问题     In many cities, planners have separated schools, homes, shops and offices into specific areas which are widely separated from each other. Do you think the advantages of this policy outweigh the disadvantages for city residents?
选项
答案     In this essay, I will look at whether situating schools, homes, shops and offices far away from each other in cities is advantageous or not.
    One reason that city planners locate these places away from each other is to create zones which are residential, for business and for industry. To a certain extent, I think this is a good idea. For example, most people would prefer not to live near an industrial area. Also, having shops located in a particular area (e.g. the centre of a town) has the advantage of allowing people to go to several of them at one time. However, there may be situations where this is not such a good idea. For example, most people would probably like to be relatively near to schools—especially primary schools—so that their children do not face long journeys. In addition, having shops near one’s home is very useful if you suddenly need an item such as bread or milk.
    Another reason for locating these places far away from each other is so that particular areas (e.g. town centres) do not become overcrowded and have traffic jams during rush hours. Solving this problem is not as easy as positioning shops, offices and homes far from each other. People often do not like to travel far to work. Moreover, if big employers are located near to each other, this is likely to result in traffic jams as people go to and from work.
    Overall, I think that such a policy’s disadvantages outweigh the advantages. If people have most of the facilities they need nearby, it is likely to make an area more desirable to live in and reduce the amount of time people spend travelling.
