《托福真题》

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can take care of their family members in big cities better than in the countryside. Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

《实验范文》

Hardly can you take care of your family members the way you like unless all of you live 'happily' together, wherever you might be. Money being the most important motivational factor that people work, chances are that you need to live in a big city where your workplace is. In addition, there are at least two good reasons--medicare and schooling--that you are able to take care of your loved ones better in a city than in the countryside.

A big city is a place where people's urgent medical needs could be sooner answered. This is more than you can expect in the rural environment. Despite obvious advantages like clean air and friendly neighbors, living in the countryside means being far away from almost everything, for example, good hospitals--not to mention good foods and a variety of entertainment . Indeed, there are times when a family member might become seriously ill, and in this case you certainly would not wait for the next week and see what could happen. For that matter, it makes sense living in a city so as to ensure that the old and the young in the family should be under proper medical protection in time. After all, you wish to take better care of your family members, don't you?

Sending children to a good school is an act of caring for them. There is no denying that children often do not receive the same quality of education in villages as they do in cities. Although it is true that in big cities competition is much more keen among peers, actually this is exactly what is right about how to educate youngsters. It is also true that school fees are generally higher in a city than those in the countryside, but money is exactly what motivates you to work hard in the first place. Thus, if you are not especially concerned about educating your children in the best possible way, it means that you are not doing enough in parenting. Fortunately, living in a big city you do not have to worry so much because there are plenty of opportunities for school children.

All things considered, nothing can be compared to the benefits that a big city has to offer for your family members, if only referring to health care and quality education. Now that you live and work in a big city, you simply do not want to leave your family members behind in the countryside. Because you want your family members to be happy, you may just as well think that happiness is having a caring, close-knit family in the city. (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh)
