Email to a principal about a broken water fountain

Dear Ms Chan, I am writing on behalf of Class 5C about the water fountain on the third floor, which has been out of order since last Monday. During the two breaks, students now crowd the ground-floor fountain, and several of us have been late for the lesson after recess. The weather has been hot this week, so the problem is more than a minor inconvenience. Would it be possible for the caretaker to inspect the fountain this week, or to place a temporary bottle station on 3/F? We would also be happy to put up a notice so that students do not keep pressing the broken tap. Thank you for your time. I look forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, Chris Wong Class 5C

老師改卷時在比的三段

約 Level 3–4 段(老師會覺得『有寫但空』)

Pollution is a very serious problem in Hong Kong. We should raise awareness and everyone must work together to protect the environment. If we don’t, the future will be bad.

約 Level 5 段(老師會給發展分)

After six, many S.6 students revise in 24-hour fast-food shops and buy a drink they do not want so they will not be asked to leave. A staffed classroom until 10:30 would cost the school a duty teacher, not a new building. That is a narrower, more honest request than ‘raise awareness’.

約 Level 5**–6 段(老師覺得『這人見過世界』)

The Housing letter called the wet market ‘under-utilised’. Mrs Lam’s stall is empty on Tuesdays, yes; it is also the only place on the estate where a family can take three pieces of fish and pay on Friday. A supermarket can mop the floor. It cannot keep that kind of credit. When we applaud an ‘upgrade’, we should say who loses the unofficial overdraft.
