Band 5+: You have just read an article in a national newspaper which claims that town centres in your country all look very similar to each other. You don't fully agree with this opinion. Write a letter to the editor of the newspaper. In your letter • say which points in the article you agree with • explain ways in which your town centre is different from most other town centres • offer to give a guided tour of your town to the writer of the article

Dear Sir,

I am writing this letter to bring your attention to the article printed on 12th April 2024 on the second page of your newspaper titled as ‘Town centres- the beauty of United States’.

There is no denying the fact that most of the city centres across United States are equipped with basic amenities such as gymnastics, yoga, and Zumba classes. These also have specific coaches for each class along with specific equipment required. Also, many of them are in perfect location for people to reach easily. This allows people to use public transport over personal vehicles. Finally, there is no fees for any of these city centres as they are subsidized by the government. All of these points mentioned in the article are agreeable.

However, most of the town centres in the Northern part of the country focus on conducting activities for elderly people, neither mid-aged nor the youngsters are involved in. For example, the recent exhibition in Mexico specifically mentioned the participation by elderly only. On contrast, the other parts of the state allow everyone to be a participant. Moreover, the covered area that these town centres are granted in the former parts of the nation are more than the later. These factors differentiate the town centres across the nation.

As I am living in Mexico for more than 20 years and being a tour guide, I want to offer you a tour across my area if you would have some time in the upcoming weeks. It might allow you to differentiate the town centres.

Waiting for a favourable reply.

Yours sincerely,

Ash
