在空旷的地方种树雅思作文 Many people suggest that there should be more trees rather than houses in the open areas of cities and towns. While this suggestion is reasonable in many cases, it is not so in others. For a city or town which has already had sufficient supply of housing, planting trees in the open areas is certainly a good idea. With green trees covering the streets, the city look much more beautiful. That is why I prefer living in southern cities where green trees are everywhere even in winter to living in northern cities. At the same time, more trees make the city air cleaner, because as we all know, trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which is beneficial to the health of the city dwellers. Statistics show that people living in a tree-covered city enjoy much higher life expectancy than those living within the concrete walls of tall buildings. Yet, it would be stupid to ask people to plant trees in a city or town where they can not find enough houses to live in. Planting trees is undoubtedly more environmentally friendly, but getting a shelter to keep off rain and wind is always the top concern for all people. 30 years ago, in many cities and towns in China, for example, numerous houses were built as the urbanisation attracted a large number of people into the city. People did not focus on planting trees back then, not that they did not understand the importance of a healthy environment, but that they found they should put survival at the top of their agenda. There is no definite answer, therefore, to the question whether we should plant trees or build houses in the open areas of a city, because the answer is dependent on how developed the city is. In a highly developed city, planting trees is always a better choice, yet in a less developed city, houses are more needed than trees. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/728eafe5270c844769eae009581b6bd97e19bc73.html
