space,place,room的用法區別
三者均可表示“空地，空間”，區別如下：

[room].

是可數名詞。

(2)place表示“空地，地方”，其含義通常比較具體，且往往指座位，有時
與seat同義。如：

我們要設法弄到大廳前面的座位。
There are only two places(=seats)left for tonight.

Many young people want to leave the countryside because they want to find jobs in the city. |
This is big proble for the countryside and city.More and more young people crowd into cities,so there are few people working in the countryside. Meanwhile,there are so many people in the cities that some may not find a job. |
