介绍:
On Urbanization [00:10.18]The 2010 World Expo has turned "city life" into a heated issue. [00:17.98]Evidence mounts that a better city does make people's life better. [00:23.14]However, urbanization has brought about problems as well. [00:28.01]On the one hand, [00:29.83]urbanization boosts regional economy and introduces more technologies, [00:35.95]which enhance people's living standard. [00:38.63]Residents are able to enjoy not only convenient transportation, [00:43.89]but also various types of entertainment. [00:46.74]On the other hand, [00:48.51]along with regional development, [00:50.79]there also comes pollution. [00:52.82]Car exhausts, factory emissions and wasted water damage the environment [00:59.20]and city expansion causes extinctions of certain species. [01:04.08]Moreover, there have been a growing number of people in city [01:09.38]suffering from sub-health problems and physical and mental fatigue [01:14.23]due to the stressful and rapid-paced life. [01:17.79]From my viewpoint, [01:19.71]urbanization does bring benefits to our lives. [01:23.60]Yet, we should by no means ignore the problems that it causes [01:28.48]and take measures to handle them.
