Your government has recently announced a construction of an oil refinery in your neighborhood. How would you react to this announcement and would you approve of this decision? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

 Constructing an oil refinery in my neighborhood may have a lot of advantages even though I wouldn’t approve of this decision. However, by examining that it will remove many public places, it will disturb people with noisiness and it can pollute the environment, it is clear that I wouldn’t agree with this decision.

     To start with, if we make a plan of building an oil refinery, it will require wide areas of land to construct. At this point, many public places such as park, parking lots, or playground will be disappeared. These public places have a lot of advantages for us. For instance, children can play in playground and elderly people can rest and walk around the park. We need to know our community will be disrupted by an oil refinery.

     As to the second point, people may also have problems with noisy sound. Supposing that you are living near the factory and you are trying to sleep at night. As you know, factories are almost always operating. Since, you are near the factory, you will have hard time sleeping at night. Well, there is nothing more important than living with comfort in your life. Although it will be quite beneficial for our community itself, I think it is more important for people to live without any interruption in their life.

     The last point I want to say is that it can contaminate our environment. Our environment should be protected by our hands. If we pollute the environment, the bad consequences will after all be paid back to us. Besides, water pollution and air pollution that are the two major kinds of contamination will be very detrimental for our health. Many people are worried about their health and they eat healthy foods. However, keeping the environment clean is the most significant thing that we must do to protect our health.

     In sum, there may be some benefits that we can get from building an oil refinery. Despite that, by looking at the reasons that were covered, it will remove the public places and our community, it will have noise problems, it might pollute the environment badly, I strongly insist that I would disagree with the announcement that government will construct an oil refinery in my neighborhood.
