Стр.60 Рабочая тетрадь Модуль 6 ГДЗ Starlight Баранова 7 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Баранова, Дули, Копылова 7 класс, Просвещение: 6h
Writing (a letter to the editor making suggestions and giving your opinion)
1 Read the letter and put the paragraphs in the correct order. What is the writer’s reason for writing?
Dear Sir/Madam,
A In summary, I am totally in favour of tackling the traffic congestion problem in our town with practical solutions. I really hope that the city council will take my suggestions into consideration.
B I am writing in response to the article that I read about the terrible traffic congestion in the city centre, I strongly agree with doing something to improve this situation. In my opinion, there are a number of solutions to the problem.
C In addition, I would suggest introducing a bicycle rental system together with the construction of new bicycle lanes. Residents would be able to pick up a bike at various stations for a small fee, ride the bike around town, and then drop it off at another station near their destination. This way, many people would be happy to leave their cars at home as cycling is fun, cheap, and keeps you fit, too.
D First of all, I suggest that a congestion charge should be introduced that drivers have to pay before they can drive around town. Consequently, many drivers would be put off by this and not drive their cars; they would be encouraged to walk or use the town’s excellent public transport system instead.
Yours faithfully,
Kirk Summers

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in response to a worrying article about an increase in crime in residential neighbourhoods. I strongly believe that neighbourhoods would benefit from more Neighbourhood Watch programmes.

First of all, I think more police should patrol our neighbourhoods. This way, criminals would be less likely to commit crimes, and people would feel safer.

In addition, I believe that better street lighting should be installed. As a result, streets would be brighter at night, and it would be harder for criminals to hide.

In summary, I am in favour of practical measures to reduce crime in residential areas. I hope that you will take my suggestions into consideration.

Yours faithfully,
Kirk Summers
