The Principal,
St. Georges College,
Agra.
Sir,
I want to bring to your attention that the fifteen minutes allotted for recess are not adequate for the students. We are not able to finish our tiffins properly in the allotted time. When the bell for recess rings, it takes us time to close our bags. Sometimes, the teacher is in the middle of a topic, so he takes some extra time before leaving us. Besides this, we have to go to the washroom, which takes some more time.
Often, we have to gobble up the food so quickly that it leads to choking. We are also not able to freshen ourselves up properly by spending some time playing and talking to our friends. Therefore, I request that you extend the break time from fifteen minutes to half an hour.
I am sure that you will look into my request, and the break time will be extended soon.
Yours sincerely,
Akarsh.
