Prompt
Your city has money for one improvement. Option A: build a new public playground. Option B: add more bus shelters. Choose one option and explain your reasons.
Model answer
I believe the city should add more bus shelters because this improvement would help a larger number of residents every day. First, many people rely on public transportation to get to work, school, and medical appointments. In bad weather, waiting without shelter is uncomfortable and sometimes unsafe, especially for seniors, children, and people with health problems. Covered shelters would make public transit more practical throughout the year. Second, better bus stops may encourage more people to use transit instead of driving. This could reduce traffic and parking pressure in busy areas. Although a playground would be useful for families, bus shelters would support students, workers, seniors, and visitors across the whole city. For these reasons, I think bus shelters are the better choice.
