Dear editor,

I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had about whether an entrance fee should be charged for parks.

60% students think an entrance fee shouldn't be charged. The park is a relaxing place for the public. If we charge entrance fees, we have to build the gate, surroundings. These things will do harm to the appearance of the city.

But 40% students think an entrance fee should be charged. Because we need money to pay for the workers and buy some new trees and flowers.

I also think we should charge some entrance fee. But I think the fee should be very low.

Yours,

Reader
