9月预测作文题：

More and more people in the city live in homes with small spaces or no outdoor areas. Do you think it is a negative or positive development?(城市里越来越多的人住在空间狭小或没有户外空间的房子里。你认为这是一个消极的还是积极的发展?)

参考范文：

It is true that increasing numbers of people now live in cities in housing which is cramped or where there is no outdoor area. While living in small flats or houses may be more affordable, I would argue that this is largely a negative development.

Smaller housing units are cheaper to rent or to buy, and therefore many urban dwellers choose to live in them as the best available option. In the developing world, the mass exodus to the cities has resulted in a high population density, and the available housing stock has been inadequate to cope with growing demands. High- rise buildings, comprising small flats, have been constructed as a response to public housing needs or as the best means for property developers to make money. Yet they are in popular demand, as many people are prepared to put up with living in a confined space or to endure squalid living conditions, because they cannot afford exorbitant rents. It is a much better alternative than living on the streets.

However, this trend in the property market has significant negative aspects. Firstly, with lack of space comes lack of privacy. Even in a developed country like the UK, many traditional houses which used to occupy the inner city areas, have now been divided into multiple occupancy, with all the inconvenience of sharing bathrooms and kitchens. Secondly, a feature of contemporary urban living is the lack of a garden, or even a yard, in which children can play or laundry can be dried. If children cannot play outside in the sunshine, then their physical development will suffer and, of course, they will be unhappy.

In conclusion, while some welcome a small living space as their only financial option, this trend must be regarded as largely negative.

参考译文：

的确，现在越来越多的人住在城市里，房子很狭窄，或者没有户外空间。虽然住在小公寓或房子里可能更实惠，但我认为这在很大程度上是一种消极的发展。

较小的住房单元租或买都更便宜，因此许多城市居民选择住在里面，作为最好的选择。在发展中世界，大量人口迁往城市导致人口密度高，现有的住房存量不足以应付日益增长的需求。由小户型组成的高层建筑，是为了满足公共住房需求，或作为房地产开发商赚钱的最佳手段而建造的。然而，由于许多人负担不起高昂的租金，他们准备忍受住在狭小的空间里或忍受肮脏的生活条件，因此，它们受到了广泛的需求。这比住在街上要好得多。

然而，这种趋势对房地产市场也有显著的负面影响。首先，空间不够，隐私也不够。即使在像英国这样的发达国家，许多曾经占据市中心地区的传统房屋现在也被分成了多人居住，共用浴室和厨房都很不方便。其次，当代城市生活的一个特点是缺乏花园，甚至没有院子，孩子们可以在里面玩耍或晒衣服。如果孩子们不能在外面的阳光下玩耍，那么他们的身体发育就会受到影响，当然，他们也会不快乐。

总之，虽然有些人欢迎小的生活空间作为他们唯一的经济选择，但这种趋势在很大程度上必须被视为负面的。
