　　I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, therefore I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was proved wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.(本文的观点还是追求大城市生活)

　　Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of(在…方面)transportation(运输), but in different ways. In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure(确保)a comfortable living. You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but then you have a choice of taking public transportation. It's not free, but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and insurance(保险). Especially if you don't have a car, you're better off living in a city.

　　I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another aspect of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment(混合物)of theatres, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small towns.(小城市有很多大城市没有的设施)

　　The final thing I like about large cities is the diversity of the people. The United States is made up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a small US town. Living in an area where everyone is just like me would quickly make me bored. Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel secure but bored in a small town.(作者的观点还是去美国很好，美国有不同人种不同文化)
