SCRAP
Dear Sir / Madam,
I would suggest that your company should tell your drivers to clear up all the trash on the ground before leaving .
I am writing to you about the short stop of your trucks around my house on their way to the north.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing good response from your company.
When the trucks of your company have a short break on the streets around my house, the drivers have left lots of garbage on the ground after their refreshment. When the trucks leave the place, the ground is covered with trash and a few minutes later there is smell and flies.
Yours faithfully
Tran Vu Nhat

Are there any lakes behind your house?
What do people do in the lake?
Which problems remain… ?
These days , many people begin to catch fish in the lake behind your house. What makes you worried most is they use electricity to catch fish. A lot of fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds also died from electric shock waves. You think that local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone catching fish in this way .

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the problem of fish
catching in the lake behind my house……..
Now write a complaint letter, begin with

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the problem of fish catching
in the lake behind my house.
I am very worried because they don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. After a short time they leave the lake, a lot of small fish die and float on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds have also died from electric shock waves.
I would suggest the local authorities should prohibit and find heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I am looking forward to hearing from you and seeing the actions taken to protect the environment from the local authority.
Sincerely.

* True or False ?

1. They use fish rod to catch fish.
2. No fish die after a short time people who
use electricity to catch fish leave the lake.
3. Birds have also die from electric shock
waves.

These days, some of your neighbors often throw trash into the lake behind your house, so the water is polluted and that make the fish die. Write a letter to the head of the local authorities to complain about this problem.
