System

Dear Sir/Madam
The transport system in this country certainly hasn't improved in the
1

few years. People have been complaining about the railways for

years and they're 2

as bad as ever. Nobody has been able to come

up with a solution to that problem 3

More people than ever are

travelling to work by train 4

but the number of trains has not

increased. 50 trains that were 5

overcrowded are now even worse.

People who have to use them every day to get to and from work have decided that
they can't stand it 6

and have started going by car. Of course, that

makes the situation on the roads worse. Surely something can be done!
Yours faithfully

New Music Venue

A new music venue has 1

opened in the town. It's called The Blue Note

proving to be a major success. 3

, every event held

there has sold out, with people queuing down the street to get in. The club's
owners 4

announced that they have reached an agreement for The

Factors to appear there next month. This group is 5

beginning to achieve

nationwide fame, so tickets will probably be hard to come by. They're not on sale
6

but they will be soon. 50, if you feel that you haven't had a great night

who like live music can't complain 8
