Dear Mr Brown,
Re: Behaviour of students after school
I am writing to you regarding the problems with children in the street after school.Students have been shouting and fighting for many weeks. In addition, some pupils have been drinking alcohol and painting graffiti on walls. In the past students were shouting sometimes, but the other problems are new.
Students do not have respect for people in this area. Many people feel bad about these problems, because they feel scared. Furthermore, people with jobs at night cannot sleep during the day. If the problems continue, people will be very angry.
From my perspective the school should do more to stop the problems. If teachers watch students after school, students will be well behaved. Students musthave respect for the neighbours, and they should have to do punishments if the problems continue.
I look forward to hearing from you about this issue,
Yours sincerely,
Your name 🙂 (no olvides – es irrespectuoso)
