  3. Body (content, 2 marks):
    I suggest that a dedicated space be set aside for senior citizens in our community park. Our elders have nowhere to sit together, talk and relax, and such a corner would reduce loneliness and improve their physical and mental health.

    A shaded area near the entrance or under the large trees could be used. It could have benches, a covered pergola, drinking water, good lighting and a smooth walking path. A small library corner and a gentle exercise area could be added. I request the RWA to take this up at the next meeting.

    2 marks

  4. Accuracy: correct language, about 120 words, ending with 'Yours sincerely, Rohini Monga'.

    1 mark

Answer: Formal letter to the RWA of about 120 words suggesting a senior citizens' space in the park.

  • Organisation and formal tone (1 mark)
