In some countries, small town-centre shops are going out of business because people tend to drive to large out-of-town stores. As a result, people without cars have limited access to out-of town stores, and it may result in an increase in the use of cars. Do you think the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantages? Plan 1. Introduction: small town-centre shops closed because people are tend to large out-of-town stores. not convenient for people who do not have cars. YES the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantages 2. Benefit of large out-of town stores.better after-sales service / clear refund policybetter quality than small shopfamous brand / good reputationthousand of kinds of items3. Benefit of small town-centre shopseasy to access / elder citizens / no car peoplecheaper priceemergency usedaily grocery / fresh vegetables /4. Conclusion: both have benefits, but the disadvantages of this change outweigh its advantagesPeople have different views about whether the tread that now people are tend to visit out-of-town stores instead of small town-centre shop is positive or negative. While big shopping centres have commercial values to governments and local residents, I believe that small town-centre shops are more essential to our life. On the one hand, a big out-of-town chain retailing enterprise can provide better after-sales; for example, they have clear refund policies, which means you can easily get your refund if you are unsatisfied with the item you purchased. Also, the qualities are generally better than small shops, so you can use them for much longer time. Besides that, there are many famous brands usually will be located in out-of-town shopping mall, for example, Nike, New Balance, Tasco, Adidas, and Guuci etc, most of them have good reputations. Most importantly, there are thousands of different kinds of goods, which means you can find whatever you want there. On the other hand, small town-cnetre shopps are highly convenient for the local neighbourhood or communities; they are easy to access and especially for people who do not have cars, they can just walk to the shop. Also, the prices are normally lower than in big shopping centers, also, for daily groceries, small shops have fresh vegetables and meat for people to purchase. what is more important is that small town-centre shops are helpful in emergency cases. For example, you find out that you are already out of salt when you are cooking, at this time, a small short-distance town-centre shop can help you; otherwise, you must start your car engine, and drive 30 minutes or longer to buy a bottle of salt. In conclusion, the downsides are definitely outwigh the upsides of this change.
