens or twenties． However， as you get older， and especially if you have small children， the peace of the countryside may be a better choice． I certainly hope to move back there soon．
