lp: when you put it that way i suppose it was a great achievement. captain bligh was certainly excellent in the way he kept the men occupied and tried to take their minds off their troubles. in addition he treated everyone the same when it came to food or water. so i think you are right and it was the greatest example of navigational skill against the odds! do you agree?
da, wf and ly (together): yes. we do.

sample letter
dear sir，
i think captain bligh should certainly receive a special medal for his amazing voyage across the sea to timor. this is a journey that could not have been completed without great navigational skill. in addition captain bligh did not lose one man.
first, he showed his leadership qualities by sharing the food and water fairly with the men in the boat. everyone was treated equally and this made for good feeling between the members of the boat.
second, he kept everyone in the boat cheerful by discussing what they would do when they arrived safely. no one was allowed to think about what might happen if they did not arrive!
third, he kept them occupied by organizing the complicated mathematical calculations needed to find their position at sea. the crew who had taken over the “bounty” had left captain bligh with only a quadrant and a compass. this meant that numerous calculations were needed to find their correct position. captain bligh regularly and each person was given a different activity was important because it stopped the men from thinking about how little food and water there was.
so i hope you will give captain bligh this medal. he has shown leadership, fairness and concern for his crew and helped them return to england safely.
yours,
(your name)
