A new movie theater will be built in Oakdale. Some people express(表达）their opinions.

The children of Oakdale don't need to spend more time watching movies. What they need is a new park where they can breathe fresh air and take exercise! I suggest we should build a park instead of a movie theater on Park Street.
John Brown
I disagree on building a new movie theater on Park Street. Park Street is the town's oldest street and has many beautiful buildings with a history of over 100 years. It is the place of the first house built in Oakdale and the town hall. The new movie theater will harm the beauty of the old street!
Darren King
We don't need a movie theater. If a movie theater is built on Park Street, the traffic will be much heavier and it will be dangerous to cross the street. It is totally unfair(不公平的）to people who live in the neighborhood!
Alice Green
Most people have told me they want a movie theater. It will provide jobs and amusement(娱乐）for the people of this town. I think we should provide them with what they want.
