The following article recently appeared in your local newspaper:

BIG DISCOUNT. Local council members are considering allowing a store, Big Discount, to move into the community. This large discount retail chain would build a massive new structure in your areaa. The store would hire hundreds of local workers and provide lower prices than most of the locally owned stores in town. Residents cannot agree on whether the store should be permitted. 'It will brings jobs to this area, and people will not have to go far to do their shopping,' says one resident. Another resident disagrees. 'It will put local stores out of business,' he argues.

Write a letter to the local council members arguing for or against the building of Big Discount in your area. Support your argument and defend it against the arguments the opposing side might make.
