Letter to the Editor: Structure and Practice

Outline the structure for the letter's body: introduction of the issue, analysis with causes and effects, and concluding with suggestions or an appeal.

Analyse a board-exam-level letter to the editor, identifying how arguments are structured and developed within the 120–150 word limit.
