A new shopping mall is opening in Nam’s neighborhood today. It is

very different from the present shopping area. All the shops are under
one roof. That will be very convenient, especially during the hot and
humid summer months. Customers will shop in comfort and won’t
notice the weather.
Some people in the neighborhood, however, are not happy about
the changes. The owners of the small stores on Tran Phu Street think
the mall will take their business. Some of the goods in the new stores
will be the same as the ones in the small shops, but the stores in the
mall will offer a wider selection of products, some at cheaper prices.
The residents and store owners have been concerned about the new
mall for a few months. They have organized a community meeting in
order to discuss the situation.
