Band 7+: 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 would like to share my opinion on whether it would be more beneficial to sponsor two open-air musical events or to support a children’s sports team for two years.

Two years of financial support for local children’s football club would be a huge financial support, as the club mainly relies on donations. The money would be spent on new football equipment, and the coach could focus effectively on training the kids. In addition, this financial support would help them in upcoming tournaments.

On the other hand, sponsoring concerts would also provide benefits. Local singers would perform on these musical events, also, these events would attract many people and local vendors would sell their products to the audience at these musical events. Therefore, the whole community would benefit from these two concerts.

In my view, the company should spend its money on supporting the local football club for 24 months. This would boost their confidence and skills, providing them with long-term opportunities.

Kind regards,

Yours faithfully,

Muhammad Hassan
