For our Inquiry task this week we had to write a letter to the Prime Minister about an issue. I choose the housing crisis.

Letter to Prime Minister
( Jacinda Ardern)
Dear Jacinda Ardern,
I have been reading a lot of things in the news about the housing crisis. I am concerned that many people are living on the street, or crowded in a small house with many people. If we live in a country like New Zealand, why do so many people have to live like this?
Firstly, there are not enough houses for people to live in so we need to build more. If we build more houses then this will mean people will have a job. Do you think this is a good idea?
Secondly, the cost of renting and the price to buy a house is too high for people to afford.
Many people work hard and are still not able to pay their bills. You would think people could work and pay for their bills. So why is this a problem for them?
Thirdly, if people live in crowded or poor conditions they're more likely to get sick. So that will make more problems. What does the government think about that?
So as you can see the housing crisis is a real issue. I hope you and your government are able to fix this problem.

Nice approach Brodie! You've highlighted a few problems that are really causing many NZ families some real stress. Apart from cutting the cost of a new home, what are some others ways the government could help make home ownership possible?
ReplyDeleteHave a go at grouping your ideas together when you are arguing a point. It makes your argument stronger. Well done!
Hi Ms O'Dea,
ReplyDeleteThank you for some really good feedback I went back and fixed them.

Brilliant! The changes you made help the reading flow and create a strong argument. You have to be happy with your extra effort!
