There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a small town.The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offers a cleaner， quieter and often friendlier place to live.However， despite the advantages of small town life， I prefer to live in a big city for several reasons.

　　在大都市和在小城镇生活各有优点，这是不可否认的。前者提供给人们比较多的乐趣及便利，而后者则提供给人们一个比较干净、安静，而且通常更亲切的居住场所。然而，尽管小镇生活有这些优点，但基于某些理由，我还是比较喜欢住在大都市里。
