A young boy named Ray is the author of the letter just below. The reply to his letter from Mr. Locke is in the box below that. Read the passage and the letter then decide what Ray's main purpose for writing his letter was.
Dear Mr. Locke,
Last week I fell off my bike. I bruised my elbow and sprained my wrist, but my injuries would have been worse if I hadn’t been wearing my bicycle helmet. "Tell your friends what happened to you," the doctor said, "so they’ll be sure to wear their helmets, too." I did what the doctor said and told my friends, but getting a few kids to wear helmets is not a big deal. A famous basketball player like you, however, could convince thousands of kids to wear helmets. How do I know? Sport-Ade is the best-selling soft drink because Sam Locke drinks it. Zoomers are the most popular basketball shoes because Sam Locke wears them. And, of course, the "Locke" is the coolest hairstyle for boys. I think you should film a public-service announcement for television, telling kids to wear helmets. If the message came from you, kids would pay attention. I hope you’ll think about it.
Sincerely,
Ray Brown
Dear Ray,
Your terrific letter has persuaded me to film a public-service announcement about the importance of wearing bicycle helmets. Now I have a request for you. Would you appear in the announcement with me? You could talk about your accident and how your helmet protected you. I’m sure we’ll persuade more kids to wear helmets if we make the announcement together. Please call me at 555-3471 to say yes. Then we’ll arrange to fly you to Chicago for the filming.
Sincerely,
Sam Locke
