A large company in your area has decided to spend a certain amount of money, either to sponsor a local children’s sports team for two years, or to pay for two open-air concerts. It has asked for feedback from the general public. Write a letter to the company. In your letter • describe the benefits of sponsoring the sports team • summarise the benefits of paying for the concerts • say how you think the company should spend the money

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my opinion on the upcoming decision that your company has to make to allocate sponsorship to children’s

team would not only provide them

support, but it would

teach them the importance of teamwork and discipline.

However

, paying for the concerts would provide a unique form of entertainment for a wider audience. There is a dearth of free options in the

community

for entertainment and bringing everyone together would create better bonds among all cultures and generations. In my view,

while

the concerts would be enjoyable for some, they would not have the same long-term benefits for the

community

as sponsoring the

sports

team. Based on

this

, I think the company should allocate the money to sponsor the local children’s

sports

team for two years. Thank you for considering my opinion. Yours faithfully, Gary Smith
