Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing

this

Linking Words

letter to express my dissatisfaction with the building of a new shopping centre in the suburban area where I live. My name is Talat Halimov, and I live in Radiator Springs. During our annual community get-together, I observed the news about

this

plan, and many opinions have been put forward by the society.

However

Linking Words

, most of them were against

this

Linking Words

due to

Linking Words

its location.

This

Linking Words

is because the proposed location is often used as a playground by children.

Although

Linking Words

the land belongs to the council, numerous public events are held in

this

Linking Words

location, gathering both youngsters and adults, including musical performances and neighbourhood meetings.

Hence

Linking Words

, if we lost

this

Linking Words

space, the people would become helpless and deprived of an area to be socialized.

Therefore

Linking Words

, as soon as I heard the news, I felt angry and so sad about my community. There is not necessarily a requirement for a shopping complex in our area as there are many purchasing opportunities. At the same time, I would like to ask for an update on the request to turn

this

Linking Words

land into a playground, which has been pending for a long time. Is

this

Linking Words

proposal going to be converted into a shopping mall? Not a dire need of people. I believe the council would take sufficient actions to make it not become a controversial issue. I hope

this

Linking Words

information proves to be beneficial for the acknowledgement of local people’s opinions. Yours faithfully, Talat Halimov.

Some people believe that nowdays we have too many choices. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
The answer is complex since there are a lot of choices in our life and all of them are different kinds. In some cases, I would say that it is a good thing to have the ability to choose from a wide variety. Take for example gastronomy. Every single person has different meals on their list of favorites. Actually, if you have a bigger family, it is almost impossible to cook something that everyone would like. Therefore, I would say that is great that you can go to a shopping centre and choose from a dozen different food types. I can always find something that looks delicious.

some people say it's a waste of time to plan for the future .We should live in the present.To what extent do you agree or disagree
Nowadays, more and more people prefer to live in the present and have started to forget about planning for their future. In my opinion, I totally disagree with the definition of a waste of time planning for the future. Moreover, proper future planning has several benefits such as success in one career, increased motivation in individuals as well as increased quality of life.
