　　A New Movie Theater

　　Entertainment is an important part of everyones life. We all need to take time to relax insgroupsto live healthy lives and do our work efficiently. It is easier to 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 busorcar. 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松才能過健康的生活并有效率地工作。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松心情。因此，我贊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于缺點。首先，它可以節省附近居民的時間。當他們想看電影時，他們只要走路到電影院，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。最后，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松一下。

　　簡言之，住家附近興建新的電影院可以增加居民娛樂上的選擇。居民可以更容易得到娛樂，而不用花很多時間前往其他地方�；�于這些理由，我贊成在我的住家附近興建電影院
