IGCSE English Writng to inform
Write a letter to the Editor explaining why you are unhappy with the way teenagers are portrayed in the media.
Dear editors,
I am writing to inform you with the outrageous article you have written on Passmores School and Technology Collage. This media has represented teenagers in this way to society today, it only make an impression of them that “Britain’s teenagers are goby, impolite, spoilt and lacking enough self-discipline to interact with anyone.” This supports stereotypes of modern reckless teens, when in reality “the majority of Britain’s teenagers are interesting, polite and simply brilliant young students. On the TV show ‘educating Essex’ I have witnessed many negative things that shows teenagers in a bad way, such as students walking across tables, walking down the corridors on their mobile phones, swearing at each other in addition to teachers, cyber bullying, teenager pregnancy. One particular thing I pointed out in the article that has been written is ‘young girls caked with make-up.’ This quote simply means, the girls wear too much make-up. If you think about this in deeper meaning you could say that the girls in Passmores School and Technology collage wear make-up to feel pretty or even they might be feeling insecure about their appearance so they try to hide it with concealer (form of make-up). Even the introduction is very negative towards teenagers. You’re trying to tell the media that teenagers don’t behave in school and do not care about their education and future, however the majority of students are NOT like that. Most of them are fun-loving, love to mess around in a good way and mature for their age even though sometimes they don’t behave they will always find themselves in the wrong. As they are teenagers they might want to show off for the cameras and as they will be on TV, in addition to they think it’s a good idea to play up to the camera but what they don’t understand is if they act like the way they’re acting they will be misjudged
