　　Advantages and Disadvantages of My Town

　　Every place has its advantages and disadvantages, including my hometown. A newcomer to my town would find not only several things to enjoy, but also a few drawbacks. Among the good points of my town are the friendly people. The residents here are very kind and will make a new neighbor feel welcome. Also, my hometown is very convenient. Stores and businesses keep long hours and the public transportation is very good. Last but not least, there are many places to spend leisure time in my town. They range from cinemas and pubs to public parks. Whatever a newcomer’s interests might be, I believe he would find something to enjoy in my town.

　　Unfortunately, there are also a few things about my town that a new neighbor probably wouldn’t like. For example, because it is a crowded place, it is often noisy here. Someone who is used to the peace of the countryside may be disturbed by the sound of traffic. In addition, life here is very fast-paced and competitive. Most people do not have many opportunities to just take it easy. A newcomer might find the pressure difficult to deal with. And finally, because I live in a big city, it is necessary to travel to the suburbs of the countryside to really experience nature. But despite these disadvantages, I think that anyone who moves to my town will find much to enjoy. In conclusion, we should all concentrate on the benefits our living environment provides?

　　我居住的城镇的优缺点

　　每个地方都有它的优缺点，我的家乡也不例外。初次到我居住的城镇的人会发现一些不错的事情，但也会发现一些缺点。我的家乡的优点之一是人们很友善。这里的居民非常亲切，会让新搬来的邻居觉得自己很受欢迎。同时，我的家乡很方便。商店和公司的营业时间都很长，而且公共交通也很便利。最后值得一提的是，在我的家乡有很多地方可以消磨休闲时间，从电影院、小酒馆到市立公园都有。无论初来者的兴趣是什么，我相信他在这里一定会找到他喜欢的东西。

　　遗憾的是，我的家乡也有一些新来的邻居可能会不喜欢的地方。例如，因为这里十分拥挤，所以常常很嘈杂。习惯乡村宁静的人可能会受到交通噪音的干扰。此外，这里的生活节奏非常快，而且竞争激烈。大多数的人并没有很多机会可以放松。初来者可能会觉得要应付这些压力很困难。最后，因为我住在大城市，所以必须到郊区或乡下去才能真正体验大自然。尽管有这些缺点，我认为任何搬到我的家乡来的人都能找到许多乐趣。总之，我们应该把注意力集中在我们的生活环境所具有的优点方面?
