WRITING MODEL

http://globalcourtesy.com/soundoff

I am writing to complain about tourists' littering in our

country. Not only is it inconsiderate, but it also
detracts from the ability of everyone-tourists and
locals alike-to enjoy all that our country has to offer.
Tourists come to our country from all over the world
to enjoy our beaches, museums, and monuments.
I have noticed many of them throwing candy wrappers,
cigarette butts, and other things on the ground, rather
than in trash cans. It is rude for them to expect the
people who live here to clean up after them.
I urge all tourists who visit our country to please be
considerate of your hosts and to clean up after
yourselves. That way we can all enjoy your visit.
Sincerely,
Sasha Pilcher

I] WRITING Use your notes to write an e-mail letter to an international tourism website.

wou ld like behavior to change.

D Did I use the proper salutation and closing?
