Essay topic:
#5 A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
I have been living in a peaceful and quiet town for about 10 years. All people who live there are so kind, and the landscape is so beautiful that I love the town very much. Recently I heard news that a company will set up a new factory near my community. I was shocked and I hold a negative opinion about this decision.
The main reason why I oppose this plan is that establishing a new factory will cause environmental pollution. Take air pollution for example, as we know, a factory will give off a lot of waste gases which are harmful to people's health. Even though the factory will take measurements to purify the air, it can not make the air as clean as before. It is no doubt that people's health will be affected by the gases emitted from the factory. A factory also pollute rivers and streams. Our water will be too dirty to drink. Then environment will be damaged and people's health will be affected by the factory.
Another reason is that a factory makes too much noise. My community is always a quiet place and that is just what I like the most. A factory will cause the town to become too noisy. For example, every morning, we will be awoken from our dreams by the noise of buses which take workers to the factory. The noise of engines will also give bad influence to our temper, and may make us susceptible to anger, and easily lose our temper.
Furthermore, a strong reason to oppose this idea is that building a factory will destroy the landscape of this town. Most people living in this town make their living by cultivating and harvesting crops. The factory is inappropriate with the landscape of the town and it will occupy the land that is used for farming. It is a pleasant place now. It is safe and quiet. If a large factory is built there, our town will change a lot due to it.
Of course, building a factory also has advantages to some extent. For example, a factory will bring growth to the town. It will bring more working opportunities for local people, and also it will help to develop the local economy. But comparing with the disadvantages, I strongly oppose the idea to build a factory near my community.
