The First Debater:
Good afternoon everyone!
Cities are ttlements bad on non-agricultural industries and non-agricultural population. Countryside is an area bad on agricultural industry including natural economy and the first industry, a variety of farms such as livestock and aquaculture ['ækwəkʌltʃə(r)] and forest production areas, horticulture ['hɔrtɪ,kʌltʃɚ] and vegetable production areas.
With the continuous progress of industrialization, people began to unconsciously ignore the existence of countryside. However, from the perspective of our side, we keep firmly the opinion that people are much happier living in the countryside than in the city. The reasons are as follows: To begin with, the amazing and breathtaking pastoral ['pæstərəl] landscape and natural scenery that only owed by the countryside may be the vital and decisive factor to keep the majority of rural people continuing living in the countryside without migrating to cities. As we all know, the modernization brings not only the civilization progress to us but also the unavoidable damage to the natural environment for human activities, which is especially active in the cities. All indicators of the cities’environment, such as the Particulate [pɚ'tɪkjə,let] Air Pollution, Electromagnetic：[i'lektrəumæg'netik] Radiation Pollution, Autom
obile exhaust pollution are fairly excessive compared with the countryside’s, thus people in cities can ldom enjoy a healthy and positive living conditions.
Besides, in the countryside, people can also enjoy the deep human touch by chatting, by visiting each other now and then, by working out group by group, while the people in cities have no choice but to be a lonely commuter day after day year after year, thus also making the relationship between them more and more estranged. There is a survey among 7 cities showing that people’s average expen on their fare for their commute every month even reach 375 yuan, which takes 12.5 percent of their income; also in 2008, the rush hour in Nanjing extended from 3.5 hours to 5 hours and the average speed of automobile is 20 kilometers per hour. It really reflects the heavy traffic and overburdened transportation, which discourages people to live in cities.mobi格式
In addition, there is also a indispensable reason should be responsible for the happiness derived from the countryside; people in countryside may hardly go to the supermarket but their daily diet is relatively healthy and cure for which their food is green food and their water is derived from the ground. In the meantime, the sudden outbreak of transmitted dia disaster can sweep down the city easily but the countryside otherwi, for its relatively remote location and the infrequent exchange with the outside.
To sum up, we maintain quite firmly the view that people are happier living in the countryside than the cities, owing to its quiet, friendly and harmonious environment and tight relationship among neighbors and the freedom of going around and working and the less chance of picking up some dia.

The Final Debater:
Dear classmates:
Now plea let me come to sum up the debating. Today’s topic is “People are happier living in countryside than living in cities”. As my Teammate Zhang said, what countryside we talk about today is the modernized countryside with Infrastructural facilities built. On the basis of this countryside, we come to today’s debate.
Rents are high; buying a hou of your own for average people is impossible. The cost of living is higher in big cities. Can you imagine that you cost 20 going to change time of a t of dwelling hou? Can you imagine the endless job being in progress day in and day out? Can you imagine endless but dull traffic condition?
We know the big city has a lot of recreation facilities, but as for many people the recreation facilities do not all belong to them.
