One possible version:
    Recently we’ve had a heated discussion on whether it’s acceptable to start a supermarket in the dormitory.
    Some students are in favour of this idea, saying that it’s convenient for students’ daily life. Meanwhile, it can help reduce financial burdens. Most important of all, these students can develop a sense of survival.
    Other students, on the other hand, are against doing so. In their opinion, it disturbs the students in and around the dormitory. Besides, it may have a negative effect on their own study.
    As far as I’m concerned, they can stick to their choice so long as they obey the school rules and concentrate their attention on study.
