Writing Exercise Task 2

Question:
In some countries, small town-centre shops are out of business because people are driving to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limit access to shops, so more and more people buy cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this development outweigh the advantages?

Answer:
Small town-centre shops in some countries are closed since people prefer to visit bigger store in out-of-town by driving. It gives a condition for people who do not have private car difficult going to shops. The consequncy is the purchasing of cars will increase. By the situation, there are some disadvantages and advantages for people who live in town and who live in out-of-town.

The disadvantages of the situation are firstly, many people in town will spend more money because they have to take a trip to out-of town. Secondly, the more people use car, the more air pollution created in the air. The third one is the situation will make the center of town become quiet and it can increase the criminalism because of not so many people walk around the town-center for just sight-seeing or greet each other. The last one, out-of-town will become more crowded and not enjoy to be live in.

Meanwhile, in my opinion, the advantages by this development are just two. Firstly, people in town-centre will get refreshed because they make trip to the out-of-town. Secondly, the shop in out-of-town will rise the purchasing of their materials. It also will happen to the car seller because many people will buy cars. It gives advantages just in personally.

In conclusion, by the opinions stated above, I think the disadvantages are bigger than the advantages when people always go out-of-town to shops.
