Dear Mr Thomas I am writing to make a complaint on behalf of Year 9 about the fact that a new sculpture will be erected in the playground The students at BKS had been canvassed for their opinion on how best to improve the school environment, and they universally voted for a new adventure playground and sheltered garden. Despite having been assured by management that our opinion would be taken into consideration, it seems that our wishes have been completely ignored. We were also most shocked to discover that the management has opted for a rather extraordinary, futuristic sculpture made of concrete. Not only will this monument not blend well with its surroundings, but it is also outstandingly ugly in its own right. Moreover, the cost of this project is rumoured to be well over ten thousand dollars. It may come as no surprise to learn that not a single parent has any intention of contributing towards the cost. In view of this fact, we must urge the management to reconsider its decision in the very near future. I look forward to receiving a reply. Yours sincerely, Tom Smith Dear Vlad Just a quick note to say how cross I am – quite frankly, really furious - that you are going to put that ghastly new sculpture in the playground. For a start, you said that all the students could choose something democratically. Well, guess what! I’ve spoken to all my classmates, and nobody I know wants it. Actually, they all voted for something completely different – a new adventure playground for the primary children and a sheltered garden. And another thing, why is it made of concrete? I’ve never seen anything so cheap and ugly! Couldn’t you use local stone? This would look much better and would do more good for the local economy. And, by the way, who is going to pay for all this? Apparently, it’s going to cost a bomb. Well, this may surprise you, but none of us want to fork out a single penny for it. So, you’d better just think again if you can’t find the dosh yourself. Anyway, must go now. Let me know when you’ve come up with a solution to this problem. Regards, Tom PS You’ll be hearing from my classmates as well. And another thing, why is it made of concrete?
