Here I am, practising many writing tasks. Today I´m going to write a report.
You have listened to a radio programme on
social issues that affect the community. You have to write a report on social
issues like homelessness, crime and loneliness, suggesting ways to deal with
these issues.
To: José Arévalo, Cadena Ser´s
director
From: Esther Díaz, teacher
Subject: Social issues in our country
Date: March 24th, 2016
Purpose
The aim of this report is to discuss
different social issues which affect my community. The most important ones are,
perhaps, homelessness, crime and loneliness. Furthermore, suggesting some ways
of tackling these problems.
Homelessness
Nowadays, it is homelessness the main problem that
affect more to the population. We started with this crisis some years ago and
it still carries on. Regarding that, many people have lost their jobs and,
moreover, many of them cannot pay a rent or, simply, can’t make the ends meet.
This is terrible, apalling plus even disgusting. Watching on news how a family
more is ejected with a eviction order. The solution is trully complicated.
Perhaps the government and the banks might give them more months to pay all
their debts before leaving them without anything.
Crime
The second point is nearly relationated with
homelessness. Why? The answer is simple. Because there are a lot of vacuum
houses and flats and that is the paradise for the criminals and buglers.
Briberies, robes, steals for instance are rising in the last few years.
Furthermore, there are many poor people who have to steal food or similar
things to subsist. The more unemployers there are, the more criminals there
will be. Solution: improving the surveillance on streets, especially on the
richest ones.
Lonelyness
That social issue mainly affects the elderly
people. Not only do they live alone, but they also do not have any relative
near to them. That is extremely sad because that could cause depression and
other mental problems. Besides, these people could have some health problem, so
it is better to control them. Many volunteers could visit them at their homes,
accompany them during daily time, prepare their meals, come with them to the
doctor or simply stroll for the streets.
Conclusion
To sum up, and taking all of this into account,
I consider there are enormous and important social issues in our community.
Although, if all of us help in different things, being volunteer, for instance,
these problems will improve. I strongly believe this is the clue.
