Dear Jenny Ms. Lavender,
I am writing you in order to express my agreement with your opinon. I read your letter in the newspaper one last week ago and I search in a rush promptly searched for the reporter you talked about referenced. That reporter's opinion was degrading to me.
As far as I am concerned we know, women female soldiers pass psychological and physical tests to demonstrate they are able their ability to do their the jobs. After Their proven ability should allow them that, they are capable to do the same jobs than the other as their male counterparts soldiers do.
Another thing I get me angry was when I also take issue with the journalist's statement: "women are not capable of fighting effectively because of their emotional make-up." He This retoric suggests that suppose all woman have share the same emotional characteristics, or that they don’t have to pass complete the same psychological tests than the men that male soldiers do. In my opinion This kind of traditional thoughts discriminatory thinking injured the impression compromises the integrity of our soldiers that who work hard for our security.
I hope all our letters help to bring-about a change in the mind wrong thinking of some sexist men. like this.
It was a pleasure read your letter.
Yours faithfully,
Teresa
Teresa, another good letter. A word of caution: when wtiting letters consider to omit phrases like "I get angry" or: "As far as I'm concerned", and "In my opinion. We want to stay away from "Mad Mail", and in the case of the latter two; we know that the letter contains your thoughts, so emphasizing that the words are your opinion, and your concerns tends to make the reader loose interest. Readers already know it's your concerned opinion, you know what I mean?
Very good! Keep it up!

2. You are going to write a letter expressing your own opinions
in reply to this letter written to a newspaper one week ago:
In these days of equality between the sexes, it seems to me
perfectly reasonable that, in wartime, women soldiers should be
expected to fight alongside their male counterparts on the front
line. Unlike your reporter (Ref Why we should continue to
protect our women, The Evening Times, Friday 13 April) I firmly
believe that, given the right training and experience, women are
as physically and mentally tough as men.
In my view, those who claim that women are not capable of
fighting effectively because of their emotional make-up are
guilty of simple, old-fashioned sexism.
