Question :

Officials in your city have an empty space and are planning to build a zoo for

recreational purposes. Some residents think that the place might be used for something

more complex like a shopping mall or a movie theater.

Write about 150-200 words defending one of the two options provided below. You

should say why you support the topic and how it would help the residents around you.

What problems are there with the other choice?

Option A: The town’s municipality should build a zoo.

Option B: The town‘s municipality should build something more complex.

Sample answer : 

I vehemently reckon the town’s municipality should build shopping mall or a movie theatre as it has paramount significance to the community it belongs to. Although zoo holds constructive ripples in terms of educational resource, conservation for endangered animals, economic resource yet    the multi pronged advantages of multiplex is unsurpassable. 

First and foremost, not only leisure needs are manifested in the desire for a shopping experience ,but also watching movies in multiplexes, lounging and eating out. Secondly, if a businessman set up a store in a shopping mall, retail store owners can rent shop space which would be rewarding for both the businessman and the customers on an unprecedented scale. 

Thirdly, unlike zoological garden which exploits animals, need proper funding to meet the needs of animal population, even experts find themselves in dangerous circumstances with predatory animals, mall management organises promotional activities like events, contests, star visits, premiers and customer loyalty programs. As a result, young crowd witnessed hanging out in malls/ shopping centres as a everyday habit. 

Considering these reasons, I strongly believe to have complex building as it will promote an exponential increase in demand and supply to the town which will improve tourism. Again, these are my personal beliefs, but I will support whatever state authorities decide to do. 

Thank you for having the opportunity to participate in this survey.
