<b>Stating a Preference 25</b>

<i><b>It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be </b></i>
<i><b>built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? </b></i>
<i><b>Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.</b></i>

<i>There would be both advantages and disadvantages to having a </i>
<i>shopping center built in my neighborhood. Overall, however, I think the </i>
<i>advantages are greater. One important advantage would be convenience. In</i>
<i>addition, a shopping center would give neighborhood residents more </i>

<i>choices for shopping and entertainment and it would bring jobs to the area, </i>
<i>too.</i>

<i>It would be very convenient to have a shopping center in the </i>

<i>neighborhood. Shopping would be easier and faster because I wouldn’t have</i>
<i>to drive great distances to get to the stores. Also, all the stores would be </i>
<i>together, so I would only have to go to one place.</i>

<i>A shopping center would mean more choices. There would be more </i>
<i>stores selling different products. There would probably also be restaurants </i>
<i>and food courts, so we would have a greater variety of places to eat. The </i>
<i>shopping center might have a movie theater, too.</i>

<i>Having a shopping center built in the neighborhood would also mean </i>
<i>more jobs for the community. Initially, these jobs would be in the building of</i>
<i>the center. Later, the jobs would be in the stores, theaters, and food </i>

<i>establishments.</i>

<i>I can see some disadvantages to building a shopping center here. On </i>
<i>the whole, though, I think my neighborhood should support having a </i>

<i>shopping center here. It would be a big convenience, it would give us variety</i>
<i>in our shopping and entertainment, and it would create jobs for area </i>

<i>residents.</i>
