Band 6+: 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 provide feedback on either your company should sponsor a local children’s sports team for two years, or pay for two open-air concerts. Sponsoring the sports team will enhance students with teamwork skills. Not only that but also, will increase their sense of belonging, and collaboration. These skills will prepare them for future challenges in their chosen careers.

However, paying for two open-air concerts will boost the company’s image by giving back to the society as a form of corporate social responsibility. In addition, open-air concerts will be beneficial to students by improving their mental health and reducing stress. Although concerts are an avenue to discover new talents, some students may not focus on their academics afterwards.

I would suggest that, the company should sponsor the sports team as it provides the students with different skills that are essential in today’s world, while the organization could contribute to the society in other ways.

Thank you for your time and for the opportunity given to me to provide feedback.

Yours faithfully,

Emmanuel Ogunlade.
