大学生校外租房的利弊(Advantages and Disadvantages of Living Off Campus)
More and more students like to live off campus rather than on campus nowadays. There have been two opposing views about living off campus. One view states that renting a house outside campus is better. Another view, in contrast to the first one, believes that it is more harm than good to live off campus. I would like to discuthe advantages and disadvantages of renting a house off campus.
The advantages could be as follows. First of all, time management is easier if living off campus, because students can make their own plan of when to get up, when to sleep, when to have meal and when to study. Students can also burn the midnight oil when the study is very busy. Secondly, students can have a free living style. They can cook for themselves in their house. They can play games, watch movies, and do whatever they want in the house, and these are not possible, or at least not convenient when living on campus. Finally, renting a house could help students learn how to live by themselves, and help them learn to control their behaviours. www.aIhUaU.com
The disadvantages are also obvious. In the first place, it may be not safe for a student living outside the campus without the supervision or help from the staff of the university. When emergencies happen, students have no one to ask for help. In the second place, some students may not be able to control themselves very well. They may addict to computer games, or even gambling, because nobody would control them. Last but not least, it should be more expensive to rent a house and live outside the campus.
To sum up, it is hard to say living off campus is good or bad. It is reasonable to say that it depends on the characteristics of the student. If he/she can control himself/herself well enough, it may be a good idea to live off campus. Otherwise, living on campus may be a suitable way of living。
A number of people prefer to live in countryside because they consider that living in big cities has many disadvantages.
许多人喜欢住在农村,因为他们觉得生活在大城市有很多的劣势。
First of all, the most obvious problem is traffic. In big cities, traffic jam is quite common everywhere, especially in the rush time. And a large number of people have to spend a great deal of time in going to work and coming back from work. In addition, traffic accident is another threat.
首先,最明显的问题是交通。在大城市里,到处交通堵塞是很常见的现象,尤其是高峰期。很多人不得不花费大量的时间在上下班的途中。此外,交通事故也是另一个威胁。
Second, with the increase of cars and buses in big cities, air pollution has become another disadvantage of living in big cities. Besides, a growing number of factory have also accounted for air pollution in big cities. Consequently, many diseases caused by air pollution are emerging in an endlestream.
第二,随着大城市的汽车和公交车数量的增加,空气污染已成为在大城市生活的另一个劣势。此外,越来越多的工厂也导致了大城市空气污染。因此,很多疾病通过空气传播造成了无止境的污染。
Finally, another image of big cities is relative to noise, such as the noise of transportation, the noise of construction and so on.
最后,大城市的另一个形象是噪音,如交通噪声,施工噪声等。

In a word, living in big cities has many advantages but also disadvantages. And living in big cities or countryside should depend on our personal preference and needs.
总之,生活在大城市有很多优点,不过也有很多缺点。生活在大城市或农村都应该是取决于我们个人的喜好与需求。
