托福写作高分范文：社区建立新饭馆

　　I can see both advantages and disadvantages to having a new restaurant
built in our neighborhood. I'm worried about traffic and how it will affect our
neighborhood. However, I think that it will benefit local businesses and
increase appreciation for our neighborhood. Overall, I think it is a good
idea.
        　　Traffic congestion is always a concern when you build something new. Our
streets are narrow, with parking on both sides. More cars traveling through the
neighborhood could cause a lot of congesting. Traffic means parking problems,
too. Our neighborhood has very few garages attached to the houses. Most of us
depend on finding a space to park on the street. If the new restaurant is built,
we’ll be competing for those spaces with the restaurant's patrons. Plus, if the
restaurant offers wallet parking, it'll be even worse. Valet parkers work in
teams to grab every possible space available on the street.
        　　I'm also concerned about the type of patrons this new restaurant will bring
into our neighborhood. A family restaurant wouldn't be a problem. However, if
it's going have a bar and dancing, then there could be problems. The restaurant
would stay open later, and people leaving the restaurant might be drunk. Who
wouldn't worry about rowdy customers staggering around our neighborhood in the
early morning hours, looking for their cars?
        　　I have to admit, though, there are advantages to a new restaurant. Our
neighborhood could certainly use the jobs the restaurant would provide. Not only
that, the money neighborhood residents would earn there would likely be spent at
other neighborhood businesses. This would give a boost to those businesses and
make our neighborhood more prosperous.
        　　A new restaurant would also attract a lot of people to our neighborhood.
They could see what a nice area this is to live. That might attract new
residents to the neighborhood. That would be a good thing, because we've been
losing residents to the suburbs the last couple of years.
        　　There are a lot of details to consider, but all in all, I support the idea
of this new restaurant in our neighborhood.
