  There are many differences between the living conditions of people in the Los Angeles area and those of Topeka, Kansas. For example, the Los Angeles area offers many places to go and see, but in Topeka the places are limited. Places such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm or even the mountains and ocean, which are common to Los Angeles, provide the area with entertainment (娱乐,文艺节目), for example. Another major contrast (对照) between the two geographic (地理的) areas is in the field of job opportunities. Los Angeles has many industries, which in turn create (创造,产生) job opportunities, but in the Topeka area there are only a few industries and thus few job opportunities. Also, the people working at their jobs in Topeka stay with the same job for many years because of the limited opportunity (机会) for advancement. By contrast, the job advancement opportunity in the Los Angeles area is much better because there are more jobs to begin with and, therefore, people will change jobs more freely.
  An equally important contrast is the variation (变化,变异) of shopping places. In Los Angeles anyone can shop around for the best deal before making a major purchase (购买,购买的物品), such as a new car; in Topeka there are few shopping places, especially shopping centres and car dealers. Thus people in Topeka do not have the choice in the first place, nor can they make the deals that the people in Los Angeles can.
  On the whole the Los Angeles area has many advantages over the entire Topeka, Kansas area.
