Have you ever heard about Guy Fawkes Night in Britain Do you know its origin
The tradition of Guy Fawkes Night actually began the very same year as the failed Gunpowder Plot. The Plot was failed on the night between the 4th and 5th of November 1605. Already on the 5th, agitated Londoners who knew little more than that their King had been saved, joyfully lit bonfires in thanksgiving. People placed effigies of Guy Fawkes onto bonfires, and fireworks were added to the celebrations.

Untidy dining area in school People drop litter and don’t pick it up Posters and monitors to make sure litter is collected by those who drop it
Dear Sir or Madam,
I hate untidy dining halls and ours is particularly dirty. People seem to treat it as if it were a rubbish area. They leave the leftover food about, on the table or on the floor. This makes the hall look particularly unpleasant for other people who come to eat there.
But I have several solutions. First, make people pick up their own litter. We can do this by asking some of the older students to walk around the hall and watch out for those that drop litter. Second, we can put posters around
Sample writing
The hall asking people to be more thoughtful for others. They should leave the hall as they would wish to find it. Third, we can make those who are found dropping litter stay behind. They can tidy up the hall after all the students have finished their meal.
I hope you find my ideas useful.
Thank you for any help you can give.
Yours sincerely,
Lily
