题目：A new university in your community

正文：The government has announced that it plans to build a new university. Some people think that your community would be a good place to locate the university. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of establishing a new university in your community. Use specific details in your discussion.

My community is located in a quiet and small town with very beautiful natural sceneries. The environment is very suitable for a new university. Everyone in my community would without doubt enjoy a sense of pride when informed that a new university will be built here. However, just as any other constructions, this action will bring many advantages as well as disadvantages to my community.

The most essential and exciting advantage is that a new university will definitely enhance the education on all levels in my community. Usually, children living nearby a university would frequently visit or play in the university, and thus they can be unconsciously influenced by the academic environment. This influence might be more effective to them than any preach from their parents about the importance of studying. By building a new university, children in my community will develop a greater motivation for studying hard. Moreover, with a university located nearby, all the primary schools, middle schools will have a greater sense of competition. The teachers may encourage the students to work harder to get a university degree, since it would be very embarrassing that the students of their own community could not be admitted by the new university.

Besides, a new university in my community will boom the local economy. As we all know, universities are always surrounded by a wide range of stores, restaurants and markets which provide services to the students and faculty. Thus it is very likely that the new university will encourage the local residents to offer their services around the school. As a result, more people will be employed and the employment rate which bothers the government for years might eventually drop.

However, with closer examination, the disadvantages of building a new university in my community could also be formidable. Since my community is far from the city, most of its residents are seniors. Even for the younger people living here, they prefer a quiet environment and are afraid of any major changes made to their lives. Therefore, the attention brought by a new university might be unbearable to these local people. To be specific, traffic will no doubt increase in the near future. With more cars and people on the roads, it is possible that the local environmental quality will decrease. If the air is no more clean, our community might lose its strongest attraction. Then current residents might feel quite reluctant to live here in the future.

In sum, the advantages of building a new university in my community seems very promising, yet we have to consider the undesirable consequences it might bring about. The government should really be cautious and take all the possible factors into consideration before making such a decision.'
