A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near our community. To be frank, I have mixed emotions about this.

            Obviously, there are some advantages to having such a factory nearby. For example, it can provide more job opportunities and many people may work in the factory. What is more, it also gives a good chance for the development of other business in our community such as shops, theatres and restaurants. Furthermore, the products the factory manufactures will improve our quality of living.

            On the other hand, there are some disadvantages to building a factory here. First, it will disturb the quiescence of our community. Once the factory is set up, a lot of people will rush into our community to work, and the road will get crowded. To transfer the raw materials the factory needs, there will be many trucks coming and going through the streets, and the noise will disturb residents and it is unsafe for our children who always play freely in the streets before.

            Second, the factory will produce many waste products each day, and there will be much wastewater coming out of the factory and it will pollute our rivers. We do not want to have to see hundreds and thousands of tons of waste piled near our houses, and we do not want to see our nearby rivers turning into black dishes either.

            After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, I decided to oppose to set up such a factory near our community because we need quiet surrounding, blue sky and clean rivers.
