Argue/Persuade/Advise-Task1

As we live in a new era we notice the natural urge for change. But what we don't tend to think about is if we really want to get rid of our traditional towns?

In the old traditional Britain we had cobbled streets, horse drawn carriages and locally owned stores from butchers to shoemakers. Now, as technology has evolved, we have become unsatisfied with what we have and created a modern Britain. This has allowed us to trade in our traditions by adding components like tar maced roads, frequently running public buses and large franchises from fast food stores to the largest grocery stores all at our door steps. This has transformed our town and allowed us to forget about the finer things we had enjoyed in the past which our council are eagerly wishing we forget.

For as long as i could remember our peaceful town has been a place where we could relax and be at ease. We walk down the street without worries and fear because we are aware of all our neighbours and passers by. But if the council go ahead with this proposal we shall soon have need for concern. Danger will surround our children not to mention the sly thieves that the new shoppers will be attracting.

In our town their are family owned businesses that have been around for many decades. These stores have steadily structured the financial part of our community so we naturally trust them with our money. They also allow us to enjoy spending our money with pleasant smiles from the cashiers, well mannered glances and polite greetings. These make us feel comfortable and secure so that we are able to become their loyal customers . This change we could be facing will cause these family businesses to face extinction as all the larger companies consume land all over our country and persuade us that it's a good idea by shining their golden prices in our faces.

In conclusion I strongly believe that we have to fight for our local businesses. This is our town, our money and our businesses. If we allow the council to take this much away from us who knows what else they may decide to change. It's up to our community to chose to change!
