Writing Task 2: Responding to Survey Questions
Read the following information.
A local newspaper is conducting a survey to know whether their paper should have more news or more discounts and offers
Local News Paper Survey:
Option A: Your newspaper should have more Local and International news, then discount coupons, etc.
Option B: You think you can access news online but you need more Discount coupons and offers section.
To whom it may concern. Thanks for inviting me to be part of this critical survey. I prefer that our newspaper has more local and international news, then discount coupons and offers section. I believe that it is more important that readers are up to date on local issues and concerns to be well informed of what is happening in their city. It is also just as important to be up to date on international news. We need to know what is happening in our neighbouring countries because events that are taking place can easily affect our country. A prime example of this is the current Covid-19 pandemic; if the local newspapers did not report on this outbreak, we would have never been prepared to deal with it. Furthermore, not all people have the tools to access news online, especially the older generation that is not as knowledgeable or skilled to use a computer or tablet. Lastly, in this new digital age that we live in, discount coupons are now easily accessible on our mobile devices, thus making them obsolete in newspapers. Regards, Tony
