Dear Sir,

I hate adver!s’ Tt’s impossible to avoid °&eeina

(see) them on tje television, in newspapers, on biilboards. However, it's no use feeling angry and

doing nothing so I decided ¹_ ;Join) an

anti-advertising pressure group because I feel

that is worth 2_(try) to fight hard.

If we don’t do something, the situation will only get worse. It might help if advertisers offered

_(do) something themselves but they

never do. TheyYe very good at⁴_

(look) after their businesses but they don’t want to look after the rest of us. Our

keep on⁵_(pressurise) the

govemment until they take decisive action. I

look forward to ^(;_(live) in a country

whicłi is, perhaps, a little less dominated by thesc unwclcome intradcrs into our lives.

Yours,

Mrs Mathilda Snipp
