Read the following letter and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Dear Ms. Mayor,

I am writing to express my concerns about several problems that our city is facing.

First, many public buses arrive late or don’t follow their schedules. Last Monday, I waited for over 40 minutes for the bus to get to work. Many people now prefer to drive cars instead of using buses, which makes the traffic even worse. I believe the city should improve the bus system by adding more buses and hiring more drivers.

Second, garbage collection is becoming a serious issue in several neighborhoods. People leave bags of trash on the streets because the trash bins are full. As a result, bad smells spread everywhere, and animals like rats often come to search for food. I think the city needs to provide more trash bins and collect garbage more often.

Finally, many young people are leaving the city to find better jobs elsewhere. This makes it harder for local businesses to find enough workers. I suggest the city government create new job opportunities by supporting small businesses and offering job training programs for young workers.

I hope you will consider these problems and take action to make our city a better place.

Sincerely,
Thomas Green
