话题分析：

本篇文章探讨生活在大城市是否有利于健康，属于观点讨论型文章。第一段开头直接点明中心思想，赞成题目中的观点，不利于健康。第二段先谈反方观点，住在大城市某种程度上对健康有好处，因为可以享受到更好的医疗条件。这样人们生病时就可以得到相对好的和及时的治疗。第三段转折，从正面论述为什么住在大城市不利于身体健康：空气污染和工作压力。这两个因素都会导致生活在城市中的人们更容易得病。

最后一段给出自己观点，赞成生活在大城市对身体健康不好，毕竟预防比治疗更重要，与其等到生病了再去治，不如远离城市，远离污染和压力，远离这些容易使人患病的因素，过更加健康的生活。

参考范文：

Nowadays, some people hold the opinion that living in metropolis is detrimental to people’s fitness and I could not agree more.

In some extent, large city dwellers may benefit from better health care. There are so many high-caliber experts in these economically advanced areas that people can have easy access to medical treatment when they fall ill. By contrast, people who are in small cities or rural areas may suffer from chronic fatigue and minor aliment due to the insufficiency of physicians and the inconvenience of transport, especially in some developing countries where most medical resources is rich in large cities but barren in other areas. In this sense, living in big cities seems to be a wise choice for the sake of health.

However, people living in large cities are more likely to suffer ill-health because of air contamination and pressure. The increasingly severe problem of air pollution makes urban residents contract respiratory disease easily, affecting the level of health in the general population. Regarding to another problem, pressure, it has an even serious impact on people’s health. To ensure an advantageous position in the face of stiff competition, numerous city residents work day, leading a hectic life. Therefore, they might feel stressed out and be easily haunted by pessimism and distress, which tend to give rise to some occupational diseases and mental sickness such as anxiety and depression.

In conclusion, while people who live in metropolis can enjoy better and timely health treatment if they fall ill, they tend to suffer from air pollution and high pressure, all of which may contribute to even bad health condition. So in this situation, I believe it is not a perfect choice. After all, prevention is more significant than the cure.
