The living standard gap between city and countryside is bigger and bigger. In my country, dozens of rural young people have been absorbed high salary and comfortable living in the big city. So more and more young people select to work in the city and abandon farming for a better future. In this essay we will examine the problem of the increasing living standard gap between city and countryside and the solutions, such as improving educational level and economy in the country.

The main reason is the different standard of education between the city and the countryside. Because of poverty, dozens of country students lose the chance to study at school. So country people’s educational level is too low to find jobs of high salary. Commonly high salary requires high educational level. Manual labor² means low salary: therefore, the country people will be poorer. It will become a bad circle.

Another reason is that economic development is not balanced between city and countryside. Such as both Traffic and transport are not convenient, information to be received slowly and industrial institution is too simple, all of them are the direct and primary reasons to induce this kind of problem that the growth of countryside’s economy less than city’s.

As result of the gap in living standard between the city and the countryside, the outlook is somewhat grim. People already realize this problem exists and are trying to solve it.

For one solution, developed cities should spend plenty of money on building country schools and helping³ poor country family that they have the ability to support their children to go to school.

The second solution is uniting city and based on country conditions of nature to progress local economy specially⁴. In most of the countryside, plenty of natural resources aren’t utilized⁵ and developed. On the contrary, developing cities need lots of resources. They can help each other.

The important thing is that developed cities should provide help to change the country, in order to reduce the living standard gap between the city and the countryside.

As the step of economic development accelerates, the gap between the city and the countryside becomes more and more overt¹, which arouses colossal⁶ concerns. Take a further look at the phenomenon, there are three major causes.

Firstly, the insufficiency of investment in the rural areas accounts mainly for the issue. China, for example, covers a very large area. Due to the emphasis on the development in the coastal⁷ areas, the government devotes more investment in the large cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. The investment, undoubtedly⁸, is repaid by the threefold increase of economy and commerce in these cities. However, this is not the case in the rural areas and the western regions. The lack of investment barriers the productivity and economic development and sharpens the gap between the city and the countryside.

Secondly⁹, the low education level in the rural areas contributes partly to the gap of living. Education is the prime force of productivity. Keeping this in mind, many countries and governments give priority to the development of education. China’s education witnessed a rapid growth in the past decade. However, the education level in the countryside still keeps very low. The enrollment¹⁰ of primary schools and secondary schools is much lower compared with the advanced regions, not to mention the developed countries in the world. Without good education, the development of economy and technology would be a dream difficult to be realized.

Finally, the influx¹¹ of migrant workers to the cities from the countryside deteriorates¹² the undeveloped condition in the rural areas. The life style in the urban areas is very attractive to the people in the countryside. To seek more working opportunities, many people abandon the fertile lands and leave them uncultivated. If the situation continues, it will lead to serious unbalance of economic and regional development.

To sum up, only when the government renders more concerns over the issue, can the gap between the cities and the countryside be bridged. (325 words)

Introduction :(48 words) When you look back to the last century, amazingly you will find that not only all world's largest
populated cities had experienced different population growth rates, but also the difference between
the city and the countryside had grown accordingly. Two reasons of mine can examine this tendency as following.

Topic sentence 1: The glamorous¹³ city life allures¹⁴ lots of human resources to
move to/agglomerate in the city, taking major contribution to the gap. (20 words) Supporting sentences: In the city, there are many advantages to attract those talented people to settle down--more
job opportunities, cultural activities, sporting events, you name them. Therefore, even those
well-educated people who are originated from the country intend to lead a dynamic city life
instead of returning to face the static country view. If the rural government can work out some
favorable policies such as low prices of land occupied for industrial uses, with the combination
of low cost of workforce¹⁵, investors¹⁶ are willing to establish factories in the countryside. The
improvement of employment situation will enormously help pull back some intellectuals
and lessen¹⁷ the gap. (104 words)

Topic sentence 2: In the second part, I would mention the factor of transportation. (11 words) Supporting sentences: The vital resistance of economic development in the countryside is the inconvenient¹⁸ transportation. It has been witnessed in China that almost all leading cities are scattered¹⁹ along
the coastline. They take advantages of sea, air and other sophisticated transport facilities to
enjoy high economic growth rates. I suggest that the central government should fund on
infrastructure for the whole nation, including rural areas, to build up a nationwide transport
network. Consequently tourism as well as housing in the countryside will be boosted, and the
difference between the city and the country would be minimized. (94 words)

conclusion (48 words)
To sum up, intelligent resources would determine who is the winner or loser of the intense
competition; moreover, transit²⁰ systems also play an important role in developing economy. If
both issues were tackled properly in the countryside, gap between the city and the country
would never be overwhelming.
