FCE Writing - Complaning about an article written on your newspaper

DEAR Editor in Chief: (dear is sarcasm, for if you haven't noticed):

Your little funny article about the Summer Canchester School is, at least, inexact. I was there and I think some of the information in the article is not true. Check this down:

1.       It’s not true that “three quarters of the participants came from he same country”. The country with more participants was Spain with 10, and there were far over one hundred boys and girls there.

2.       It’s not a fact that “only one of the five teachers”. There were, at least, 10 teachers and monitors. Moreover, it’s not a fact that there was “only one qualified language teacher”. In fact, all of them were qualified but JG, but he was preparing his exams and he was there doing his practical month, and he was kind and respectful.

3.       Your newspaper cannot write “few of the participants actually wanted to spend time in his classroom”. The classroom was always full because if we didn’t go to class, we couldn’t participate in afternoon activities. I even ask for extra evening classes, since I was learning a lot. I think I couldn’t write this letter so well if I hadn’t attended to  the classes.

4.        Nor you can allow your journalist to write “the arts events were few and far between”. You don’t know what I’m doing  journalist could have gone to weekly concerts where we ourselves were playing, the versions of Macbeth and Hamlet that we performed and the non-stop projection of the Star Wars saga. Maybe we are freaks, but not childish.

5.       Local people were there, at least fifty of them in each event, and they were happy about having the Summer School. Maybe you should send your journalist to math classes.

6.       There wasn’t “a rather unpleasant fight at the final” of the football match. Our Swedish friend broke his leg in an unfortunate accident. That was all. The boy that broke his leg went in the ambulance with him, so guilty he felt but he didn’t mean to hurt him.

7.       I don’t remember any Ana from Mexico being in the school.

For all these reasons, I hope you write a new article with accurate information about the Summer school and a note saying you’re sorry about what you’ve written. If not, legal measures will be taken by me and my colleagues.
