　　「范文」 A New High School in the Community

　　Education is a top priority¹ for every society， and the better the educational facilities are， the more likely it is that students will succeed. Their success will in turn be of benefit to the society as a whole. Because I support investment in education， I would welcome a new high school in my community. Furthermore， I believe a high school would benefit the community in the following ways.

　　First， the students who live in my community would no longer have to travel very far to attend school. This would save them a great deal of time， which they could then spend studying， relaxing， or helping² their families. Second， with a redistribution of students between the school they used to go to and the new high school， both schools would be less crowded. This would enable students to receive more personal attention and a higher quality of education. Third， a high school can offer many advantages to the community as a whole. Residents may use some of its facilities， such as the sports ground， or attend concerts and other events in the auditorium³.

　　In conclusion， I believe that a new high school would benefit any community. It would help not only the students and their families， but also other residents of the neighborhood. Therefore， I would wholeheartedly support the building of a new high school in my neighborhood.
