5. Compare the advantages of having a big wedding and a small wedding.
Okay. Small weddings are more intimate
（＝
private)
．
I think that the most obvious
advantage to having a small ceremony is that the bride and the groom get to talk
to everyone, and this will create a very special atmosphere, and enforce the bonds
（＝
relationships) between everyone. On the other hand, a big wedding will be more impressive
and striking. It also comes with the added benefit that no one will feel left out from this
special occasion, and the atmosphere could quite possibly be more exciting. However, as
with anything, benefits do not come for free. Organizing a big event always costs a lot of
money.

6. Are there any disadvantages of being part of a community?
Yes, while there are many perks, there are also some disadvantages to being part of
a community. For example, your neighbors might know your schedule, and they will judge
you if you come home very late, or if you go out at night without your wife (or husband)
：
people gossip
．
In addition, being a member of a group also comes with its share of
obligations
：
you might need to take part in some activities that you would actually rather
avoid. You might need to attend some meetings or some boring get-togethers for example,
as well as take responsibility for organizing different events for the community. As with anything,
benefits do not come for free.
7. What are the advantages and disadvantages of working as a journalist?
There are both distinct advantages and disadvantages to working as a journalist.
First of all, the job is fascinating, because journalists have to meet many people and travel
to many different places in order to find out what’s happening on the field. In addition,
journalists or reporters can get invited to many significant events
．
For example, when a new
movie comes out, or when someone gives an important speech, journalists will usually get
a free pass to get in. But on the flip side, being a journalist also comes with its share of
disadvantages. The work is tiring and stressful. They must meet deadlines, frequently
write at night, and sometimes they must cover stories they might not be so interested
in.
