Email 2: Write an email to the manager (120–150 words).

Bài mẫu

Dear Manager,

Thank you for sharing the proposals to encourage gardening in our city. I strongly support the idea of planting 50 new trees and flowers in the local park. This option will improve the environment, make the city more beautiful, and provide fresh air for residents.

While gardening workshops are useful for learning skills, I believe the impact of planting trees is more direct and long-term. It can also raise public awareness about protecting nature and inspire more people to care about green spaces.

I suggest involving local volunteers and students in the planting activities to increase participation and community engagement. This will make the project more successful and meaningful for everyone.

Kind regards,

Tom
