You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

You normally go shopping in the area where you live. However, you think some of the facilities for shoppers could be improved there.

Write a letter to your local newspaper. In your letter:

  •  say in general what you like about shopping in your area
  •  say what is wrong with the facilities
  •  suggest how they can be improved

Write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Sir or Madam,


Sample Answer

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your newspaper has a reputation for discussing different issues, related to the development works and improvements in our town. And I sure hope that you would take notice of this particular issue as well and publish it in your newspaper in order to attract the attention of the authority.

The issue is related to the improvement of shopping facilities in the Ferguson area where I like to visit and do shopping. Of course, I do not really have much to complain about the shops in my area since most of them are generally offer affordable prices and carry quality products. I also like the fact that most of these shops are easily accessible from all directions.

However, when it comes to keeping the parking spaces in front of the shops clean and tidy, as well as offering some extra sitting arrangement or resting places for the tired and elderly shoppers, the shops in my area certainly could use some improvements.

Therefore, I suggest that the shops employ enough staff to keep the parking spaces clean while providing some comfortable sitting arrangements also for the elderly shoppers to rest. I hope you will publish an editorial in your newspaper regarding this.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Lydia Olivia
