Undoubtedly, people nowadays undergo a great deal of pressure that comes from various directions, including work, school, and so forth. Pressure is detrimental rather than instrumental and has been one of the biggest enemies .It hurts our health, personality, and relationship with others. Statistical report from a research institute proved that it is hard to find an ailment that cannot trace in some way to pressure. To keep healthy and work efficiently, an increasing proportion of people pursue all kinds of ways to escape pressure, including taking a short or long vacation, having a party with friends at weekend, or traveling to other countries. What’s more, television and music also help relax us. Therefore, escaping pressure is the foremost reason why we are living longer now.Happiness & Emotion 幸福&情感Passion, interest, sentiment, affection, friendship, fondness, dislikes personal preference锻炼Secondly, exercise is also instrumental to our health and leads to our longer lives. Nowadays, you can see people here and there, in the morning or at evening, on the weekdays or weekend. You also can find the gym is filled with a vast majority of citizens every day. Tests have shown that a 15-minute exercise is more beneficial than most medicines on the market. Individuals have come to realize the importance of exercise. For instance, when I was a student in the university, I used to run every morning and play tennis after class. As a proverb says, “wealth is nothing without health”. A good health promises a bright future. Hence, exercise is the second important reason why we are living longer.Health & Safety 健康和安全physical condition，Keep fit，diet，energetic，vigorous，relax，relieve, refresh，sporting/fitness activity，do morning/eye exercise，property，possession，belongings科技Thirdly, on no account can we live longer without the development of technology. Actually, fewer and fewer people die unnecessarily and wastefully from diseases, hunger, and floods because technology makes it possible for us to cope with these disasters. To illustrate this, there is an appropriate example. State-of-art medical technology and well-developed medical network brings us more efficient and effective medical treatment. In our society, if you feel uncomfortable, you just need call 120 and the ambulance will arrive at you in no more than five minutes. So, the most striking conclusion is obvious that we live longer thanks to development of technology.Technology & Education 科教science and technology: TV, man-made satellite, robot, refrigerator (ice-box), microwave oven, cell phone, computer, internet, accumulation of knowledge, efficiency交通First and foremost, living in my city, one must confront traffic congestion. Whenever you look, it is people, people, and people. The trains that arrive and leave every several minutes are packed: an endless procession of human sardine tins. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move on the pavements. It takes ages for a bus to reach you because the traffic on the roads virtually comes to a standstill. Even when a bus does at last arrive, it is so full that it is impossible to take more passengers. Undoubtedly, anyone will not like the traffic in my town.Convenience 方便/便利高物价Furthermore, it is hard to find a place with such a higher living cost than my town. The demand for accommodation is so huge that it is impossible for ordinary people to buy a house of their own. Under most occasions, one must pay exorbitant rents for tiny room, which even a country hen distains to live in. In addition, just everything you buy is likely more expensive than it would be in the country. Hence, living in my town, one must tolerate the high living cost.Economy 经济economic economical economics fund capital invest investment employ，save, thrifty, tourism, employment, employment rate, unemployment, profession, vocation, career, occupation, profit, tax, ware-fare,就业However, living in my town also has its own benefit, namely more job opportunities. There is no denying that large cities provide more job opportunities than small towns. In small towns, due to few job vacancies, the vast majority of people have to spend all their time and energy in anever-ending struggle for the food and shelter they need. They have no choice but to work long hours for little pay. Heavy workloads result in serious physical ailments. On the contrary, if you live in my city, you have a wide assortment of choices in hunting a job, and you can select some well-known employers, such as IBM or Microsoft. With little competitive pressure, those who move from small town may, for the first time, begin to think that life is something more than agrim struggle for survival. They may have time to sing, to dance, or to exercise. In a word, living in my city promises more job opportunities, less pressure of competition, and therefore, greater pleasure.As we all know, overpopulation makes the earning of a living intolerably difficult. Because labors are more abundant than job opportunities, a fair proportion of people are unemployed. Even though some are employed, they have no alternative but to work long hours for little pay and hence suffer a myriad of serious ailments due to heavy workload. If a new movie theater is built in our neighborhood, a great wealth of people can work there. They can sell tickets, clean the lounge, or even manage the whole operation of the theater. With more people employed, the crime rate will decrease and the security of our community will be improved.Success 成功win the competition (fierce, heated, bloody, brutal) victory, triumph, maximize the value/worth of one’s life, sense of honor/responsibility, wealth, confidence, motivation, pressure, stress, stressful互相帮助The first plain truth, I am presenting here, is that studying with a group of students will help students to achieve their goals easily. However competent you are, however experienced, you must have something unknown. The strength of an individual is limited, while that of a group is boundless. A chance conversation between two students may enlighten each other. Take me as an example, once I was not at home in physics at college. But we studied in a group ,about 10 people, and some classmates borrowed their notes to me and helped me to solve some difficult problems. Afterward, I passed all the exams of physics courses. One classmate, a smart girl, however,failed in the final exam because she studied by her own and no one helped solve her puzzles. Obviously, studying with a group of students is instrumental in achieving our goals.学习社交技能Last but not least, studying with a group of students has other merits. For example, studying with a group of students will teach you how to get along with other students, how to communicate with your partners, and how to negotiate with others. These social skills are necessary to make a living in society.Communication 交流interaction, social, make friend with, group activities: parties, BBQ, masquerade ball, friends, colleagues, co-workers，Communicative Time/Content/Techniques/ Custom, habit人口过剩In addition, overpopulation also harms our Earth. The more people compete for the limited resources in the Earth, the more unfavorable the Earth is for a living . For example, in Beijing, the vast majority of people compete for the limited job positions and therefore they have no alternative but to work long hours for little pay. The demand for accommodation is so huge that citizens have to pay exorbitant rents for a tiny house that even a country hen distains to live in. In addition, too many people live in this big city, the food, water, electricity are correspondinglyscarce. Every year, short of hospitals, medicine, and foods, a fair proportion of people die unnecessarily and wastefully. Obviously, we has to devote ourselves to an endless struggle with the Earth for survival and definitely such a grim struggle will harm our common garden, the Earth.环境污染Last but not least, environment pollution also damages the Earth. Without the consciousness of environment protection, many factories dump wasteful water into the river, let off waste gas to the air. Due to the environment pollution, many animals and plants die out. The earth is on the verge of disappearing.Environmental Protection 环保Ecological balance, balance of nature, harmony between people and nature desertification, deforest, sand storm, smog, drought, flood, El Nino, pollution, contamination, radiation( TV set, Microwave, handset...) acid rain( harm to construction, water, earth, plant), Ozone layer, utter violate ray。
