大学英语作文:城市和乡村哪个更有利于孩子成长?Which is more conducive to children's growth in the city and the countryside

Having grown up in the country myself, I can say without a doubt that I want my own children to grow up in the city. Life in the city is incomparably better for children than life in the country. The city has better schools, health care, jobs, and more exposure to the outside world. The two most important things in any childs life are health and education. In the country, if children get sick, there are no good hospitals to take them to. Families are often so poor that they cant afford to send all of their children to school, and the schools are usually of low quality anyway. In the cities, on the other hand, health care facilities and schools are of excellent quality. Children from cities also have a much higher chance of getting into excellent universities. City universities have large numbers of spaces reserved for local residents while they have relatively fewer spaces for students from the countryside. If I want my child to have a good chance of getting into a good university, I would raise them in a city. City salaries are significantly higher than salaries in the country. Jobs in the city are also much easier, on average, than jobs in the country. A worker in the country might spend 14 hours a day laboring outdoors in the fields and make much less money per month than the city worker who typically works only eight hours a day. I want my child to grow up and get a good, high-paying job. A better place to find those jobs is in a city. Finally, I want my children to grow up into a world that is larger than just their immediate surroundings. In a city they will have a chance to meet people from all over the country and all over the world. They will have chances to absorb history and culture from the cities parks, theatres, and museums. Only in the city will they have the chance to be truly global citizens.

我在乡下长大，我可以毫无疑问地说，我希望我的孩子在城市里长大。在城市生活的孩子远比在乡村生活的更好。这个城市有更好的学校、卫生保健、工作和更多的接触外界。孩子生命中最重要的事情是健康和教育。在乡村，如果孩子生病，没有好的医院可以带他们去。家庭往往是如此的贫穷，以至于他们不能把所有的孩子送上学校，而学校通常是低质量的。在城市，另一方面，卫生保健设施和学校的优良品质。来自城市的孩子也有更高的机会进入优秀的大学。城市大学为当地居民预留了大量的空间，同时也为农村学生的空间相对较少。如果我想让我的孩子有机会上一所好的大学，我会在一个城市里抚养他们。城市的工资显著高于该国的工资。这个城市的就业机会也比农村的工作容易得多。在该国的工人可能会花上一天14小时的劳动在田野和每月挣的远不如城市工人通常一天工作八小时。我想让我的孩子长大后得到一份好的，高收入的工作。一个更好的地方找到工作是在一个城市。最后，我希望我的孩子们能成长为一个比他们周围的环境更大的世界。在一个城市里，他们将有机会与来自全国各地的人和世界各地的人见面。他们有机会从城市公园、剧院、博物馆中吸取历史和文化。只有在城市里，他们才有机会成为真正的全球公民。
