Having a shopping center built in the neighborhood would also mean more jobs for the community. Initially, these fobs ivoukl be in the building of the center. Later the jobs would be in the stores, theaters, and food establishments.
Of course, there would be some disadvantages, too. Probably the biggest problem would be traffic. A lot off people would be coming to the shopping center. They'd drive through our neighborhood to get to the center. In addition, if there wasn't enough parking at the center, they might look for parking spaces near our homes.
A. shopping center might also invite more crime into our neighborhood. Parking lots after dark are a big temptation to robbers. Phey know people are there with money to spend. The shopping center might also become a place where unruly teenagers would gather. This could cause trouble. Our town would need a community center for them to go to instead.
On the whole, though, I think my neighborhood should support having a shopping center built here. It would bring more variety to our shopping, give us the opportunity to amuse ourselves at movie theaters- and restaurants, and bring more jobs into the area.

It has recently been announced that a new movie theater may be buiit in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
Some people will say that a new movie theater in our neighborhood would be a bad thing. Hoivever, I fully support the plan to build one. I feel that a movie theater would bring more ojfx>iiiimtiesfor recreation, reduce teenage delinquency, and lead to several improvements in the town.
As it stands, there is little to do in my toivn. Ihere are nojjarks here, and there is certainly no nightlife. Additionally: the nearest movie theater is more than thirty minutes away. That is inconvenient for everyone here. Many movies end late at night. Vi'-'ho wants a long drive home at LP30p.m. or midnight!'
Building a new movie theater here will reduce juvenile delinquency. Like eveiyone else, teems here are bored. They need activities to keep them busy and out of trouble. The fobs that the theatre willporovide will help teens, too. We need more businesses that are willing and eager to employ young pecple..
Overall the new theater will, bring many improvements to the town. For example, it will help other businesses. That is because the movie theater will attract customers from neighboring towns, 'those neighbors do not have a reason to come to this town now. However if they are corning here for a movie, they will be more likely to stay here to shop. If we get more visitors, we'll need better roads. While this may be costly, it will also make travel easier for people living here. We will he able to get around/aster. Safety will he improved with the new roads, because they will he in better condition than many that we have now.
I believe that our town needs a new movie theater. Again, I support it fully../ bojx that others in our community will join me to convince residtmts and local government,
