Original:

The letter proposes that the university should build a new parking lot in the center field for two reasons. First of all, it hasn't been used for sports two years ago. Furthermore, there is extra need for students who live in the dorm or off the campus to build more parking lots. The woman disagrees with this idea for two reasons. First of all, the center field is keeping utilized for relaxation and study outside, and it is a pity to build a parking lot there because there are few places on the campus like center field. Furthermore, she doubts the need to build an extra parking lot because the parking lot near the dorm is never full. Even for the students who need to commute, they can park their car in the parking lot which is close to the classroom building and far away from the center field. So that is mainly two reasons she doubts the idea.

Revised:

I believe that modern technology has made people's lives simpler. One example is the ease of communication through smartphones and the internet. People can now instantly connect with friends, family, and colleagues from all around the world, making it easier to maintain relationships and collaborate on projects. Additionally, technology has simplified daily tasks such as shopping and banking. Online shopping allows people to purchase items from the comfort of their homes, while online banking enables them to manage their finances without visiting a physical branch. These advancements have undoubtedly made our lives more convenient and efficient.
