22. A suggestion letter Dear grandmother, I’ m writing this letter because I have read the news report on CCTV… Yours, …

23. Li Lei’s suggestion letter Dear grandmother, I’ m writing this letter because I have read the news report on CCTV. I know you must be very unhappy these days. As we all know, sports are part of our life and culture. They are not only good for our physical health but also beneficial to our mental health. This is why sports are so popular everywhere, in whatever culture and whatever age group. (Oh, my God! My grandson is so clever! I love you !)

24. However, sports are not without any problems if you do not deal with them in the right way. Every year in different parts of the world, overdoing exercise causes unexpected death. I have also noticed that even though many people like the benefits of sports, they may ignore the problems they cause to other people. Senior citizens who like doing sports in public places may cause unpleasant noise to people living nearby. (You’re talking about my problem! What a shame! But you are right anyway.)

25. Therefore, would you please consider doing park dancing in a place far away from the neighborhood where many people live. I’m sure if you no longer cause trouble to other people, they will also be friendly to you! Love you, Li Lei (Good idea! I’ll consider your suggestion! Thank you so much!)
