Band 5+: Your local council is considering closing a sports and leisure centre that it runs, in order to save money. Write a letter to the local council. In your letter • Give details of how you and your friends or family use the centre. • Explain why the sports and leisure centre is important for the local community. • Describe the possible effects on local people if the center closes.

Dear sir,

I am writing this letter to let you know that how the closing of sports and leisure center effect our day to day life.

Me and my family members use the GYM area everyday to stay fit and healthy, as I don’t get much time during the weekdays because of my work to spend on other activities I opt to utilise my weekends to play sports with my friends. My parents also use the swimming pools during the weekends to make them feel relaxed.

I feel that sports and leisure center are important in every area to connect with the people who lives in the same society. It makes people more active and fit. More often the kids enjoy coming to play there favourite sports and have fun with friends. It also motivates each other in playing sports and developing their skills which they have interest in it.

According to me the decision of closing leisure center will effect all the society people,who comes regularly. It will effect there daily routine and also the time. Going to other leisure center is time taking process.people feel lazy to a lond distance place for fitness. More over the kids will also lose interest in sports and also connecting with people.

Yours faithfully.

Leon.
