Aida is unhappy. The elevator in her apartment block is always out of order. Aida is very unhappy because she lives on the fifth floor and has four children. When the elevator is out of order, it is difficult for Aida to walk up all the stairs with her children.

When Aida got to her ESL class on Monday, she told her teacher, Jane, about her problem.

“I told the landlord many times, Jane,” Aida said. “I told him I couldn’t walk up all the stairs with kids and groceries. But, nothing has changed.”

“You should write a letter to the landlord, Aida. Write a letter and keep a copy of it,” Jane told her. “After you write it, you can show it to me and I will correct it.”
