objective
You have noticed that the school playground is often left littered after the end of the day, causing inconvenience and a poor impression for visitors. Write a formal letter to the headteacher recommending practical steps the school could take to improve the cleanliness of the playground. Your letter should be about 150‑200 words and should include a clear introduction, at least two specific suggestions, and a concluding statement.
Answer Options
A.
Hey Headteacher,
The playground is a mess after school. We need to start fining any student caught littering and make them clean the whole area every day. That will stop the problem.

Correct Answer
B.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to draw your attention to the increasing litter on the school playground after classes end. This not only creates an untidy appearance but also poses a safety risk.
I would like to suggest two practical measures. First, a daily cleaning rota involving a small group of senior students could ensure the area is cleared each afternoon. Second, installing additional waste bins at the four corners of the playground, together with clear signage encouraging proper disposal, would reduce littering.
I hope these ideas will be considered and I am happy to help implement them.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam,
The playground often ends the day covered in rubbish, which looks untidy. I think we should put up more posters reminding pupils to pick up after themselves. This single step should be enough to solve the issue.

D.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inform you about the litter problem on the school playground. To address this, I propose hiring a professional cleaning service to come in twice a week. This would keep the area tidy without involving students.
I hope you will consider this suggestion.
Yours faithfully,
