Answer to Question #159349 in English for Kim-Claurec

Question

You have seen the following comment in a national newspaper :

“All teenagers are lazy. Teenagers do nothing but watch too much television and waste too much time on computers and phones.”

Write a letter to the newspaper giving your views on this comment.

Answer 1

Dear Sir/Madam

REF: ALL TEENAGERS ARE NOT LAZY

I am writing this in response to the careless statement on your newspaper that all teenagers are lazy. It is wrongful to generalize that all teenagers just spend their day watching television and being lazy. There are so many great teenagers in all aspects of life from school, entertainment to sports industries. It is a misleading statement because the achievements of these teenagers must be celebrated and not undermined through such writings.

Your newspaper must know to differentiate between lazy and hard-working teenagers. The journalist that wrote the article must apologize to the press media for such a reckless statement.

Yours sincerely,

Concerned Citizen.
