Letter #6<\/p>\n
Dear Sir\/Madam,<\/p>\n
I am a year eight student of Ipeka Christian Bilingual School.
\nLast week, my family and I went to a bazaar for charity at Hotel
\nGran Melia, Kuningan. We departed from our house at 10 a.m.
\nUnbelievably, we arrived at Hotel Gran Melia at 12:30 p.m. The
\nstreet was very crowded [with] people and transportation,
\nespecially cars. I am sure the same thing or maybe worse is
\nexperienced by most of Jakarta's people.<\/p>\n
If there are too many traffic jams in the city, people cannot
\nuse their time efficiently. People will waste their time just on
\ntraffic jams. People will also waste energy and oil consumption.
\nThe problem becomes worse because now we have a fuel shortage.
\nCars and motorcycles also pollute the air. Air pollution causes
\nmany diseases and makes the death rate high.<\/p>\n
We could stop these problems together. First, I would like to
\ntell the government to make better public transportation with
\nbetter facilities, especially the security. Then, I suggest that
\nthe government should give the right penalty for undisciplined
\ndrivers and pedestrians who don't obey the rules based on the
\nlaw.<\/p>\n
Lastly, I think the government should make a higher security
\nlevel on the streets to make people feel comfortable and secure
\nwhile they're using their transportation.<\/p>\n
If the government did all of my ideas, I am sure less people
\nwould buy private transportation and people that already have
\nprivate transportation will sell theirs and use public
\ntransportation. This will prevent too much transportation in
\nJakarta and any other place in Indonesia.<\/p>\n
People could also save their time and oil consumption. When
\npeople have spare time, they can spend it with their family,
\nrelatives and neighbors.<\/p>\n
With the lower cost on oil consumption, the transportation
\ncost will become cheaper. If the transportation cost is cheap,
\nthen the goods that are sold will become cheaper too. I am sure
\nthis will also increase our economic growth.<\/p>\n
The other benefit that we could receive is that less
\ntransportation will also make less air pollution, which will also
\nmake us healthier, and the death rate will be lower. Maybe the
\nmain problem of doing my idea is the cost of repairing the public
\ntransportation. I think this problem can be covered by making
\nhigher taxes for private transportation, especially for luxury
\ncars.<\/p>\n
I hope my ideas will be considered for making Indonesia
\n(especially Jakarta) a better place to live. Thank you for your
\nattention.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,
\nAnastasha Herman<\/p>",
