Заполните пропуски в письме следующими фразами и предложениями:
1_______,
I am writing in response to Mungo Newcombe’s column (“Fear”, 24th June). Mr Newcombe describes our area as “crime-ridden” and “out of control”. Having recently carried out a project on crime, I disagree strongly with Mr Newcombe’s opinions.
2_______. This is simply not true. In fact, it has been falling steadily for the past ten years. 3_______. The truth is that violent crime makes up only two percent of all crimes committed. The majority of crimes involve car theft. However unpleasant this is, it rarely involves violence to other people.
Mr Newcombe also mentions crime prevention. He accuses the local council of scrapping the crime prevention programme. This is untrue. Indeed, the council budget for crime prevention this year was fifty percent more than last year.
I would strongly suggest that Mr Newcombe checks his facts carefully before he writes again on this subject. Making people feel afraid for no reason does not benefit our local community at all.
4_______,

Dear Editor
Firstly, he states that the crime rate is higher than ever before
Secondly, he describes the crimes that are committed as “violent”
Yours sincerely
