【盐仓24秋】外研版(2024)英语八年级上册A本Module 9 Population Unit 2 第一课时
① China's population is growing larger and larger, but Mr Li finds there are fewer and fewer people in his home town. Born in the countryside near Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, Mr Li now works at a university in Nanjing. When he was a kid, there were about2, 000 resident (常驻的) villagers. ▲ And most of them are old people and children. That's because young people leave their home town to work in the cities. In fact, moving to cities is a common phenomenon (现象) in China. There are many reasons why people would leave the countryside and move to a city. Let's learn three of them.
② More jobs Where there are more people, there are more jobs. In another word, there are fewer jobs in the countryside. This is the main reason why so many people leave the countryside and towns to live in big cities.
③ Better education (教育) For parents, it's very important for their kids to get well- educated. Usually good primary schools, middle schools and high schools are in big cities. Well, some parents have to leave their home town to work in cities, but they can't pay for their kids' education in cities. As a result, these kids become left- behind (留守的) ones.
④ The way of life The life in big cities is much more interesting and colourful than that in the countryside. Many move to a big city to experience many kinds of things, such as food, activities and movies.
⑤ Well, except for the reasons above, what else do you think can also cause the phenomenon?
