Formal letter TASK 1: "You live in a small village of about 1,500 inhabitants. You use public transport as much as possible. British Rail, in the name of efficiency and economy, wants to close the village station. This means the nearest train station will be in the town 20 minutes drive away. Write a letter to oppose the proposal, giving your reasons why the station should remain open." Mr. Marc Fernández Palm St. 10th 08015 Barcelona Mr. Executive chief Britsh Rail Company 8th of june, 2018 Dear Mr. Executive Chief, I have decided to write this letter in order to make a sincerely petition to your company. I had a horrible suprise when I heard you are about to close my village's railway station. It would be a horrible situation for me and my village inhabitats if you had decided to close it. I would like to explain my point of view with three simple arguments. First, nowadays Britain is suffering an important emigration from countrysaide to big cities. This problem could be easily solved if people were able to travel faster along the country. Better communication means better opportunites for us and also means an improvement and an opportunity of growing for british society. The second point I woukd like to remark is about tourism. People in small villages have few opportunities to earn a living. If we have a railway stop more tourists might come and visit our town. Finally I want to throw an ecologist point of view. If the railway station closes I will have to get my car. Only for one passenger and this will contribute to the global pollution. I undesrtand that maybe is not profitable to have a station for a 1.500 inhabitatnts village but I'm sure you will considarate my arguments. Sincerely, Mr. Marc Fernández
