Dear Mr.Wang,
I'm Tom,a student of our school.I'm writing to you to talk about the rules in our school. I love our school and I agree that students need strict rules.For example,we must get to school and finish our homework on time.We should not be allowed to have strange hair or wear earrings.Fighting,drinking and smoking are not allowed.Classrooms must be kept clean,and so on.
But I disagree that we have to wear uniforms every day.I think students should be allowed to wear their own clothes.We want to be different and beautiful.If we must do that,should we be allowed to design our school uniforms That is a good way to keep both teachers and students happy.Do you think so We look forward to your reply.
Yours,
Tom
