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.
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.
新工厂经常给一个社区带来很多好东西，比如工作和繁荣。然而，在我看来，拥有一家工厂的好处被风险所抵消。这就是为什么我反对在我的社区附近建一个工厂的计划。
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.
我相信这个城市会受到一个大工厂的伤害。尤其是，工厂会破坏城市的空气和水的质量。工厂带来烟雾和污染。从长远来看，环境会受到损害，人们的健康也会受到影响。拥有一家工厂不值得这么做。
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.
当然，工厂将创造更多的就业机会。我们的人口将会增长。为了容纳更多的工人，需要更多的房屋和商店。我们真的想要这么快的增长吗？如果我们的城镇要发展，我宁愿发展缓慢，有好的规划。我不想看到一排排廉价建造的联排别墅。必须考虑我们的生活质量。
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.
我相信这一增长会对我们的城市带来太大的改变。我爱我的家乡，因为它是一个安全的小镇。在这里旅行也很容易。如果我们必须扩大规模，接纳新市民，小镇的感觉就会消失。“我真的很怀念这件事。”
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.
工厂在某些方面会有帮助的。然而，我觉得危险大于好处。我不能支持在这里建工厂的计划，希望其他人也有同样的感受
