You have heard that the local authority is planning to build a shopping mall in the centre of your town. You do not agree with this decision because there are already a lot of shops. Write a letter to the planning department. In your letter -say why you are writing -give reasons for your objections -explain what you think would be a better alternative

Dear Sir, I am Ozan Akbulut, I am one of the citizens of the
town
. I am writing about which is planning to build a shopping mall in the centre of our
town
. As a family, we are worried about
this
. Because, already our
town
has a lot of shops but
on the other hand
, there are very few playgrounds for children. That's why
,

we think that our
town
doesn't need another marketing place.
Moreover
, our
town
's population is not high,
therefore
we believe that our
town
needs playgrounds more than a shopping centre. I have been living in
this
town
for twenty years.
Therefore
, I want to give some suggestions to you which are related to children's happiness. If you build a mall outside the
town
centre it would be better. I know
that is
important to provide a job for people. Many people can benefit from
this
mall. Absolutely we support you about build a marketing place outside of the
town
.
