Write a persuasive paragraph (80‑100 words) urging your school principal to introduce a weekly reading club. Your paragraph must contain: (i) a clear statement of purpose, (ii) three distinct benefits, (iii) a counter‑argument acknowledging a possible concern, and (iv) a concluding sentence that reinforces your request.
Answer Options
A.
I propose a weekly reading club so that the cafeteria can generate extra revenue by selling snacks during the sessions. Frequent reading will boost literacy scores, sharpen analytical skills, and increase snack sales, benefiting the school budget. Although teachers might fear it cuts into instructional time, the club can run after school hours. Therefore, I respectfully ask you to approve the establishment of a reading club starting next term.
Correct Answer
B.
I propose that our school start a weekly reading club to nurture a love of books among students. Regular reading will boost literacy scores, sharpen analytical skills, and foster a sense of camaraderie as pupils discuss ideas together. Some may worry that it reduces time for other lessons, but a 45‑minute session can be scheduled during the existing free period and will complement our language curriculum. Therefore, I respectfully ask you to approve the establishment of a reading club starting next term.
C.
I suggest that our school create a weekly reading club to enhance students' enjoyment of literature. Regular reading will improve test scores, develop critical thinking, and provide a relaxing break from academics. Some may worry that it takes time away from core subjects, but a short 30‑minute session can be added to the lunch break without affecting lesson time.
D.
I recommend that our school launch a weekly reading club to improve students' athletic performance by teaching them strategic thinking used in sports. Regular reading will boost stamina, enhance teamwork on the field, and increase school spirit. Some may argue it distracts from physical training, but a 45‑minute session can replace a portion of the gym period and still support sports goals. Consequently, I hope you will consider this proposal for the next term.
