As is generally known, the urban city is an appealing place. In this case, some people may argue that living in a big city is a better choice, citing the reason that there will be more job opportunities. On the contrary, some others challenge the viewpoint and reason that living in a small town produces less pressure on citizens. From my perspective, I choose the latter one for the following reasons and examples.

例子

Firstly, living in a small town can provide us with a cleaner environment to ensure our physical health. Comparatively speaking, the less developed economy in the small town won't require the establishment of a large number of factories. In this way, chemical pollutants can be effectively controlled to offer local residents a friendly environment. Take Beijing, the capital city of China as an example. The existence of abundant factories and the increasing number of private vehicles have both led to the emission of harmful gases. Since the winter of 2012, the haze started to cover the city, posing a huge threat to local citizens' safety and triggering huge inconveniences in their daily life. Apparently, living in a city like Beijing will perplex citizens since it would be necessary for people to wear masks in case of breathing in dust and particles. Even outdoor activities of any kind would be banned because of the low visibility. Therefore, the serious environmental problem in a big city like Beijing can prove why I reject living in an urban city.

Secondly, less pressure while living in a small town can make sure a healthier lifestyle. To be more specific, the slow life rhythm caused by fewer workloads and the low price of daily commodities would enable us to enjoy our leisure lives more efficiently. Take what citizens have to suffer every day in Beijing as an example. A teacher of mine named Mr. Magician is a test trainer in educational training institute and more than 12 hours are needed to accomplish his professional assignments, such as designing his course, remedying students' homework to give instant feedback, and taking care of students' emotional change. Also, he bears large pressure from the company to improve students' scores during the test. Accordingly, what a miserable life my teachers live in Beijing can prove why living in a small town is a better option.

结尾段：一句话；重述自己的观点。

In a word, the benefits of living in a small town far outweigh the advantages of living in a big city.

agree or disagree: Young people should take several different jobs before they decide on a long-term career.

开头段：背景+引出+个人观点

选出题干中的关键名词造句：young people/jobs

版本1：Cultivating young people's diverse capabilities plays a significant role in promoting a country's development. In this case, some people may argue that it is necessary to encourage the youth to engage in various jobs before deciding on their long-term career, citing the reason the process of taking different jobs is beneficial to the accumulation of job experience. On the contrary, some others disapprove of it and argue that it would lead to a waste of time. From my perspective, I am in favor of the former one for the following reasons and examples.

版本2：In modern society, there are a number of job positions for citizens to choose from. In this situation, some people may argue that trying different jobs before deciding on a long-term career benefits us to explore what we are interested in. By comparison, some others disagree with it and claim that the youth might go astray owing to the less perfection of their values, morals, and world outlooks. As far as I'm concerned, the former one is more practical and logical.

With the development of society, more and more children have their own pocket money. Some people think that parents should control how their children save and spend their money. Others think that parents should permit their children to manage pocket money and children should be free to spend their money as they wish. From my perspective, I am in favor of the latter one for cultivating young children's ability to manage pocket money is of vital significance for their future lives.
