Semester check 2: Units 6–10 Writing, exercise 1: for a sample letter, see Writing coach, p. 90/91 Writing, exercise 2: sample answer To: topgroceries@superbusiness.co.uk From: j.cole@mymail.co.uk Subject: plastic packaging Dear Ms Thatcher, I spoke to you on March 12th this year about the excessive amount of plastic you had been using to package the products in your shop. You agreed that it was a problem and promised to reduce your plastic use. I regret to say that when I visited your shop yesterday, the situation had not improved at all. Apart from being a drain on our scarce resources, plastic is extremely damaging to our environment. It is damaging to our oceans and their life, it is damaging to our countryside, and most of all it is damaging to us. Plastic particles can be found in all of our cells. This is why this subject is so important. I would greatly appreciate it if you would now do as you promised back in March. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, I will have no option but to tell the local press of your broken promises and lack of action. I trust it will not come to that.
