writing a formal email

This time is Ainara and Alicia's writing the one chosen to be published here in our blog. They sent an email to the mayor telling about one of the main problems in Conil for teenagers. They used new vocabulary from the unit to describe the problem and how teenagers feel. Congratulations! We hope the mayor answers and solves this trouble!

 

Dear Mayor,

One of the problems that teenagers have is that in the town there isn't a place to dance and spend time AT night with friends.

For example, in winter we are borED because with the cold and the bad weather we don't want to stay in the street and for this reason we get sick all winter. We suggest you a place which has got GOOD music, without alcohol drinks, something to eat and games like table football. We think this place should haVE a wall to make us our graffiti because if we do it in the streets, it is juvenile delinquency.

We hope that people have a sense of belonging and don't feel left out. We can see eye to eye with this suggestion because there will be a well-being for all.

Yours faithfully,
Ainara Galindo and Alicia Garcia.
