5. Read a letter to Mr. Smith, a park manager. Rewrite it in formal English using the words above Checking Answers: Dear Mr. Smith, I want to speak to you about the condition of the playground. I regret to inform you that people do not discard their rubbish properly. They leave rubbish on the ground instead of using the bins. Yesterday a 6-year-old child fell and cut his hand on a broken bottle. The boy was taken to hospital immediately. In addition, the beautiful view of the park is spoiled. I believe that there are a large number of actions you could take to solve this problem. For example, you should purchase additional litter bins and arrange security to prevent people from littering. It is my hope that you will take my concerns into consideration. I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Jerry Broker
