Dear Mayor,
My name is Henry Little. I am the town's energy expert. I have completed my research on new renewable energy sources and have found a few that I would suggest. Solar panels work great during the day and are very cheap to build. Wind turbines are clean to run and will work great during the windy seasons like fall and spring. Finally, nuclear power is clean and can run all day. Renewable energy has many advantages over non-renewable sources like coal. However, the town should keep a natural gas power plant just in case it's cloudy or the wind stops. A good mix of both energy sources can help keep the lights on and reduce pollution, so I suggest the town increase the total use of renewable energy to 70%, close the coal power plant, and keep the natural gas plant.
Henry, the town’s (21) , completed his research on renewables. He suggested that the town use (22) because they work great during the day and wind turbines because they are (23) to run. Henry also suggested (24) because it can run all day, and the town should increase the total use of (25) energy to 70%.

Dear Cindy,
I hope all is well. I am sending you this postcard from London, England. I will be staying at the historic Ritz Hotel for the next two weeks on vacation, and I invite you to come and visit. We can check out the British Museum in the Bloomsbury area and see the science and human history exhibit. We could also do some sightseeing around the city. I hear Kensington Park is a great place to go and look around. Or, I can take you to Portobello Road in the Notting Hill district. It’s the largest market in the world, and you can find everything there, from fashion to food. Plus, it is a great place to buy souvenirs. Well, I hope you can visit. I could use a friend to take photos with and share some delicious fish and chips.
Your friend,
Tom
