※Best of the semester - 1 - Discussing effects - 2

  Acton, having a population of 2,500, is a small town in Midwest.  It is a safe, quiet, and clean place to live; therefore, the majority of the residents has lived there for all their lives and been familiar with each other very well.  Nevertheless, as the proverb goes, "Happy days do not last long".  Last month, Stanley Manufacturing made a critical decision to open a large factory in Acton in order to bring more and more new people to the community, but some people are worried about the negative effects the new factory will generate on the town, and I am no exception.  As far as I am concerned, it will bring terrible problems such as environment pollution, aerial pollution, and even aquatic pollution.  Those will make a great impact on the area, no matter in the dwellers' health or local environment.  Culture, of course, is also no exception, there will have been changed while various new things are brought about.  Furthermore, discipline, in my opinion, will be influenced as long as exterior things have existed.  By those token, distinctly, I am strong against the factory's establishment; therefore, if the decision could have been altered, the place will keep its wonderful and quiet life.
