1 Read the extract What is it about?
Malton Daily 11th May
After years of complaints from residents, the local council has finally decided to renovate the abandoned factory on Willis Lane and the large area around It. The factory needs extensive repair, but the council now hopes to turn it into something that can be enjoyed by local residents.
2 Now read Thomas’ letter. What is its purpose? Which paragraph(s) contain(s): Thomas’ suggestions & results? His opinion? His reason for writing?
3 Read again and replace the linking words in bold with alternatives from the Writing Tip.
Dear Sir/Madam,
1 I am writing in response to the article in the Malton Daily on the 11 th May about the counciltasks decision to renovate the factory on Willis Lane and the area around it.
In my opinion, this is a marvellous idea and I have some suggestions about what the council could do with the site.
2 Firstly, although it needs a lot of work, the factory would he great as a youth centre. A youth centre would provide young people with a place to get together and take part in different activities. As a result, they would be off the streets in a safe place doing something enjoyable.
3 Furthermore, the waste ground around the factory could be turned into attractive parkland. It could have trees, benches and sports facilities such as a football pitch and a basketball court. Consequently, members of the community of all ages would have somewhere pleasant to relax, play sport and come together. This would brighten up the area and contribute to a sense of community spirit.
4 All in all, I strongly agree with the decision to renovate the factory and believe that the council should turn it into a youth centre and parkland. I hope my suggestions will be taken into consideration.
Yours faithfully,
Thomas Alden
