  Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages, and they are moving to live in big noisy cities.This is the movement from the country to the cities.It has been going on for over two hundred years.

  In many countries, the main reason(原因)people come to live in cities is work.After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work.And soon an industrial(工业的)area(区域)begins to grow.There is usually a living area nearby.The factory workers can live there.The families of these workers need schools, hospitals, and shops.So more people come to live in the area to provide these services(服务)-and so a city grows.

  In every big city in the world, there is a business area.There the big companies have their main offices.In the United States, this area is usually in the city center.The people who work there often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live outside the city.It is far away from the industrial area and the city center.

  What is the future of the big cities?Will they go on getting bigger and bigger?Perhaps not.Some big cities have become smaller in the last ten years.It is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the big cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
