托福写作范文:
New factories often bring many good things to a community, such as
jobs and increased prosperity. However, in my opinion, the benefits of
having a factory are outweighed by the risks. That is why I oppose the
plan to build a factory near my community.
I believe that this city would be harmed by a large factory. In
particular, a factory would destroy the quality of the air and water in
town. Factories bring smog and pollution. In the long run, the
environment will be hurt and people's health will be affected. Having a
factory is not worth that rise.
Of course, more jobs will be created by the factory. Our population
will grow. To accommodate more workers, more homes and stores will be
needed. Do we really want this much growth, so fast? If our town is
going in growth, I would prefer slow growth with good planning. I don't
want to see rows of cheaply constructed townhouses. Our quality of life
must be considered.
I believe that this growth will change our city too much. I love my
hometown because it is a safe, small town. It is also easy to travel
here. If we must expand to hold new citizens, the small-town feel will
be gone. I mould miss that greatly.
A factory would be helpful in some ways. However, I feel that the
dangers are greater than the benefits. I cannot support a plan to build a
factory here, and hope that others feel the same way.
