When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money---it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising---and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem better. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

First of all, when you choose your first hike, you should be careful. If you choose a too easy one, you’ll still have a nice day outside to enjoy. However, if you choose a too hard one, you may be very tired and can’t have a good time.
Secondly, it’s good for a beginner to join a group. The people in a group can help each other. If you decide to take a hike by yourself, you should prepare as much as possible. You should wear right shoes to make your feet comfortable. Also, take a map with you. If not , you’ll fail to find your way home.
At last, don’t forget to take a mobile phone or a whistle(口哨). When you are in trouble, you can use it to get help. A pleasant hike will give you a sense of freedom(自由) and you will also have a clear mind(头脑) and then return to your studies after it.
