英语六级考试预测作文：喜欢住在大城市还是小城镇

 　　英语六级作文一直考试的重难点，也是考生们苦苦关注的最后压轴部分。下面爱语吧为大家整理了六级作文预测题，希望可以为大家带来帮助！

　　喜欢住在大城市还是小城镇

　　Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in?

　　参考范文：

　　Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure 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 there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It’s not free, but it’s often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially if you don’t have a car, you’re better off in the 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 finding¹ a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another pan² of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment³ of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.

　　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 smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring.

　　Of course, security⁴ is a concern, and that’s one area where small towns are superior⁵ to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious⁶ and live in a large city than to feel secure⁷ but bored.

　　写作思路：

　　选择在大城市生活

　　(1)大城市工作机会更多一些

　　(2)大城市生活相对方便，购物、交通等等

　　(3)大城市的娱乐也更多，如电影院，博物馆等等。
