Carbondale is a small town in Southern Illinois. It’s a quiet place for people to live. Big cities have a lot of noise, and people who drive cars are very rude. But here, the first rule is different than other places; nobody honks, so it feels quiet. And I love this rule very much. The next rule is people more friendly than in a big city. Because it is too small, you may see each other a lot of times per day. So the second rule is you must be friendlier to other people. People in big cities must work and work; they need more money to pay for their daily lives. But Carbondale is different; here it is the South, so it costs less than in big cities. So most people feel leisurely and carefree. That it is because they do not care how much money they can make; they just think now I already have enough money for me. So I think these are Carbondale rules. But I love these rules.

Carbondale vs. My hometown
Carbondale is in southern Illinois; it is traditional countryside. Or we can say it is looks like a small town and has fewer people. But my hometown looks more like a big city and has a lot of people. So the population is different, and one is like countryside and the other one more looks like a big city like St.Louis. My hometown has a lot of factories and business. But here there is almost nothing there are, only a few small businesses. That’s why my hometown is more like big city that is developing very quickly. My hometown, Wuxi, is a very big city; driving a car from one side to another side requires a long time, but in Carbondale you just need like 10 minutes; it is very small and small. But the big city has a lot of problems like pollution and too many people; Carbondale is quieter than my hometown. But every city has its difference. I like both of them.

Carbondale being my home
Carbondale is a quiet place for people to live and study. Because this is a traditional southern place, there are fewer people here; there is a university, and there are no or few factories, so this place has no environment problem. But making this my home will cause other problems. This town is too small, so finding a good job for a family is very difficult; fewer people live here, so you have a small market and here there is only a university, so the education is not good for children; parents want their children to be able to have the best education, so they need to go to a big city to have education for their children’s future. And if you want to go to a big city to buy something, you need drive for a long time to get there and almost the whole day is gone, so Carbondale is too small for me to live, I want to stay here just for study, and after that I will go to a big city for my future and family.

Carbondale
Carbondale is a small town in Southern Illinois. It looks like countryside, not like a city. SO it can be more fun to drive a car in and around Carbondale. When you drive your car, open the window and let fresh air come into your car; nice wind makes you feel great. In my hometown it is a big city; it looks like St.louis. So do you thinkdriving a car is good or bad? A lot of people and cars sometimes have traffic problem. SO it is not very fun. But in my city we have a big lake. But when you arrive there you will find it is very beautiful. It looks like Carbondale; the wind from lake is so nice. My hometown and Carbondale are different, my hometown has a lot of lakes and rivers, so driving a car is like driving a boat, and here it looks like countryside; it has a lot of farmers. Soif you drive a car, you will find a lot of differences, but both of them are fun.
