Show them a sample and explain the useful phrases, the content they should mention, and how to be formal to them.Dear Sir,Recently, a survey about the school computer room was carried out in our school. The students find the design of the computer room impractical. They are not interested in studying there because of this. I am writing this proposal to you to voice our opinion that the computer room needs improving.There are not enough computers in our computer room. The computers that we use at the moment are old and slow, and they often crash, which wastes a lot of time. The computers there are not connected to the Internet, so we can not get the information that we need for our homework. There is only one printer in the room, which always goes wrong. In addition, the room is too hot in summer. As more and more subjects are involved in IT, the computer room is playing a very important role in our studies nowadays. We are encouraged to use computers to do our homework and get information from the Internet. Now many factories and companies cannot work without computers, so those who have computer skills are easier to find a job. In order to get ourselves well prepared for the future, we need a well-equipped computer room. I am sure that most parents would agree with our proposal that our school should improve the computer room.The government says we should have more IT in all subjects, andmore subjects are developing rapidly with the help of IT. Computer skills are becoming more and more important in further studies. We will not keep up with the development of society if we are not good at using computer room an hope that you will seriously consider our request.Best wishes,Senior High 1Wang HuaHomework1.
