范文:Recently the local government has decided to broaden some narrow roads to build BRT, which has caused a heated discussion among the local people.
Some agree that we should carry out the construction project because it can solve some traffic problems and make our life convenient and comfortable. Besides, it helps promote the economy and improve people’s living environment as well as the image of Shantou as a modern tourist city in the southeast of Guangdong province.
But others believe that the construction work may cause air pollution and traffic jams may appear now and then. What’s worse, the people who are against the construction think that the noise produced by the work will disturb people’s peaceful life.
二.读写任务
Like the author, I can’t agree more that listening is a very important way to help others. In my opinion, when people have something unhappy in mind, they will feel more comfortable if they can talk with others. So if we can listen to them, their feelings may become better.
If I have a friend who faces problems in life and needs to talk with me, I will try to be a good listener for him. Because being a friend, I think I should do my best to help him out and listening is the best way at this time. After listening, I will comfort him, try to find out what problems he has and give him some advice to solve them.
