Band 9: You have just read an article in an international travel magazine which contained some information about your town that is incorrect. Write a letter to the editor of the magazine. In your letter: • correct the information in the article • explain why it is important for the magazine to give correct information • suggest what the magazine should do about this situation

Dear Sir or Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in regard to the recent article published in your international travel magazine about my town. I was concerned to notice a few inaccuracies in the information provided.

Firstly, the article stated that our town has only one historical monument, which is incorrect. In fact, we have three well-preserved heritage sites, including a 19th-century railway station and an ancient temple that attracts many visitors each year. Secondly, the publisher mentioned that public transport here is limited and unreliable. On the contrary, our town has an efficient bus service and a newly introduced metro service.

It is essential for your magazine to provide appropriate information because many travellers rely on it to plan their trips. Incorrect details may discourage potential visitors or create misunderstandings, which may affect the town’s reputation and local businesses.

I kindly request that you publish a correction in your next issue and update the online version of the article to reflect accurate facts. This would help to maintain your magazine’s credibility and ensure readers receive appropriate guidance.

I hope my request would be taken into consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Smith
