Name Class

Homework worksheet 9a

Read Marias email to the Mayor and then answer the questions.

Dear Mayor,

I live in Culleredo in the Autonomous Community of Galicia and I use lots of local services.

I drink clean, fresh drinking water. I use the recycling bins near the supermarket to recycle rubbish. I use the bus to go to school. I use the doctor and the hospital. At weekends I go to the swimming pool and to the music club.

I think that Culleredo is a very good place to live, but I think that we need more parks to play in and more zebra crossings to help us cross the road safely. I would also like recycling bins near my house. I would also like to use public transport to go to the swimming pool and to the music club. We need more clubs after school for children to learn languages or to do sport.

Yours sincerely,

Maria
