Question 7 - Exercise 7.1

7. Study the inappropriate development image. Write a letter to the local paper about the advantages and/or disadvantages of the development. (Viewpoint: a long-time local resident of the area who appreciates the coastal views)

Dear Editor,

The inappropriate development on our beautiful coasts are ruining the lifestyle we once lived. I understand that it may be a necessity in order to keep tourism in Australia alive and that the residents love it but have you asked to opinion of the long-time residents? Suddenly our once peaceful beaches are filled with tourists some of whom can't even swim! The grandeur of such development is outrageous, many years ago, residents living up to 3km away from the beach could see the coast line but can now only see highrise apartments and hotels. This eye-sore now completely covers the wonderful view of the harbour bridge. Is this the future of Sydney?

Sincerely, 
Tim Jones
