Outline some of the problems that might be faced by someone migrating to an urban area from a rual area in your country and suggest how those ptoblems might be alleviated

nowaday, there are a lot of people from the rural migrating to the urban area in my country they always think the urban is a good place to live and their life wil be comfortable if they live in the city. but in fact. they have to face the difficuld problems.
the first problem is job. the city is always a big centre about culture, finance, ect..it gather up many companies, hospitals, restaurants... they need thousands of workers and certainly they have high qulification. But all peole migrating from the countryside can’t work in the place, they don’t have ability and knowledge to do the jobs. They have to do the frail jobs to have money The second problem is house. with low salary, and a frail job,they arenot able to have a houes for themselves. so they have to rent other. But the hire is increaseing and the price is higher and higher make them more and more difficult. and the third is life of the city. There everything is fast. The students hurry to go to school on time. People go to work hurry to go to company on time. All have to their works... But for the people migratting., they couldnot do this because of the life in the rural place.
To increase the migratter we have the solutions to help them. We have to supply the house for them who have low salary and help them have jobs in their countriside.
If their life is fine perharp they will never leave their village.

Topic 1 : people attend college or university for many reason (for examples , new experiences , career preparation , increased knowledge) Why do you think people attend college or university ? ....
Nowaday , there are many reasons for each of people to study in college or university .Of course , different people have different reason to study in it .In my opinion , studing in the college is always a preparation for their future’s life. Acording to me , the important reasons involve in :
First of all , College is a place that the students can learn more new knowledge and experience for the reason that they want to go on a further study after they graduate from college .In college ,there are many good lectures , professiors who help students very much .They have scholarly knowledge , practicality and teaching experience .So they teach students lots of thing and help they solve the problems in their study .With their help , student can learn a lot of useful fundermental and professional knowledge , which is obliging for their furture’s work .After finishing their study in college , they can work and contribute to the different fields in the society .Therefor, students can find a good job and change their present situation .And they can achieve success with their knowledge.
Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their time reasonably . When they become students and study in college , they have to arrange their life and study by themselves .It is their right . They have right to make plans for their part time , such as when they study , when they play sports , when to finish the assignment ...This is the important experience for their work and life in the future .
Studing in college is the oppotunies to live and contact with other student and thus they can learn how to cooperate and how to work together . Certainly , there are differences in opinion, hobby between students , especially cultural distinctions between oversea students . Initially , they can feel uncomfortably . But for the long time , it is good for them . They have to cooperate with each other and they will face and solve lots of problem together . Gradually , I think they can learn how to care and understand other people . This is the essential preparation for students ‘s life and work in the society .
All of it , in college and real life , students always have to try learning new knowledge and necessary experience for them . As far as I’m concerned styding in college is not only important for my furture , but It is also my pleasure when I was a kid .
