Though I conclude that building a large factory near my community is excellent, it is better to discuss possible advantages and disadvantages of whether building a large factory near my community or not. I will discuss about my position as follows.

First, the advantage of building a large factory near my community is to vitalize my community. After a large factory starts, the company which operates the factory needs a lot of workers of producing new products and hires many people near my community. It decreases the unemployment rate near my community and increase expenditure for goods per capita. Thus shops and restaurants near the factory get larger profit than before and the local economy is getting better.

On the other hand, the disadvantage of building a large factory near my community is to pollute environment near the factory. For example, if a chemical factory is build, it pours out toxic particles into the air. These particles affect not only our health but also our future posterity because these particles sink into the ground and exist for a long time. After many years, our children suffer from polluted ground and getting sick.

Considering these factors, I still think that building a large factory near my community is a better way than the other. This is because it gives us another advantage. It gives our community more revenue than before. People pay tax to local government. If the number of people increases, the revenue also accrues. Thus our community can get more budgets from local government and it can do some plans which improver our community’s situation. For example, if the community has enough money, they can install some devices which purify air pollution from the factory, such as air cleaner and toxic absorber. Therefore air pollution from the factory would be solved. The better environment is, the more people come to live in our community. It is a positive circulation. For all reasons, I mention that building a large factory is more attractive for me than the other.

それぞれの段落に含んでいる内容そのものは、加点要因で、なかなか展開していますが、言っ文法・構文のミスや、明確に意味が伝わらない表現がところどころにあり、言語運用上の減点を発生させているとともに、スムーズな展開を妨げています。全体的な評価としては、スコア3∔~4の範囲でしょう。洗練された語彙や表現は増えていますが、言語上のミスで相殺されているところもあります。さらに効果的な助動詞の使い分けも、添削で確認学習しておいて下さい。フォーマットをもっと使ってみると楽に文法や構文のミスを解消できます。
