How do you like your school? Have you ever written to your headmaster to express your idea? Here are some letters written by students from different schools.

Luke, 14, from Jiangsu

I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school, we students have to wear uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports kit(服装)looks really dark and old. It can’t stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colors and make a new type of uniform. I hope our headmaster will think about it.

Danny, 14, from Zhejiang

I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First of all, I think we should have more hobby classes in science , such as plane model making class and computer programming class. It is really boring to study basic subjects all the time. And second, I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise. Lots of students now don’t have a strong enough body.

Sam, 15, from Shanxi

I’d like to say thank you to my headmaster. About one week ago, I got a bad cold after playing basketball. Our headmaster came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.

Helen, 14, from Shandong

In the letter I wrote, I want to talk about the possibility of personal(个性化的)classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class” system. Students don’t have regular classes. They can choose lessons they want to take. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise. We don’t have to stay in one classroom all the time.

Americans think that travel is good for people. Some even think it can help one of the country’s worst problems—crime(犯罪).

Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all. There are problems with alcohol(酒精) and drugs.

There are many young criminals(罪犯) in prison(监狱). But prison doesn’t change them—60 to 70 percent(百分比) will go back to crime when they come out of prison.

One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a hard life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help their friends in time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob started “Vision Quest”.

He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(货车) 3,000 miles through 7 states. They are on the road for more than one year.

The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance.

It’s hard work on the road. The day starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horses. That love can help them to a new life.

Not all young people in Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Thirty or forty percent till one day be in prison again. But that’s a lot better than 60 or 70 percent. Bob is right. Travel can be good for them.

Even today, Americans still say, “Go west, young men.”
