Exercise 8 page 149 from Complete Advanced Student’s Book
Task: It has recently been announced that your area will receive funding for a range
of new sports and fitness facilities for young people. Your council is inviting
residents from the area to write letters suggesting how the funds should best be
spent. Your letter should explain:
- why this funding is to be welcomed
- what facilities should be provided
- how the new facilities will make a difference to young people in the area
Write your letter.
Dear Mr Parker,
I am writing this letter on behalf of the residents of the area in reference to the funds
received by the government.
Recently there have been many complaints by young people for two reasons: firstly,
as there is not a gym nearby, they are forced to move on more distant areas of the
city; secondly, there is a significant lack of sports facilities (e.g., only a tiny swimming
pool is present). For these two reasons the funding is absolutely welcomed in open
arms.
As to what action can be taken, or suggestion is that the funding should be invested
in building a new gym because in the area there is a large space which has remained
empty since 1990. The residents are also considering a possible extension of the
swimming pool with the purpose of attracting new customers from other areas of
the city.
I strongly believe that this plan would improve significantly the reputation of our
area because, if we compare it with other zones of the city, we are more
disadvantaged regarding the sport fitness facilities. All we want is to satisfy the
young people's needs.
We trust that you will reflect on our ideas and it would grateful if you could look into
making the improvements we have suggested as soon as possible.
Yours faithfully,
Ale
