First, I would like to suggest that our school should provide more ping-pong tables, so more students can play ping-pong during breaks. Second, I think we should have more books in the library because the library is a great place for us to enjoy reading and open our minds. Moreover, we need more computers in the library so that it is easier for us to search online. I hope my suggestions help improve our school life.

Here are some ideas that I hope can help make our school a better place. First, I would like to suggest changing the school lunch break. The lunch time is too short, and we always have to eat quickly. I think it will be a good idea to make the lunch break 15 minutes longer so we can eat slowly and have time to talk with friends. Second, I have a suggestion for the school library. The books there are old, and we don’t have many new ones. It would be great to buy more interesting storybooks and science books. Finally, about the sports facilities, there aren’t enough basketballs and badminton equipment. I think it will be a good idea to get more sports equipment. This way, more students can play sports after class and keep healthy. I hope you will find my suggestions helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter!
