Ⅴ. 讀寫(xiě)任務(wù)(共一小題，滿分25分)
I 've been in New York City for six months. As far as I know, New York City is one of the most popular cities in the world. The city was famous for its financial, landmarks, architectures and sports etc. In contrast to New York City, my native city in China is small and undeveloped. I can tell it just by taking a look at the education in New York City.
Education in New York City is different from my hometown. Firstly, many famous universities and colleges such NYU, Columbia University, SUNY and CUNY etc are located here. While my hometown owns zero university. Secondly, New York City keeps providing free education, lunch and metrocard for students until they finish high school. Thirdly, the teaching methods are free and creative. In New York City, the teacher won't teach you all the details about the solution, they're just give you some examples and you yourself finish the rest.
Now I really enjoy living in America.

Answer 1

Life in New York City is quite different from the writer’s hometown. Take education for example. Citizens in New York City can enter the key universities. Moreover, High school students can enjoy free education, as well as creative teaching methods in New York.
There are many advantages of living in the city. First of all, big cities provide them the greatest convenience in their daily lives. Not only transportation but also varieties of markets make people’s lives effortless.
However, some may argue that it is also harmful to live in the city. It is too crowded and noisy. Besides, city residents lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. In addition to all these, city-settlers live under constant threat. The crime rate in most cities is very high.
I choose to live in a big city, since I am in favor of the convenience of big cities, although I am longing for the cozy atmosphere and relationship among neighbors and friends which almost only exist in small cities. This is the best thing which is mainly represented by significant transportation and various markets. To begin with, effective transportation provides great convenience for citizens. For instance, by using city buses, people can go anywhere at any time without worrying coming home late. Further more, various markets make people’s lives easy. There are a plenty of commodities and services in large supermarket as well as many 24-hour stores . In that case, citizens do not go far away to buy groceries. With this convenience provided by markets, people will love their lives in big cities.
In this high technology age, time is money. Fortunately, big cities provide them the greatest convenience in their daily lives. This is the best reason I find to live in a big city.
