Letter To The Giant
Dear Mr Giant,
I am writing this letter to persuade you to come down from the mountain and have a meeting with Mayor Marsden to discuss this issue face to face.We do not want to harm you we just want to get to know you a little better because we don`t want to keep on refaring you as `The Giant`.
Furthermore,We were close to hiring a Giantoligist to solve this problem but the citizens of Thistle Mountain did not agree with the methods that he Giantoligist uses.We realise that everyone in Thistle Mountain has rights and you shouldn`t be treated differently in any possible way.
In conclusion,We have came to the conclusion that you shouldn’t be treated any differantly than anyone else and we should have a meeting and if you accullay read this letter you could possibly send us a letter back and you could send it to the Community Centre.
Your Sincerlay

Thistle Mountain
The Hill
Dear Mr. Giant,
My name is Jennifer Cameron, I am 28 years old, I work at the school, Thistle Acadamy. I am writing this letter to you today to invite you to come to to our village and have a meeting with us to discuss our similarities instead of our differences. It would be very appreciated.
I re-assure you that you are not underthreat, down in our village you will have a very warm welcomefor only Mayor Marsdon and the Council will be there.
Mayor Marsden is a very kind man as we elected him ourselves, in addition, the Council are also very kind and warm welcoming. There will be no phisical contact but what we will do hope to work together to solve this issue.
No-one will force you to come but it would be great and no-one will force you to leave Thistle Mountain as you haven’t done any damage yet but the reason we are having this meeting with you is because we have heard rumours about you and we hope that none of them are true.
I hope to see you soon and if not i hope to hear back from you.
Kind Regards
Jennifer Cameron

Childhood Obesity
Dear Mr David Cameron, PM
I am writing this letter to discuss the growing issue of childhood obesity.The number of obese children is growing and has more than tripled in England over the past 25 years . Being obese or overweight can also lead to muscle problems like ; musloskeltta problems , lower exteremity problems and also ankle and feet problems,but if you were to raise awareness this issue could be solved quicker,also if we were to get more excercise and healthier food chioces in school that can reduce the risk of more children becoming obese.
In addition, to this obesity not only affects you physically but also mentally and emotionally, both of which that will take a big toll on their lives.The factors associatd wuth mental health problems in obese children include ; low self esteem , body dissatifaction, eating disorders and basic teasing tha can cause stress to the adolesents.It also affects obese children emotionally and the more emotional they get the more they eat,the more they eat theshoter their life expectarcy gets.Futhermore, obesity also affects your health as much as it does physically.Obese children are more likely to be ill or to be absent from chool due to ilness.Other health risks of childhood obesity includes ; early puberty , eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia,skin infections , asthma and other respitory problems.
In conclusion , I hope that you take my letter seriously and i look forward to your response to my letter.
Yours Sincerely, Olivia Ormond
