Email 2: Write an email to the president of the club (120–150 words).

Bài mẫu

Dear President,

Thank you for asking for suggestions to help young families find suitable homes. I would like to propose several ideas. First, we could create a list of affordable housing options in different areas, including both apartments and small houses. Second, we should provide information about safe neighbourhoods with good schools, transport, and healthcare services.

In addition, it would be helpful to organise an online guide or workshop where experts can explain the process of buying or renting a home. Many young families are not familiar with legal procedures, so clear advice would be very useful.

I believe these suggestions will make it easier for families to make informed decisions and choose the right place to live. It will also increase the value of our club by supporting the community.

Kind regards,

Tom
