Main body (Grodno – a “Slow city”, pros and cons)
Conclusion (A “Slow city” – it is a chance to make the quality of life better)
Plan

The aim of “Slow cities” is to make our towns places where people enjoy living and working, and where they value and protect the things that make the town different. Towns, which want to become a “Slow city” have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions.
Introduction

Pros / cons

FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS
I’m for banning fast food restaurants, because people, who eat this food are very fat and sick. When fast food restaurants are banned, people will get thin and will be healthier.

SMALL FAMILY RESTAURANTS
I’m for promoting small family restaurants, because food in them is healthy and tasty. I think that it will be a good idea and people will like these restaurants.

PEDESTRIAN ZONES
I’m for creating more pedestrian zones. I think, that it’s really a good idea, because there are a lot of children who play in the yard and they often run across the street

SPEED LIMIT
I don’t think it would be a good idea to reduce the speed limit in the town to 30 km/h, because all people hurry to work in the morning and hurry back home in the evening and they’ve got used to this lifestyle. Moreover, reducing speed limit to 30 km/h will lead to the fact that there will be more and more traffic jams, exhaust fumes, and nervous drivers.

GREEN AREAS AND TREES
I’m for creating more green areas and planting more trees. I think it will be a good idea, because the air in the town isn’t healthy and it is dirty. When there are more green areas and trees the air in the town will be cleaner and healthier.

COMPUTER CLUBS
I’m for banning computer clubs, because children who play the computer games became more stupid and depended. I think that this idea will be supported by adults.

CIGARETTE BOOTHS
I’m for banning cigarette booths, because cigarettes are very dangerous for people’s lungs and liver.
