The two maps illustrate the
way of access to a city
hospital in 2007 and 2010.
Overall, despite the
renovations which
included the additions and
relocation of some
facilities, the shape and
location of the hospital
remained unchanged.
In 2007, there was only
one car park which is used
by both the staff and
public being placed
alongside the Hospital
Road. But after 3 years,
the original car park next
to the road had been used
by staff only while another
bigger rectangular public
car park is built to the right
of Ring Road. Both the
two car parks are connected to the City Hospital for convenience. After the renovation,
there were also two additional roundabouts at the ends of Hospital Road, one connected
to the Hospital and the other was in the intersection with City Road. A new bus station
had also been built which was connected to the two new roundabouts.

adaption ability
It is inevitable that living in a foreign country would cause several problems in people’s
daily life. Some people think these issues will affect our life negatively both socially and
practically while others believe this is not the case. In my opinion, although there are
certain drawbacks to living in another country, it is undeniable that these difficulties are
only short-term and there are also many accompanying benefits.
There are some disadvantages of living abroad which will affect people’s lives
negatively. Firstly, due to the unfamiliar language, many people will feel a language
barrier between themselves and foreign people around them. Thus causing them to feel
confused and depressed over time if the problems are not solved correctly. Additionally,
when living in a foreign country, many people will also suffer from differences in culture
and tradition. This issue will greatly affect their work, studies and daily life which is
caused by the unfamiliarity in a new country; especially for people with low adaptation
ability, which might even lead to stress and anxiety over time. Therefore, living abroad
might cause some disadvantages to certain people.
On the other hand, many benefits can also be obtained by living in another country. First
of all, migrating to another country is a good opportunity for us to have better living
conditions as well as more chances in life. Thus, many people are willing to sacrifice
many things and suffer some problems in order to create a better future for themselves.
Moreover, for the majority of people who decide to live in another country; they usually
have a good adaptation ability and mental preparation so both social and practical
problems are just equivalent to a small test to them. Last but not least, we can also earn
new skills while solving the problems that occurred during our stay abroad. Many of
those qualifications will benefit us a lot in life such as adaption, patience, strong will, etc.
Therefore, the problems caused by staying abroad are not serious in many cases of
migrated people.
In conclusion, although it is undeniable that some problems will occur during people’s
stay in a different country, many of them are not serious and won’t cause many effects on
the majority of migration people. Therefore, I disagree that many serious problems
including both social and practical are caused to people who live abroad.
