Directed writing (Report on School Problems)

Address of the writer

Subject: Reporting about the school's problems and providing suggestions

To the Principal of X school,
      The school is currently facing many issues which, if not resolved, will have an adverse effect on the popularity and rapport of our school. The paints on the school premises are worsening day by day. The number of sports facilities is quiet low and those that are available are being maintained poorly. The laboratory has not been renewed after it caught fire a couple of months ago due to the lab accident. The wash-rooms and water closets are also dirty with strange drawings all over their walls and some do not even have sufficient water supply.
  New sports facilities should be provided. The ground in the west corner of the school is currently of no use and wild grass has grown there. It should be mowed so it can be changed into a football pitch. After renewing the lab, new microscopes, chemicals and other latest equipment should be brought so that the students can stay up-to-date. Some class rooms are being used fro nothing. New subjects should be offered so that we can maximise use of the spare capacity. After the premises have been repainted, new windows should be fitted as most are damaged. These would increase the visual appeal as well.
  These may look very expensive in the beginning but in later times, it would increase our student strength and would enhance our school's image. The students will have more curricular and extra-curricular activities to take part in. However if these problems are not overcome with firm resistance, they would undermine not only our number of students but also our reputation as a school. I hope that my report is good enough to convince you to take immediate action against these severe issues.

    2. What r the tricks u use for improving your language skills? I have a huge number of words stored in my memory but I'm unable to use them on spot.

    3. The trick is to keep your sentences short. Simple language with spot on grammar will earn you higher marks as opposed to using complicated words in wrong context. Rather than learning the synonyms to difficult words, learn their definition and usage in sentences. For example,walk and stroll might look similar at first but their definitions are different.
