Dear Sir / Madam,Pollution near my home

I am writing to complain about pollution near my home. There is aschool opposite to where I live. Many parents drive their children to

school and pick them up by car every day. They keep their enginesrunning even while they are waiting outside the school. The enginesproduce fumes and cause a lot of pollution.

I think the government should educate people about taking public

transport and people should switch off their engines when they

are not driving.

Yours faithfully,Pat Chan
