Question 22

You read in a local newspaper that the town council plans to cut down the trees beside the river to build a car park. Write a letter (about 100 to 120 words) to the editor expressing your views on the plan.
[8 marks] (a)Write your letter.
Show answerHide answer
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing in response to your article about the council's plan to cut down the trees by the river to build a car park.
I strongly disagree with this plan. First of all, the trees give shade and clean air to everyone who walks along the river. In addition, birds and other animals live there, and without the trees the bank may be washed away when it floods.
Surely a better place can be found. For example, the council could use the empty land behind the market.
In conclusion, we must not destroy our green space for a few more parking places.
Yours faithfully,
Aina Sofea
