GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
An old car was left on the street near your apartment block several weeks ago. You telephoned the local Council to get them to take it away, but nothing has been done about it. The car is now causing a problem for residents. Write a letter to the Council. In your letter
• describe the car
• outline the problems it is causing
• tell the Council what you want them to do about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir,
I am writing to express my concern about a blue Nissan Micra that has been abandoned in Parker Street. Several weeks ago I telephoned your department to notify you of this problem, but nobody has visited our neighbourhood or offered to remove the car.
As there are several apartment blocks in this area finding parking spaces for all the residents can be difficult, and this extra car does not help our situation. Furthermore, it has been noted that some young people have started stealing various parts from the vehicle, and in the process a passenger window has been broken. This adds to the problem as the broken glass is dangerous for the children who live and play in this area.
I hope that following this letter you will either notify the police about this situation, or organise for someone to come and remove the car. Thank you in advance with regard to this matter, and I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Yours faithfully,
ABC
