Question

【题目】 Every day, people pack their belongings and move to new places. Why do people move?There are many reasons.Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from a rural area,or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It’s possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let’s look at the following important reasons people move.

Jobs

People move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from rural areas to urban areas, such as cities, to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people inChina lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories. Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.

_________

When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to areas called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls,and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

New Experiences

Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.
