Please rate my GT task1.

You are living near a public park and the condition of this park is getting worse than before. Write a letter to the park management and say
- Why are you interested in this park?
- What are the problems you are facing?
- What are your suggestions for improvement?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to bring to your kind attention the current state of the park near my apartment. I am visiting this park for many years and use it mainly for my morning walks. I regret to say that the condition has deteriorated and it is no longer what it used to be in the past.

The underground drainage has broken for several weeks now. The sewage form it has flown on to jogger’s track and made the track unusable. The water from the drainage has created a pond near the entrance of the park and this has become a breeding place for many parasites. I request the park management to repair the drainage system and clean the lawn as soon as possible.

Also, the park is not monitored adequately, especially during nights. Some people are taking advantage of this situation in a wrong way. I suggest, management should consider installing CCTV’s in the park and appoint a man on duty to monitor illegal activities.

I hope the management addresses these issues on priority.

Yours faithfully,
npr.

Your letter looks good. Olny few corrections.

I am visiting this park for many >>>>> I have been visiting
It used to be in the past >> passive voice. Change it to active. Better to rewrite the sentence. "It is no longer the same what it was"

I am writing to bring to your kind attention ON the current state (situation) of the park (give a name to the park)

The sewage "from" it

flown? It can be "spread" right?

I request the park management to repair >>> You are writing to them, right?

It has been observed << another passive voice for a period of time that the underground sewage pipe has broken. The sewage water is getting sprinkled on to jogger’s track and made it hideous to jog. In addition, this waste water flows towards the main entrance[, forming a pool of sewage water<< where a pool is formed >> avoid multiple commas in a sentence]. This pool has become a breeding place for many parasites.

For a while, << avoid this, as an initial measure I would suggest the authorities to shut down the park. Because pool can become a reason for spreading viral infections. [ << or rewrite these two sentences together which will make probably a complex sentence as well as to make the sentence more beautiful >> Because of the threat like spreading viral infections, I would suggest the authorities to shut down the park for a while.] Latter, request the incumbents to replace the damaged sewage pipe and take appropriate measures to revive the public property.
