Doctor Achebe:
As part of our module on urbanization and rural-to-urban migration,we are examining factors that influence where people choose to live.Many people migrate from rural areas to cities for economic reasons.However,some continue living in rural areas despite fewer job opportunities.For this discussion,please explain in a post what you think are the main reasons people choose to live in rural areas rather than moving to urban areas.
Kelly:
I believe a major reason some people choose to live in rural areas rather than urban centers is the quieter,slower-paced lifestyle.Rural living typically has less noise from traffic and crowds.The quiet allows more relaxation and connection with nature.The less hurried pace of rural life appeals to those wanting to escape the stress of urban environments.
Andrew:
I think a major appeal of living in rural areas is the natural environment and air quality.The air tends to be cleaner and fresher with less pollution from factories,cars,and high population density.For people who value the ability to breathe fresh air,grow gardens,and spend time outdoors,rural living provides a healthier lifestyle.The scenic,less-congested environment offers a higher quality of life that can outweigh economic factors for some.
以下是我們給出參考:
In my view,the points raised by Kelly and Andrew are quite valid.I firmly believe that rural living often comes with a lower cost of living.This is particularly evident in the affordability of daily necessities and entertainment options,enabling people to lead a more comfortable life without the financial pressures often associated with urban areas.For instance,the cost of groceries tends to be notably lower in rural areas.You can find fresh produce,like tomatoes or apples,at significantly reduced prices when purchasing from local farmers compared to urban supermarkets.Additionally,rural living offers cost-effective entertainment opportunities.In rural areas,you can indulge in activities such as hiking in picturesque natural landscapes,fishing in local lakes or rivers,or participating in community events,often at minimal or no cost.Conversely,urban entertainment options,such as dining out at restaurants or attending theaters,are typically more expensive.Therefore,I believe that the lower cost of living is a primary factor influencing the choice of rural living.(168 words)
常規題例如work,study,hometown等仍然是準備的重點,但同時對9-12月題庫中出現的一些新的話題如chatting,help others,fishing,films等這樣的新題,同學們也要做好相應的準備。在準備這些話題的過程中,可能會涉及到一些同學們之前不太會積累的電影片名,例如“魚相關的電影”和“機器人相關的電影”:《海王》(Aquaman)、《小美人魚》(The Little Mermaid)、和《機器人總動員》(WALL•E)等,對于這些可能出現的話題詞和正確的發音,同學們需要提前做好應對和掌握,避免出現考試的時候無話可說的情況。
大作文:Some people think that printed books are no longer needed in a digital era as all writing can be stored electronically.Others think that printed books will still play an important role.Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
第二段:閱讀打印書籍仍然是很多人根深蒂固的習慣(rooted habit for many people),尤其是對那些不擅長或者無法接觸使用電子產品的人,打印書仍然是不可取代(irreplaceable)的;其次,紙質書的存在有的時候不僅僅是為了閱讀或者存儲信息,很多時候,也是一種收藏(collection)甚至是一種藝術品,而這是電子存儲無法替代的;
第三段:讓步,承認電子存儲所具備的優越性,例如電子書籍的閱讀更加便利和靈活,更能滿足現代人的需求(satisfy the demand)和適應現代人們的生活方式(cater to the modern lifestyle),但是顯然,認為所有的書寫和文字都可以通過電子存儲是過于武斷的了。紙質材料仍然滿足了很大一部分人的需求,給人們帶來獨特的閱讀和書寫的體現,而這是電子存儲無法提供的。
