Dear principal,
I’m Li Hua, a student from senior three. Learning that our school is asking for our opinions on shortening the school week to four days, I am writing to express my thoughts.
Although shortening the school days will give students better rest and plenty of time to do the things that they are fond of, it will be a disaster for the students who need more time to get ready for their school career. As a senior three student, I think a four-day school week is not a good choice for us students, because we not only need teacher’s help in academy but also ought to do a number of exercises to prepare for the college entrance examination.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my suggestion and make a careful decision.
Yours,
Li Hua
