You recently went to a museum where the staff were particularly helpful. Write a letter to the museum's curator, giving your overall opinion of the museum and suggesting what might be done to further improve the standard of what it has to offer the public.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to commend you on the exceptional service the Museum of Natural History offers the community оf Kempton. I recently visited the museum for the first time and viewed your exhibition entitled "The Age of Dinosaurs" which was, to my mind, extremely interesting and informative.
I was particularly impressed by how approachable and help/ul the museum staff were; they showed themselves willing to help with any questions or requests which arose during my visit. Moreover, I appreciated the fact that the guides were very knowledgeable about their subject.
In my opinion, the subject of your feature exhibition was both jascinating and enlightening. It was obviously carefully researched and its excellent presentation made it interesting to people of all ages. I was equally impressed with the permanent exhibits and found your late closing time very considerate and convenient for working people such as myself.
There are, however, one or two suggestions I would like to submit which I feel would further improve the standard of the museum. Firstly, a service offering guided tours in foreign languages would be useful for tourists visiting the museum. Additionally, installing ramps would make access easier for disabled people, thus making their visit more enjoyable.
Finally, may I suggest that you publicise the museum's forthcoming exhibits more widely? As a result, many more people like mysef who are interested in natural history would be made aware of the regular exhibitions you present. Once again, I would like to congratulate you on the very high standard of your museum, and assure you that I shall be a regular visitor from now on.
Yours faithfully,
