task response

Give one clear final request, such as asking the council to keep the library or find another place for the supermarket.

task response

Keep the tone polite. Change “resentment” to “concern” or “disappointment” for a more formal letter.

coherence and cohesion

Your letter has a clear order: news, problems, and why the library matters. Add simple links such as “First”, “Also”, and “Finally” to make it flow better.

Add a closing line and sign off, for example: “Yours faithfully,” followed by your name.

task response

You cover all the main parts of the letter: where you heard the news, the problems with a supermarket, and the value of the library.

Your points about traffic, parking, student books, and local history are useful and clear.

You use some linking words, such as “Moreover” and “because”, to join your ideas.
