Dear Sir or Madam:
I hear our school is going to buy some videos in the near future.
I have some ideas about videos. I think we should buy some historical films. If we buy some, we will study a lot of history about the world. Also we will learn English. However, it’ll be quite difficult to understand because even if we watch such a film in our own language, sometimes we cannot understand quite clearly. So it’s better to buy several kinds of videos, for example, cartoons and drama films. It is not very easy to understand but almost every student is interested in such a kind of films. So we can enjoy watching films and studying English.
I think when we study, we have to be serious but at the same time we need some fun. If we can enjoy studying we will keep our mind on it for a long time. It is a good thing for every student.
Please think about my opinion. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely, Laura

Dewitt is a very old town near the sea. It’s very beautiful. There’s also a lot of history. Its old town centre was built in the 1500s. It’s a place where visitors can go back in time to a different world. Many of the local people are farmers. However, today farming is not the only business here. Tourists all over the world are coming to enjoy the town and its history — and spend money. This tourism has brought hope and money to the town. Many people think that this will be the future of Dewitt.
“This is an easier way to make money. Now we have a very good chance to develop tourism and help our economy（经济）,” some people say. However tourism can also bring changes and problems. Sometimes, when tourism increases, the economy grows too quickly. This can cause problems. The local environment can become worse because of pollution.
People in Dewitt want a business that makes money, but they know they have to be very careful. They can’t allow tourism to grow without some control. They have to make some important decisions. Will they be able to control the pollution and save the environment? Will they further develop tourism? No one knows. The future of their beautiful town may depend on the decisions they make today.
