I’m planning to start my own business in the future. The business I want to have is an online shop that sells handmade Moroccan crafts to customers around the world. I am interested in this business for different reasons. First, I love our traditional art and I want to help local artisans earn a fair income. Second, an online business needs a small investment at the beginning, so it is easier for a young person to start. Finally, I would like to be my own boss, make my own decisions and create jobs for other young people in my city.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing on behalf of the students of our school to talk about the challenges we face in our school clubs.

First of all, many clubs do not have enough funding. As a result, members cannot buy materials or organize activities such as theatre shows and science exhibitions. Moreover, the lack of suitable rooms and equipment makes it difficult to hold regular meetings. Another challenge is time. Because of the heavy timetable and homework, students can hardly attend club sessions. In addition, some clubs have no trained supervisor, so students do not get enough guidance.

I would therefore be grateful if you could consider giving each club a small budget, a fixed room and a regular slot in the weekly timetable. I am sure these steps would help students enjoy their clubs and learn more from them.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
[Your name]
