Letter to the editor on extreme sports should be banned
Answers
To all standardized test (CPE) takers, certain forms of writing need to be practiced. This one is a letter, more specifically a letter to a newspaper (or magazine) editor.
The prompt deals with stating your opinion on the practice of dangerous sports – Should it be banned or not ?
General guideline:
1. Much like in essays, you need to make a point and support it by using clear, good English
2. Unlike most formal essays, you can actually write some first-person sentences. However, bear in mind that overusing those sentences is not a good idea. Save them for the introductory and conclusion paragraphs. For the body paragraphs – the ones used to support your point of view – prefer to work with more general arguments, otherwise your letter might look like a personal attack.
