推荐背诵课文。很多可以应用于农村与城市生活的比较举例中。

1. City born andcity bred, I have always regarded thecountry as somethingyou look at through a trainwindow, or something you occasionally visitduringthe week-end.

我生在城市，长在城市，总认为乡村是透过火车车窗看到的那个样了，或偶尔周末去游玩一下景象。

说是地地道道的哪里人。。XX born XX bred.

划线句子注意用的类比的方式表达自己的观点。

2. He isforever talking about the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, thecloseness to natureand the gentle pace of living.

滔滔不绝地大谈友好的农民，洁净的空气，贴近大自然的环境和悠闲的生活节奏。

3. My friend fails to mention the long and friendless winter eveningswhich are interrupted onlyby an occasional visit to the local cinema-virtuallythe only form of entertainment.

我的朋友没有提到在电视机前度过的漫长寂寞的冬夜——电视是唯一的娱乐形式。

4. He saysnothing about the poor selection offoods in the shops, or about those unfortunatepeople who have to travel fromthe country to the city every day to get to work.

他也不说商店货物品种单调，以及那些每天不得不从乡下赶到城里工作的不幸的人们。

Poor selection：少用choices吧。。

以上划线都可以举例说明乡村生活的劣势。

5. They could be saved so muchmisery and expense if they chose to live in the city where theyrightly belong.

要是他们愿意住在本来属于他们的城市，则可以让他们省去诸多不便与节约大量开支。

虚拟语气。
