Practice 5. Read the letter and complete the table with the good and bad changes.

I have lived in this city for twenty years, and there have been many changes, but some of them have benefited the city. For example, there used to be a busy pedestrian area. There is now a horribly unattractive shopping mall instead. Another change is the food trucks. I know they sell some unhealthy food, but there used to be a lot of expensive cafés. It was impossible to go out to eat without spending a lot of money.The city thought they were doing something good when they made the bike lanes. But it’s more difficult to cross the road because you have to be careful of the bikes as well as the cars.A lot of people love the new walking trail. It means that people can explore nature, even in the city. But everyone walks their dogs there. It’s not at all relaxing.Finally, there’s the playground. This is very big, and it was very expensive to make. But it’s great that children have somewhere to play now. Before, they played in the streets and it was very dangerous.
