A Survey on Proposing 'Save Our Beach'.

Introduction

We are students of UVW 312- English for Technical Communication and we are doing on a
survey on proposing to conduct an event 'Save Our Beach' at Monkey Beach, Penang.
Various organization and governmental mandates have attempted to protect our oceans and
beaches. But what it really comes down to is each individual. First, to save our beaches we
need to see this time as a turning point, when we recognize that it is still early enough to stop
this damage but that we may reach that point of no return all too soon. Each person needs to
commit to their own responsibility, working in small ways to save our oceans by keeping them
clean, managing storm water responsibly and so on. In order to complete our survey, we need
your help and cooperation. We really appreciate your cooperation in taking part in this survey, so
that we can gather information for our report. The questionnaire consists of five sections. Please
tick the appropriate answer for each section.
