In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in
the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn"t much
work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than in the countryside. People hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America-London, Pairs, New York, people are moving out of the
city. These are usually families who have some money and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the
noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, trains and buses. They don"t want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn"t polluted. So they move out. Some don"t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the town near the cities, and other people move to the
real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields!There,they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many
people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don"t make so much money and there isn"t much to do. Country people are very different and aren"t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. " It"s
wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights." they say, "I"m so glad I"m back in the city!"

However, problems appear. One of these problems is that it is difiicult for these children to get
education in cities.

one of the lucky girls who get a chance to study in one of these schools. Although she has to spend
about two hours and change buses twice, she is very happy. As a child from a migrant worker"s
(外来务工人员) family in the city, finally she has been given the chance to study.__1__, these free
schools are their best choice, because they can have free classes, textbooks, uniforms and meals in
the school for two years.
But there is a long way to go, __2__, because running a school is not easy and needs lots of money.
A school officer said they needed at least one million yuan to run the school.

help us. Also some people work as teachers for free." He added.
In one word, both the government and the people keep improving the whole country"s education
either in countries or in cities. Don"t you think the children nowadays are luckier than their parents
were? Anyhow, we must try to give them an equal chance to get better education so that we can
make our society a harmonious (和谐) one.

Some people have good memories. T hey can easily learn a long poem by heart. There are others who

said that he could walk down any street in London and then tell you the name of every shop he had passed.

learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when he is a small
child. Some children like boys and girls don"t live in their own country, and they seem to learn two languages
almost as easily as one. In schools it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because students have so little
time for it and they are busy with other lessons, too. A man"s mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos
not only of what we see but of what to feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photo with a camera, therc is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way, there is
much work to be done before we can keep a picture for ever in our minds. Memory is the diary we all carry

These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a "gap year" between their graduation
from school arid their university studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something else,
before they start their studies.
For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity-and Australia is the
favorite place to go.
Many parents, teachers and business people agree that traveling can teach important values.
"After a year of travcling, I felt I"ci grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people,
on all sorts of levels. "
There arc many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects hclping
people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don"t get paid for your work,
this
kind of work can teach important skills-decision making and finding answers to problems. for cxample
that will help a student in a job one day.
Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day
will always bc very useful.
If several university graduates are applying for the same job, gap year work cxperience allows you
to say: "I"ve already had some experience of this kind of work. "
And that can get you the job!
