persuading letter practice.2
Dear Mr Taylor
i know how nice of a Headmaster you are and i know you put the happiness of your students first and i have to say, they are not happy about one little rule you have. I understand that you would like to change a few things here in this school and here is one more think you can help us students with. It is to do with our dress code. I think the dress code is pretty much alright but the one rule i cannot stand and that is the rule about how big our shirt strap should be.
Most students including me are quite sick of being told off by a teacher for just wanting to look good. i know this is a school and it is more important if you get good grades but we are only in middle school and high school so we are only children and we like dressing up.
The people who are complaining about this rule is pretty much only girls. If you are a girl and you go shopping and you buy a nice shirt on a Sunday, you would like to wear it on Monday and show our friends you do not really want to wait a whole week to show our friends and just wear tops that are decent for school. If the reason you have this rule is because you want our school to look more formal, then i have to say this is not fair. the reason for this is because even CAJ (Christian Academy in Japan) who is a very strong christian school and do not like showing a lot of skin, do let their students wear tank tops just as long as no other strap is showing. Now, if CAJ is aloud to wear tops like that, it is only fair we get to wear that sort of thing to. please take this letter into consideration. it would really make this school a happier and better place
thank you
Nayana
