Cycle to work (B2--informal) Dear XY, There’s a new campaign in my city. We don’t know much of the details, but it should promote cycling as a way of commuting over driving a car or even using public transport. It seems like a good idea to me, though I can understand if someone’s not in favor of it. For example, if your work is highly demanding physically, the last thing you’d want is to cycle to work. If you do your job in an office, however, it’s actually good to have some exercise, even if it’s not intensive, it improves your fitness and health in general. The only downside I can think of is having sweat spots all over your shirt. As for me, I went to school by bike in the past, but now I wouldn’t, because the traffic is a bit scary here, and I’m not mentally awake when the school starts. I fear I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on the road. Luckily the public transport is sufficient where I live, in those districts where I usually go at least. We have trams , underground and bus too, so if there’s some maintenance, which is quite frequent, I can choose another one as a replacement. (The mayor’s office of your town has launched a campaign called “Cycle to work”. Write an email (around 150 words) to your English friend and include the following: - Would you cycle to work/school? Why/why not? - the advantages of cycling - the disadvantages of cycling - public transportation at your place of living )
