   - suggest how it could be improved

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear ......,

Model Answer:

Dear Mrs Harper,

I am a student of the Abbey Wood National College and dine at the college cafeteria almost every day. The is a nice place and I love eating my meals here very much. However, I would like to point out areas where it requires improvements.

The food quality is up to the mark but I have some objections to the seating arrangements. It should be more organised and cleaned every time a batch of students finish their meals. Besides, the basin is not clean enough and sometimes water is leaked from the tap. Moreover, outsiders are allowed here to have their meals and there are no reserved seats for the girls, which is quite problematic for the girls who reside in the college.

Thereby, I think some steps should be taken to improve the overall condition. You should make some comfortable seating arrangements for the students. Banning outsiders during the lunch hour is also required as many other college canteens do so. Please repair the taps to prevent water wastages. I wish these amendments would make it an even better place for an excellent dining experience.

Yours sincerely,
Lucy Gomes
