Structure and paragraphs - Test Bite

1. You've just asked if you can go down to the park to meet your friends and have been given the following answer:

"You're not going anywhere near that place. It's full of litter, it's never supervised and the equipment is a total health hazard! You'll have to find somewhere else to hang around."

Write a letter to Mrs H Devonshire, Parks Department, complaining about the area and requesting that something is done about it.

Below are five ideas for paragraphs that you could include in your letter. They are not in the best order, so drag and drop them to improve the structure. Drag the idea into the best place in the table below:

  • Hope improvements can be completed soon

  • Teenagers can frighten the children and no-one supervises them

  • Say who I am / why I'm writing / where the place is

  • Need proper attendants / railings / new equipment / notices

  • Danger to young children from litter and broken swings
