Letter to the Editor

A newspaper that you read regularly is conducting a campaign to encourage schools to teach more relevant subjects, or 'life' skills. Its editor has asked readers to write short articles based on the following question:
What essential topics do you wish had been included in the school curriculum when you were a pupil?

Write the article to the editor of the newspaper. (around 280 - 320 words)

I will be looking for the following:
An introduction that will grab the reader’s attention
2-3 main body paragraphs
A memorable conclusion
A number of the new phrases you have learnt in today’s lesson (at least 10 – and highlight them!)
The appropriate level of formality
Does one paragraph clearly link to the previous one?
Topic sentences, paticularly in the 2-3 main body paragraphs
Are you beginning your sentences in a variety of different ways?
