It has recently been announced that a large shopping center may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Shopping centers are very important part for the business and the economy. They provide many work spaces but I think that I will not support building a new shopping center in my neighborhood because of several reasons.

First I think that this will disturb the peace and quiet in my district. For building such a center are needed many trucks and baggers. These big machines make noise and cause several problems. For example there is a new shopping center which is being built at the moment near my house. The workers and the machines work during the whole day so they do not stop even when people want to rest between 2 and 4 o`clock. This is really embarrassing and many of my neighbors are disaffected.

Second important disadvantage connected with this project is related to the cleanness.While building such a big center there is many garbage. Of course the company which is responsible for this garbage does her job well. But there are many small plastic bags or packages which are spread all over my district. This is really bad for the young children or babies and also in this way the reputation of my district became lower.

In conclusion I think that there are both many advantages and disadvantages connected with these shopping centers but I definitely do not support building one near my neighborhood.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Playing a game is fun only when you win. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Games are very important part from our live. While playing them we learn many new things and make new friends. I think that winning a game is not so important part of it. So I disagree with the statement because of several reasons.

Of course while playing a game we strive to be on the first place. So in this way we proof our skills. But also we can evolve ourselves by learning from our mistakes. By losing a game we can estimate where we went wrong and by not repeating this mistake we can proof our skills. For example during a football season, one team could lose several matches. But this is not so important, because in this way the coach understand which are the poor sides of the team, so he could concentrates on them.

Another reason for not agreeing with this statement is connected with the competitiveness. One of the main purposes of playing a game is having fun. But if the players are too competitive there could be some problems. The willingness for win is very important for wining a game but if it is too strong it cause many troubles. This is the main reason for fights between players and teams. They concentrate only on wining the game so they forget why do they play it. For example we have seen many fights on football matches and they definitely are the bad side of this game.

In conclusion I think that it is more important to have fun while playing a game than wining it on any price.
