relax when an appropriate form of entertainment is convenient and close by. Therefore, I would support a proposal to build a new movie theater in my neighborhood.
Entertainment places can bring some disadvantages to a community such as increased traffic and noise, but I believe the advantages of a new movie theater would outweigh these concerns. For one thing, the people in my neighborhood would save time. When they wanted to see a movie they could simply walk to the new theater rather than spend time traveling by bus or car. In addition, it would be safer for children to visit a nearby movie theater rather than one in some other part of the city. And finally, a new theater might attract other businesses, such as restaurants and coffee shops, where the people of my neighborhood could go to relax.
In short, a new movie theater in the neighborhood would increase the number of entertainment options for the residents. They could enjoy themselves more easily without spending a lot of time traveling to another part of the city. For these reasons I would support the building of a movie theater in my neighborhood.
【譯文】一家新電影院
娛樂是每個人生活中一個重要的組成部分。我們全都需要時間放鬆才能過健康的生活並有效率地工作。在住家附近有合適而且方便的娛樂設施能使我們更容易放鬆心情。因此，我讚成在住家附近興建一家新電影院的提議。
娛樂場所會為社區帶來一些缺點，比如增加交通流量及噪音，但是我認為新電影院的優點多於缺點。首先，它可以節省附近居民的時間。當他們想看電影時，他們隻要走路到電影院，而不需要花時間坐公共汽車或開車去。此外，對小孩子而言，到附近的電影院比到市區其他地方的電影院安全許多。最後，一家新的影院可能會吸引其他商家前來，比如餐廳及咖啡廳，附近居民可以到這些地方輕鬆一下。
