The houses in Newton Road are small,but people are very happy there.Then a civil engineer wants to knikck down the houses and build a new road.The people of Newton Road get very angry.They The people in Newton do a lot of actions to win the battle.

This suggests an usual but serious problem between the people and the goverment or the engineer.I think that it is important to deeply consider its advantages and disadvantages when they construct buildings or build road.Both of them have many opinions about construction.I can't decide which side I place nyself.It depends.The most important thing about this problem is that everyone understands about the solution,I think.
