Dear Sir/Madam,
A PROJECT THAT WILL BE USEFUL TO MY SCHOOL
I am writing this letter to sincerely thank your organization for giving my school the opportunity to benefit from one important project after winning the recent competition organized by your non-governmental organization. We are very happy and grateful for this honour. On behalf of my school, I would like to suggest that your organization should build a modern library for us.
A library is one of the most important facilities needed in a school. Many students in my school love reading, but we do not have a well-equipped library where students can sit quietly and study. The few books available are old and not enough for the number of students in the school. Therefore, I strongly believe that building a modern library will help my school in many ways.
Firstly, a modern library will improve the reading habit of students. Many students spend their free time playing or making noise because there is no comfortable place for them to read. If a good library is built, students will have a quiet place to read novels, textbooks, newspapers and other educational materials. This will make them more serious with their studies and help them gain more knowledge.
Secondly, the library will help students to perform better in examinations. In a good library, students can find textbooks and past question papers that will help them prepare for both internal and external examinations. Some students cannot afford all the textbooks they need, but if the school library has enough books, such students will be able to read and learn like others. This will surely improve the academic performance of the school.
Thirdly, the library will also help teachers in their work. Teachers need books and other materials to prepare good lessons for students. If the library is well equipped, teachers can make use of it to gather more information before teaching. This will make their lessons more interesting and easier for students to understand.
In addition, a modern library will improve the image of my school. Visitors, parents and other organizations will see that our school values education. It will also encourage more students to take their studies seriously.
I therefore kindly request that your organization should consider building a modern library for my school. We shall be very grateful if this project is carried out, because it will benefit both present and future students.
Thank you very much for your kindness and support. May your organization continue to grow and help more schools.
Yours faithfully,
Your Name here

Dear Sir/Madam,
A PROJECT NEEDED IN MY SCHOOL
I am writing this letter to thank your organization for organizing the competition which my school won recently. We were very happy when we heard that your non-governmental organization would carry out one project for our school. I am writing to suggest that your organization should help us build and equip a computer laboratory.
A computer laboratory is very important in a school. In this modern age, students need to know how to use computers. Many examinations and registrations are now done online. Also, many jobs today require basic computer knowledge. Unfortunately, my school does not have a good computer laboratory. The few computers we have are old, and most of them are not working well. Because of this, many students only learn computer studies in theory without enough practical work.
Firstly, a computer laboratory will help students to understand computer studies better. It is not enough for students to only read about the parts of a computer in their textbooks. They need to see and touch the computer, type with the keyboard, use the mouse and learn how to open simple programmes. If the school has a good computer laboratory, students will be able to practise what they are taught in class. This will make learning easier for them.
Secondly, the project will help students to prepare for the future. The world is becoming more advanced every day. A student who knows how to use a computer will have more opportunities than one who does not. Students can learn how to type, browse for useful information, make simple documents and do other basic computer work. These skills can help them after leaving secondary school.
Thirdly, a computer laboratory will help teachers in their work. Teachers can use the computers to prepare notes, questions and other learning materials. They can also teach students with pictures, videos and other useful materials. This will make their lessons more interesting and easy to understand.
Also, the project will improve the image of the school. Parents will be happy to know that their children are learning with modern equipment. It will also encourage students to take their studies more seriously because they will see that the school is improving.
I therefore kindly request that your organization should consider building and equipping a computer laboratory for my school. This project will be very useful to both the students and the teachers. It will also benefit many students who will attend the school in the future.
Thank you very much for your kindness and support. We shall be very grateful if our request is granted.

MEASURES STUDENTS SHOULD TAKE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST MALARIA
By a Concerned Student
Malaria is one of the common diseases that affects many people in our society. It is caused by the bite of an infected female mosquito. Many students suffer from malaria from time to time, and this affects their health, studies and general performance in school. A student who is sick with malaria may not be able to attend classes regularly or concentrate well while learning. Therefore, it is very important for students to take necessary steps to protect themselves against malaria.
The first measure students should take is to keep their surroundings clean. Mosquitoes usually breed in dirty places and stagnant water. Students should make sure that empty tins, broken bottles, old tyres and containers that can hold water are removed from their environment. Gutters should also be cleared regularly so that water can flow freely. In the school compound, students should join hands with the school authorities to keep the environment neat. When the surroundings are clean, mosquitoes will not have enough places to breed.
Another important measure is that students should sleep under treated mosquito nets. Mosquitoes usually bite people mostly at night when they are sleeping. A treated mosquito net helps to prevent mosquitoes from biting a person during sleep. Students who stay in hostels should make sure they use mosquito nets properly every night. Those who live at home should also encourage their parents to provide mosquito nets for them. It is not enough to own a mosquito net; it must be used regularly and correctly.
Students should also avoid exposing their bodies to mosquitoes, especially in the evening and at night. They should wear clothes that cover their bodies when mosquitoes are many. Long-sleeved shirts, trousers and socks can help to reduce mosquito bites. Students should also avoid sitting outside for too long in dark and bushy places because mosquitoes are usually found there. If they must stay outside, they can use safe mosquito repellent on their skin to protect themselves.
In addition, students should make sure that doors and windows are properly protected with nets. Mosquitoes can easily enter rooms through open windows and doors. If the windows are covered with nets, mosquitoes will find it difficult to enter the room. Students should also close doors early in the evening because that is the time mosquitoes often enter houses and hostels.
Furthermore, students should not ignore the early signs of malaria. Symptoms such as fever, headache, weakness, vomiting and body pain should be reported quickly to parents, teachers or health workers. Students should avoid treating themselves wrongly or buying drugs without proper advice. Going to the hospital or health centre early can prevent malaria from becoming serious.
In conclusion, malaria is a dangerous disease, but it can be prevented if students are careful. Keeping the environment clean, sleeping under treated mosquito nets, wearing protective clothes, using window nets and seeking medical help early are good ways to fight malaria. If students take these measures seriously, they will remain healthy and perform better in their studies.

HOW STUDENTS CAN PROTECT THEMSELVES AGAINST MALARIA
By Maryam Bello
Malaria is one of the common sicknesses that affects students in many parts of Nigeria. It is caused by the bite of an infected mosquito. When a student has malaria, he or she may suffer from fever, headache, weakness, body pain and loss of appetite. This can make the student miss classes and perform poorly in school. For this reason, students must learn how to protect themselves against malaria.
One important way students can protect themselves is by keeping their environment clean. Mosquitoes like to breed in dirty places, especially where there is stagnant water. Students should not allow empty tins, broken bottles, old tyres and dirty containers to stay around their houses or school compound. These things can collect water when rain falls. Gutters should also be cleared so that water will not remain in one place. If the school environment and home environment are clean, mosquitoes will not have many places to breed.
Another measure students should take is to sleep under treated mosquito nets. Mosquitoes usually bite people at night when they are sleeping. A treated mosquito net prevents mosquitoes from reaching the body. Students in hostels should make sure they sleep under mosquito nets every night. Students who live at home should also ask their parents to provide treated nets for them. It is not enough to hang the net in the room; the student must use it properly.
Students should also wear clothes that cover their bodies, especially in the evening. Mosquitoes are usually active in the evening and at night. A student who sits outside at night with short clothes can easily be bitten by mosquitoes. Long-sleeved shirts, trousers and socks can help to reduce mosquito bites. Students should also avoid staying for too long in bushy or dark places where mosquitoes are common.
Another useful measure is to protect doors and windows with nets. Many mosquitoes enter rooms through open doors and windows. If windows are covered with nets, mosquitoes will find it difficult to enter the room. Doors should also be closed early in the evening. This is very important for students who read at night because mosquitoes can disturb them and also infect them with malaria.
Students should also avoid self-medication when they notice signs of malaria. Some students buy drugs from shops without going to the hospital or health centre. This is not good because they may take the wrong medicine or wrong dosage. When a student has fever, headache or weakness, he or she should report to a parent, teacher or health worker. Early treatment can stop malaria from becoming serious.
In addition, schools should encourage students to take part in sanitation. The school compound should be swept regularly, bushes should be cleared, and dirty water should not be allowed to remain around the school. Students should see cleanliness as everybody’s duty, not only the duty of cleaners.
In conclusion, malaria is dangerous, but it can be prevented. Students can protect themselves by keeping their surroundings clean, sleeping under treated mosquito nets, wearing protective clothes, covering doors and windows with nets, and going for proper treatment when they are sick. If students follow these measures, they will stay healthy and concentrate better in their studies.

DEBATE
TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The Chairman, panel of judges, co-debaters, teachers and fellow students, I greet you all. My name is Chijindu Njoku, and I am here to support the motion which says that technical and vocational education should be made compulsory in secondary schools.
Technical and vocational education is the kind of education that teaches students how to do practical work with their hands. It includes things like carpentry, tailoring, computer work, farming, catering, electrical work, plumbing, hairdressing and many others. I support this motion because students should not only go to school to read books and pass examinations. They should also learn skills that can help them in life.
Firstly, it will help students to have something useful to do after school. Today, many young people finish secondary school and stay at home because they do not have money to continue their education immediately. If such students have learnt a skill in school, they can use it to help themselves. For example, a student who learnt tailoring can sew clothes for people. Another student who learnt computer work can type documents or help people with simple designs. This is better than staying idle at home.
Secondly, it will reduce the rate of unemployment. It is not everybody that will get an office job after school. Even many graduates are still looking for jobs. If students are trained in vocational skills from secondary school, they will not depend only on government work or white-collar jobs. Some of them can start small businesses with the skills they have learnt. With time, they may even employ other people.
Thirdly, technical and vocational education will help students to discover what they are good at. Some students may not be very good in subjects like Mathematics and English, but they may be very good in practical work. Some can repair things, cook very well, draw, farm or make things with their hands. If schools give them the chance to learn these things, they may become successful through their talents.
Also, this type of education will make learning more interesting. Students will not only sit in the classroom every day copying notes. They will also have time to practise what they are being taught. This can make many students love school more, especially those who enjoy practical work.
Some people may say that making it compulsory will disturb students from reading their normal subjects. I do not agree with them. If the school timetable is properly arranged, students can learn vocational skills without affecting their other subjects. It can even help them to understand life better.
For these reasons, I strongly support that technical and vocational education should be compulsory in secondary schools. It will help students to learn useful skills, reduce joblessness and give many students a better future.
Thank you.

TECHNICAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS
The Chairman, panel of judges, timekeeper, co-debaters, teachers and fellow students, I greet you all. My name is Maryam Bello, and I am here to support the motion which says that technical and vocational education should be made compulsory in secondary schools.
Technical and vocational education means the type of education that teaches students practical skills. It is not only about reading books and writing notes. It teaches students how to do things with their hands. Some examples are tailoring, farming, catering, carpentry, painting, computer work, electrical work, hairdressing and many others.
I support this motion because many students leave secondary school without any skill. Some of them may not be able to enter higher institution immediately because of lack of money or poor results. If such students have learnt one useful skill in school, they will not be completely helpless. They can use the skill to do small work and earn something for themselves.
Another reason is that vocational education can reduce too much dependence on parents. There are many young people who finish school and still depend on their parents for everything. This is because they do not know how to do any practical work. If students are taught skills in secondary school, they can start helping themselves little by little. A student who learns hairdressing can plait hair for people. Another one who learns computer work can type documents or help people with printing.
Also, this type of education will make school more useful. Some students are not very good in reading subjects, but they are good in practical things. There are students who can repair things, cook well, draw well or make beautiful designs. If schools only concentrate on classroom subjects, such students may feel that they are not intelligent. But when practical subjects are included, they will have the chance to show what they can do.
Technical and vocational education will also help to reduce joblessness. It is not possible for everybody to get office work. Even people who finish from universities sometimes find it difficult to get jobs. That is why students should be taught skills early. When they grow up, they can use the skills to start small businesses instead of waiting for government work.
Some people may say that vocational education will waste students’ time. I do not agree with this. If the school arranges the timetable well, students can learn both their normal subjects and practical skills. In fact, practical work can make students enjoy school more because they will not be reading and copying notes all the time.
For these reasons, I support the motion that technical and vocational education should be made compulsory in secondary schools. It will help many students to learn useful work, become more serious and prepare for life after school.
Thank you.

A REPORT OF THE BURGLARY I WITNESSED IN A DEPARTMENT STORE
My name is Tunde Adewale. I am a student of Victory College, Ibadan. I am writing this statement to report a burglary which I witnessed at Grace Department Store on Saturday evening.
The incident happened around 6:30 p.m. I went to the store to buy some provisions for my mother. There were not too many people in the store at that time. Some customers were picking items from the shelves, while others were waiting to pay at the counter.
As I was standing close to the counter, I noticed two young men enter the store. One of them was wearing a black cap and a brown jacket, while the other was wearing a blue shirt and black trousers. At first, they looked like normal customers, so nobody suspected them.
After some minutes, one of them moved to the shelf where body sprays, wristwatches and small phone accessories were kept. The second man stood near the entrance and kept looking around. I became suspicious because he was not picking anything from the shelf. He only stood there as if he was watching the people in the store.
Suddenly, the man near the shelf started putting some items into a small bag. One of the sales girls saw him and shouted, “Thief! Stop him!” Immediately she shouted, the man pushed her away and ran towards the door. The second man opened the door for him, and both of them rushed outside.
There was confusion in the store. Some customers shouted, while others moved back because they were afraid. The manager of the store quickly ran after the two men and called for help. I also came outside with some other customers.
The two men ran to a motorcycle that was waiting by the roadside. As they were trying to escape, a security man from the next building blocked the motorcycle. The rider lost control and fell down. One of the thieves was caught by people around, but the other man and the motorcycle rider escaped through a nearby street.
When the bag of the arrested man was opened, some stolen items were found inside it. They included body sprays, wristwatches, phone chargers and small packets of perfume. The store manager asked the people not to beat him and said the police should handle the matter.
I saw the arrested man clearly and I can identify him if I am called upon to do so. I can also identify the second man because he was tall, fair in complexion and was wearing a blue shirt. I believe the security camera in the store can also help the police in their investigation.
This is the true account of what I witnessed at Grace Department Store.

A REPORT OF THE BURGLARY I WITNESSED IN A DEPARTMENT STORE
My name is Bello Umar. I am a student of Government Secondary School, Kaduna. I am writing this report to explain what I saw during a burglary that happened at Royal Choice Department Store on Friday evening.
The incident took place at about 7:00 p.m. I had gone to the store to buy some biscuits, soap and exercise books for my younger brother. When I entered the store, there were many customers inside because people were buying things after work. The sales girls were busy attending to customers, while the cashier was collecting money at the counter.
As I was moving round the store, I noticed three young men standing near the section where phones, wristwatches and small electronic items were kept. They were talking quietly among themselves. At first, I thought they were customers, but after some minutes, I noticed that they were behaving in a suspicious manner. One of them kept looking at the cashier, while another one was watching the entrance.
Suddenly, one of the men brought out a small knife and ordered the sales girl near him to keep quiet. The other two quickly opened their bags and started putting some items into them. The sales girl became afraid and moved back. Some customers did not know what was happening at first because the men were acting fast.
A little boy who was standing close to the shelf shouted, “Thief! Thief!” Immediately he shouted, there was confusion in the store. Some customers started running towards the door, while others hid behind the shelves. The three men tried to escape with the stolen items. One of them pushed down a woman who was carrying a baby, but some men in the store helped her up quickly.
The security man at the entrance tried to stop them, but one of the burglars threatened him with the knife. As they rushed outside, the security man blew his whistle and shouted for help. People around the store quickly came out. Two of the burglars ran into the street and escaped, but the third one fell down while trying to jump over the gutter.
Some people caught him and collected the bag from him. Inside the bag, there were two phones, some wristwatches, phone chargers and other items taken from the store. The manager of the store quickly called the police. When the police arrived, the arrested man was handed over to them.
I saw the face of the arrested man clearly. He is dark in complexion, of average height and was wearing a red T-shirt and black jeans. I can also recognize one of the men who escaped because he had a scar on his left cheek and was wearing a yellow cap.
This is the true account of what I witnessed at Royal Choice Department Store. I am ready to give more information if the police need my help.

Dear Samuel,
I was very happy to receive your letter last week. I was also glad when I read that you wanted to know how I always come top in my class. Thank you for the good words you wrote about me. I do not think I am the most brilliant student in the school, but I try my best to do the right things at the right time.
The first thing that helps me is that I pay attention in class. Whenever a teacher is teaching, I try not to play or talk with my friends. I listen carefully and write down important points. Some students think they can understand everything later, but I have found out that the best time to understand a topic is when the teacher is explaining it. If I do not understand anything, I ask questions before the lesson ends.
Another thing I do is that I read my books every day. I do not wait until examination is near before I start reading. When I come back from school and rest for some time, I bring out my books and revise what we were taught that day. This helps me to remember things easily. It also makes examination period less difficult for me because I will not be trying to read everything at once.
I also have a personal timetable which I follow. The timetable helps me to know the subject I should read each day. I give more time to the subjects I find difficult, especially Mathematics and Basic Science. I do not always follow the timetable perfectly, but I try as much as possible to obey it. Without a timetable, it is easy to waste time without knowing.
Another important habit is that I do my assignments by myself. I may ask for help when I am confused, but I do not like copying everything from another person. Assignments help me to know whether I truly understand what I was taught in class. When I make mistakes, I learn from them and try to do better next time.
I also avoid bad friends. Some students do not like reading, and they laugh at those who take their studies seriously. I try not to spend too much time with such people. My close friends are students who also want to do well. Sometimes we read together and ask one another questions. This has helped me a lot.
Lastly, I pray and rest well. Reading is good, but too much worry is not good for the brain. I make sure I sleep well, especially when examination is close. I also ask God to help me remember what I have read.
My dear friend, these are the things I do that help me come top in class. You can also do the same if you are serious and patient. Do not be discouraged if you do not see the result immediately. Just continue to work hard, and I believe you will improve greatly.
Extend my greetings to your parents and your younger sister. I hope to hear from you soon.
Your friend,
Daniel

Dear Musa,
I was very happy when I received your letter yesterday. It was nice to hear from you again after a long time. I also read the part where you asked me to explain how I always come top in my class. I do not have any secret, but there are some things I do which help me in my studies.
The first thing I do is that I take my studies seriously from the beginning of the term. I do not wait until examination is close before I start reading. Many students play too much when school resumes and only begin to read when test or examination is near. I try to avoid that mistake. Once we are taught a topic in class, I revise it at home so that I will not forget it.
Another thing that helps me is paying attention to my teachers. When a teacher is teaching, I listen carefully and write down important points. I do not like disturbing others or playing in class because it can make me miss important explanations. If I do not understand a topic, I ask questions. Sometimes I also meet the teacher after the lesson to explain it again to me.
I also make sure I do my assignments on time. Assignments help me to understand the topics better. I do not copy from my classmates because copying will not help me in the examination hall. Even when the work is difficult, I try it first before asking for help. This has helped me to know my weak areas.
My timetable is also very useful to me. I have a small reading timetable which I follow at home. I read different subjects on different days. I give more time to the subjects that are difficult for me. For example, I spend more time on Mathematics because it requires constant practice. The timetable helps me not to waste my evening after school.
Another thing I do is that I move with serious students. A student’s friends can help or spoil him. I do not keep friends who only talk, play and make noise all the time. My close friends are students who also want to pass. Sometimes we ask ourselves questions and correct one another.
Lastly, I try to rest well and avoid unnecessary worry. Reading is good, but the brain also needs rest. I sleep well, especially before examinations, so that I can remember what I have read. I also pray to God to help me.
My dear friend, these are the things that help me come top in class. You can try them too. Be serious, be patient and do not give up easily. I believe that if you follow these steps, your performance will improve.
Greet your parents and your brother for me. I hope to hear from you soon.
