Band 6+: 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 or Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention regarding a cycle of possible detrimental effects the colosure of current sports and leisure centre can provide.

The centre offers unique opportunities not only for me and my friends but also for the whole community to engage in a wide range of engaging activities, greatly contributing to individuals enhance their vital skills, such as communication, confidence and self-esteem. Moreover, for me and my friends, the centre acts as a safe space to share our struggles and emotions together, which we find it to be worthwhile.

As I said, existing such places play a crucial role in people’s lives. This is because they presents a broad spectrum of unique services, which guide them to a healthy lifestyle and personal and professional growth. For instance, sport amenities encourage people to participate in physical activities, helping their immune system become more powerful.

I believe that a lack of these setting brings harmful consequences for the society, including serious health problems like depression, poor communication skills and a strong sense of confusing.

Thank you for considering this pressing matter. I look forward to positive initiatives from you.

Yours faithfully,

Mohammadreza Hadavi
