Clean our beach!
Dear Sir / Madam
1 I’m writing because I was at the beach with some friends
last weekend and the amount of rubbish which we found
there was unbelievable. This photo shows the bottles,
cans and other rubbish which we found.
2 I think there are possibly two reasons for this. Firstly,
people aren’t responsible enough and they throw their
rubbish away anywhere. Perhaps we need a few signs and
people who patrol the beach. Also, there aren’t enough
bins on or near the beach, so I think we need more.
Secondly, nobody cleans the beach. I think this is terrible
in a tourist town. We need people to clean the beach and
empty the bins every day.
Maybe there isn’t much rubbish in other places. I don’t
know, but we must do something here if we want a
cleaner, more attractive beach.
