You received a letter from your good friend and former classmate. He is
now studying in another town. He has written to express his doubts about
accepting the post of head prefect in his school. Write a letter to
encourage him to accept the post. |

How are you? It was certainly good to hear from you and to know you are
making good progress in school. It is hard
to believe that three years have passed since you left for Penang.
So you have been selected as next year's head prefect. That's a good thing. It
means your teachers and schoolmates recognize the qualities you have. I can't
imagine why you are hesitant about accepting the post. I think you should accept
it as I have no doubt that you will do an excellent job.
As I said, you have all the qualities required. Everyone says you are a reliable
and responsible person. When you are given something to do, you always carry it
out perfectly. Besides, you are friendly and considerate. Almost everybody seems
to be your friend. It must be because you always have such a cheerful
expression. You seem to be able to attract friends. I do not think you will
abuse your position either. You are too honest for that kind of thing. I am sure
you will be liked by all the students of the school. In fact, I am convinced
that you will be a good role model for them. You are an
all-rounder: you excel in your studies and also in sports and
other co-curricular activities. I know that you are good at debating and chess.
Many students will admire you and want to be like you.
I think I can guess what is bothering you. You are afraid your duties may
interfere with your studies especially since you are now in upper secondary. You
need to study hard for the SPM. However, I don't think you need to worry. You
are a very disciplined and consistent student. You hardly ever
procrastinate. Have you ever handed in
homework late? I don't think so. You always revise your daily class work and are
always ahead of the others in class. Your studies will definitely not be
affected.
Barry, I think you will be an excellent head prefect. I am so glad that your
school recognizes your potential. Go ahead and take up the challenge. It is a
wonderful opportunity. Do let me know how you get on. I always look forward to
hearing from you. |
