Understanding Informal Letters on Social Issues
Dear Jamie,
I hope you're well. I wanted to talk to you about the recent changes in our community, especially the new recycling programme and its impact on local attitudes towards waste management. Many residents feel there’s not enough communication about the benefits, and some are still resistant to change. I think it’s crucial that we all work together to improve our environment.
Take care,
Sarah
