Example essay
Dear Editor
An advertisement in your paper tells me that our local woodland will be destroyed so that new houses can be built. I think that it is a very bad idea to cut down trees that have been there for many hundreds of years. They have been an important part of the history of our town. Since the Middle Ages people have been in these woods to get firewood and to collect berries, and it has always been a place for children to play and have picnics.
It is wrong to destroy our environment to build more houses for people, because there are many birds, foxes and other small animals that already live there! Why must we destroy their homes so we can have even more? There is another reason too. In the middle of the town there is a lot of space because the old factory was knocked down. I know it might be more expensive to build here, but that is not an excuse for destroying nature. We should build these houses where the woods are already gone.
