Letter Writing

You are writing to a school newsletter. You want to suggest your school to buy more new computers and books for students to use in the library. You can start the letter by introducing yourself. Tell the reasons why the school should buy the computers and books.

Dear Editor,

I am a student of Class 5E. My name is Louis Li.

I would like to suggest our school to buy more new computers and books for us to use in the library.

I always see many students waiting for computers at recess and lunch time. I think we also need the computer to look for information for our project.

There are not many new books for us to borrow. We are not interested in reading the old story books. They are not colourful. They look boring. If our school buys more interesting storybooks , more students will enjoy reading books.

I hope our school will think about my suggestion and buy some new computers and books for us.

Yours sincerely,
Louis Li
