II Topic: Factories in residential areas produce both positive and negative effects to people’s lives Do you agree or disagree?
If a large factory is going to be built near your community, is it good or bad? It’s a quite difficult question to answer Because there are many aspects to take into your consideration - the advantages and the disadvantages Let’s talk about that.
First, a large factory, especially a large chemical factory is quite harmful to our environment when
it is built near our community It will affect our daily life a lot All the chemical factories will produce a lot
of waste and most of the wastes are harmful to the environment, including poisonous gas and liquid Some
of them cannot be entirely broken down If they are released into the air or the river, it will affect our health And also the factory may produce a lot of noise The environment we want to live in is a quiet and peaceful one, so the noise will be quite boring And yes, noise also affects our health.
Trang 5Still one thing, a factory can be very dangerous Because a fire or a explosion may break out in the factory If it’s very near our home, it’s quite dangerous.
But in other hand, a factory may be a good news to us It can provide more jobs for us, especially for the young people in our community Since the factory is near, it’s so convenient to go to work, and the factory will get more chances to our area It will help to develop our area So if the factory can bring us a lot of chances, we will agree to build one But the most important things are:
1 Build the factory in a safe distance from our community, not too near.
2 Make sure that the factory can deal with the waste properly Do not release the poisonous gas into the air, and not release the waste water into the river nearby.
3 Make sure the security guard in the factory works very well.
