A New High School in the Community
Education is a top priority for every society, and the better the educational facilities are, the more likely it is that students will succeed. Their success will in turn be of benefit to the society as a whole. Because I support investment in education, I would welcome a new high school in my community. Furthermore, I believe a high school would benefit the community in the following ways.
First, the students who live in my community would no longer have to travel very far to attend school. This would save them a great deal of time, which they could then spend studying, relaxing, or helping their families. Second, with a redistribution of students between the school they used to go to and the new high school, both schools would be less crowded. This would enable students to receive more personal attention and a higher quality of education. Third, a high school can offer many advantages to the community as a whole. Residents may use some of its facilities, such as the sports ground, or attend concerts and other events in the auditorium.
In conclusion, I believe that a new high school would benefit any community. It would help not only the students and their families, but also other residents of the neighborhood. Therefore, I would wholeheartedly support the building of a new high school in my neighborhood.
在社区里兴建新的高中
对每个社会来说,教育都是最优先考虑的事,而且教育设施越好,学生就越有可能成功,而他们的成功对社会整体而言必然是有利的。因为我支持投资教育,所以我会欢迎在我的社区内兴建新的高中。此外,我认为一所高中会在以下几个方面对社区有利。
第一,住在社区里的学生不需要再到很远的地方上学。这将会给他们节省很多时间,而他们可以用这些时间读书、放松,或给家人帮忙。第二,由于他们以前就读的学校和新学校之间的学生会重新分配,这两所学校将不再那么拥挤,这会让学生能够得到更多的个人关注和质量较高的教育。第三,整体而言,兴建一所高中可以提供给社区很多好处。居民可以使用学校的设施,如运动场,或是在礼堂参加音乐会或其他活动。
总之,我认为新的高中对任何社区都有利。它不但可以使学生及其家人获益,还可惠及邻近地区的居民。因此,我由衷地支持在我们住家附近兴建新的高中。
