Band 4+: In many countries small shops and towns centers are going out of business, because people tend to drive to the large out-of-town stores. This results in an increase in car use and it also means that people without cars have limited access to out-of-town stores. Do you think advantages of such development outweigh its disadvantages?

In many countries, stores are being built out of town, so poeple now have to drive there by car this may increase the number of cars. This essey will discuss both adventage and disadvantages befor giving my own opinion that drawbacks can not outweight the advantages.

There are several disadvantages of this phenomenon. Firstly, the huge increase of cars. This might cause a lot of road problems such as, car crashes and traffic jam. For example, poeple may crash cars to get to store so others will suffer from traffic jams. Secondly, if poeple stop going stores even on foot, they might become addicted to cars because they do not have the health to go to far stores. As a result, poeple’s heallth might get worse.

However,there are still great adventages of this change. the stores are out of town, the more the public places are safer, like schools. Because there is a lot of poeple, so if there are less cars and car acidents the roads of the town bacome safer. For instance, children from school should cross the street, it would be more likely to be safer to them if there were less cars. As a result, it would decrease the number of crowd places.

The higher the number of cars climb, the more car businesses make great profit. If the more vehicles are bought the more it benefits businesses and they would make other businesses, like stores. As a result, the government is also likely to have benefits from this change.

To conclude, even if there are are good sides of the change, but i would prefer it not to be used because of its several drawbacks like increasing number of cars and car accidents.
