10. What are the differences between big cities and small towns in China?
10. 在中国大城市和小城镇有什么不同?
On the one hand,there're lots of skyscrapers in big cities. Life there is more convenient, and people can enjoy various forms of entertainment.Education is better in big cities because there are plenty of excellent teachers and advanced teaching equipments,which is beneficial to the future of children. But just as the saying goes,"Every advantage has its disadvantage"； big cities have their own disadvantages. For example ,big cities are crowded and noisy,and living space is limited. On the other hand,small towns have their own advantages. For example,life is quieter,and interpersonal relations are easier to deal with. So they are more suitable for old people to live in?
在一方面，大城市有很多的摩天大楼。生活在那里很方便，人们可以在那里享受各式各样的娱乐。大城市的教育更好，因为那里有许多出色的教师以及先进的教学设备，这些对孩子的未来有益。但是就像老话说的那样，“有利必有弊”；大城市也有其缺点。比如，大城市拥挤喧闹，生活空间有限。另一方面来说，小城镇有其优势。比如，生活更安静，而且人际关系更好处理。因此很适合老年人居住。

I think great importance should be attached to the modernization and humanization of cities since there'll be more and more city dwellers in the world,and habitability of cities should become people's priority.
我认为应更注重城市的现代化以及人性化，因为城市居民会越来越多，城市的可居住性成为人们首要考虑的事。
12. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the countryside?
12. 农村的优势与劣势是什么？
First of all,I'll talk about its advantages. In the countryside,the air is clean, the food is fresh,and houses are usually spacious. People are close to nature. Most of all,country people are simple and kind. However,just as the saying goes,"No garden is without weeds"; living in the countryside has its own disadvantages.For example,rural life is dull and monotonous, transportation is not convenient,and markets aren't so advanced. And the biggest disadvantage lies in education. Children in the countryside don't have access to high-quality education which results in their narrow horizons.
首先，我先说一下优势。在农村，空气清洁，食物新鲜，而且房子通常比较宽敞。人们接近自然。最重要的是，农村人朴实亲切。然而，就像老话说的那样，“没有不长杂草的花园”；生活在农村有其劣势。比如，农村生活单调乏味，交通不便，市场也没有那么先进。最大的劣势是教育。农村的孩子没有接受高质量教育的机会，结果导致他们眼界狭窄。
