Dear Mr Mah,
Feedback About The Playgrounds In Tampines
I am Luke Toh Rui Qi from Pasir Ris Secondary School which is located in Tampines. My purpose of writing this letter to you is to providing you with feedback about the playgrounds in Tampines and suggestions to improve them.
Firstly, I want to tell you about the advantages of the playgrounds I have seen before. I think the thing that most people benefit from is that it is near houses and flats children can go to the playgrounds any time they want. Now, I will talk about some disadvantages. Some playgrounds are not safe for certain age groups. For example, I have seen some cases in which young children had fell down while running. I suggest that you can use materials that while not cause cuts like cement for the floors for the playground. I think that will minimize the injury of the children who fall down and will cause lesser bruises and cuts.
My group have made a model of a playground and hope that you can take it to consideration. However, I will of course demand a sum of money for copyright. The playground has targeted children with terminal illnesses as our main focus. It has features like a castle, flying fox, merry-go-round, colorful entrances, etc. I believe that there will be many children with terminal illnesses in this neighborhood and really hope that you will consider about my suggestion. I believe that not only children with terminal will visit the playground. I also recommend that the playground should only be used by certain age groups so that it will not be abused by people for illegal gathering. I hope that you would take my suggestions into consideration and reply me as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
luke
