Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing on behalf of the school student council to request the construction of a new multi‑purpose sports facility for our community. Currently, our residents lack adequate space for organized sports, which limits opportunities for physical activity and community cohesion.
Firstly, a modern facility would provide a safe environment for youth to engage in team sports, reducing the risk of anti‑social behaviour. Secondly, it would serve as a venue for local events, fostering economic activity and social interaction.
We respectfully ask the council to allocate funds and approve the project at the earliest possible date.
Thank you for considering this important initiative.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
Student Council Representative

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing on behalf of the student council to ask for a new community centre. Our neighbourhood needs a place for meetings and events, but I have not included any specific arguments about sports or youth safety.
Please consider this request.
Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to request the construction of a new multi‑purpose sports facility for our community. While I mention that it would provide a venue for local events, I only give one argument - that it would look modern - and I do not address youth safety or community cohesion.
We hope you will approve the project.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
