Ask the city to make a crosswalk safer

Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

Children from the elementary school near your home cross a busy street at a crosswalk that has no traffic lights. Many drivers do not stop, and last week a child was almost hit by a car. Other parents in the area share your concern.

Write an email to the transportation department at City Hall in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Describe the crosswalk and the danger.
  • Point out who is most at risk.
  • Suggest two changes that would make the crossing safer.
0 wordsAim for 150–200
