　　Topic 43 Metropolis or Small Town? 城市或小镇?

　　Nowadays, many university graduates are in a dilemma when it comes to the choices of job locations.

　　Some of them prefer the metropolis like Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou. To them, life is never dull in the metropolis. What s more, modern enterprises and big companies are concentrated in big cities. These provide the graduates more employment opportunities and possibilities for self-improvement. However, other graduates are in favor of the life in small towns. The small towns are free from serious air pollution, heavy traffic, ceaseless noise or high cost of living. Furthermore, with the help of various Internet services, they can also enjoy a colorful and exciting life as those in metropolis do. In addition, the easy life and less vocational pressure are the key to trigger off boundless creativity.

　　In my opinion, the metropolis is not the only place for graduates to fully develop their abilities. Precious stones will glitter wherever they are placed. I firmly believe that the small towns would be more and more popular among the ambitious youngsters.
