The police would think that these measures can help them cut crime. Local residents

30、may feel happy about the first two plans. Parents may hold the same opinions as the local residents about the first three plans, but they may also warmly welcome the last plan. Teenagers will certainly hate the last plan, I guess, though they may not care about the other three. Listening編輯pptSharing
