Topic 1: The street where you live is in poor condition. Write a letter to City Council. In your letter, you

· Explain the situation

· Explain the likely consequence

· Describe the change you expect to occur

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter concerning the decline in standards on the highway and byway at our street, Green Avenue, Peterson. I have been living here for over 10 years and was always proud of the way our townlooked, but the current state of disrepair and neglect is disappointing.

The footpath is now badly in need of repair and it is totally overgrown with weeds — let alone all the accumulated rubbish. It is a major hazard to children and to the elderly who could easily have a serious accident. We now have an additional problem with wet leaves decaying in huge heaps along the paths. These could also cause an accident especially now that we have had so much rain in the last few days. I am wondering what your council intends to do to rectify this situation. I look forward to receiving your reply by return.

Yours faithfully...
