Sample 1:Describe a New Development in Your City.

A shopping mall was constructed in my city in late 2022. Before the construction of this mall in my vicinity, I went shopping in a mall about 12km from my area, and I have always wished for one to be built in my vicinity or close by.

Towards the first quarter of 2022, I noticed development work commenced in my area, but I did not give it too much thought as I assumed it was a residential building that was being developed.

I had to travel out of my city for a work-related assignment around June 2022, and I was away until October. When I returned, I noticed the construction project was not a residential building but a mall. I asked around, and it was confirmed that it was a shopping mall.

Two months after my return, which is a total of eleven (11) months from when I noticed the development works, the mall was completed and opened to the public.

Sample 2:Describe a New Development in Your City.

One new development in my city is a large shopping mall near my home. It offers a broad selection of luxurious brands at different prices. There are also many cafes that serve drinks from different countries, including my favorite Japanese coffee.

It’s perfect for people who enjoy strolling and getting some cool air conditioning during the hottest days of summer. I highly recommend this mall to anyone looking for a wide variety of shopping and dining options.

I enjoy visiting it with my sisters from time to time, but recently, I have been visiting the mall with my friends because we haven’t seen each other since 2019 for such a long time.
