托福范文：不愣住在统一其中央
【题目】
Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
【范文】 Staying in One Place
It is often said that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Perhaps this is why some people frequently move around, looking for better jobs, houses, and so on. No doubt it is possible to make some advances in this way, but I believe that staying in one place and putting down roots in a community also has many advantages. That is why I would prefer to spend my life in one place rather than constantly move around in search of a new home.One advantage of spending a lifetime in the same community is that people can put down roots and enjoy long relationships with their friends and neighbors. As these relationships mature, the neighbors will come to trust and depend on each other more. In such a community, one never needs to worry when in trouble; someone is bound to give a hand. Another advantage is that people who live their lives in the same community care more about the neighborhood and work hard to improve it. This creates a nicer place for everyone to live. Finally, while we should never stop trying to improve ourselves, it is sometimes better to appreciate the advantages we already have than constantly seek more. A person who is always seeking will never be content.In brief, I would prefer to have a permanent home in one community rather than constantly uproot myself and my family in search of something better. I believe that when we care about the place where we live we can always find a way to improve it and ourselves. In the future I will remember to appreciate the grass on my side of the fence.【参考译文】不愣住在统一其中央人们常说，邻家芳草绿，隔岸风景好。大概这便是有些人会常常到处搬家，探求更好的义务或住所等的缘故原因。如许做无疑年夜概会有所改进，但我以为，待在一其中央、在某个社区落地生根也有良多利益。这便是为什么我宁肯一辈子住在统一其中央，而不愿赓续地搬来搬往探求新家的缘故原因。
一辈子住在统一个社区的一个利益是可以落地生根，享有和冤家、邻居之间耐久的干系。当这些干系成熟时，邻居之间会更加互相信任、相互拜托。在如许一个社区中，有困难时也不用担心，因为一定有人会宁愿答应伸出救济之手。另一个利益是，永久栖身在统一个社区中，我们会更关怀住家附近的情况，并勉力加以改进，如许便能发明更好的栖身情况。末了，固然我们应该不断地勉力自我改进，但偶尔候，浏览我们自己已经有的利益赛过赓续地追求更多利益。一个不断在跟随的人是永久不会满意的。
简言之，我宁肯在一个社区里建立永久的家，而不愿为了追求更好的中央，带着自己和家人赓续地搬家。我相信，当我们关怀自己栖身的中央时，我们总能找到改进住家和自己的体例。将来我会记得浏览自己家里的草。
