many of them have closed .

Although

I think that

this

tendency has some obvious advantages , I strongly believe that the disadvantages of

this

trend can outweigh its advantages. On the one hand , there are some reasons that are why the majority of customers prefer to shop from the market and large

Firstly

the probability to find the adequate articles for them is higher than small stores .

Secondly

, customers benefit from a large choice of facilities in malls and

they can do more activities than shopping .

For example

On the other hand

Linking Words

, there are several obvious negative consequences of

this

Linking Words

tendency that cannot be ignored .

First

Linking Words

of all ,

this

development will increase the level of unemployment in society because those sellers who work in small local stores will become unemployed if their shops have been closed .

In addition

Linking Words

,

this

trend will discourage local manufacturing and favour the import of international brands ,

as a result

Linking Words

, the local economy will be affected negatively and will show a decline in terms of production .

Finally

,

this

tendency encourages people to spend more of their money on articles do not need and

then

waste their money which should be invested in meaningful things . In conclusion , despite the big market and large

can provide diverse benefits to customers, I believe that it is not a positive development and the drawbacks that bring exceed their benefits .
