雅思口语素材:将来想生活的城市

下面是关于这个话题可以延伸出来的思维图

Well, I would definitely choose Lhasa, which is located in the middle part of Tibet, nearly 4000 kilometers from my hometown.

I got to know this city from a travel show on TV when I was probably 7 or 8 years old. It has been the provincial capital of Tibet Autonomous Region for more than 1,300 years, and it is the political, cultural, economic, and religious center of Tibet as well as a sacred place of Tibetan Buddhi*.

It is known to all that Lhasa is renowned for its spectacular landscapes and historical sites and cultural relics, so it has captivated countless visitors from all over the world for decades.

As for why I’d like to live there, well, there are a lot of culturally significant Tibetan Buddhist sites such as the Potala Palace, which is a place I’ve been dreaming of for a long time, and I’m really curious how it became a divine place for Tibetan Buddhi*. Another reason is that the air quality in Lhasa is much better than most cities in China, so *og condition will be my least concern. You know what, I would be able to see the crystal-clear sky in the daytime and the shinning stars at night if I lived in Lhasa. On top of it, I’m a fanatic of natural scenery. I mean, I can see different wild animals, limpid water and the unbroken mountain ranges. It is in Lhasa that I can fully enjoy those eye-catching landscapes. I gotta say that Lhasa is one of my favorite places I’ve ever been, a real feast for the eyes. Of course, the cost of living is one of my considerations. I’m fed up with the high cost of living in big cities, and I really can’t stand the fast pace of my current lifestyle. So I’m really looking forward to living there in the near future, for the sake my health and longevity.
