School cafeteria
Task
Your headteacher has asked you to report on the school cafeteria. Describe its current condition, summarise students’ opinions and recommend improvements.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The aim of this report is to assess the school cafeteria, summarise students’ views and recommend practical improvements.
Current situation
The cafeteria is spacious and conveniently located near the gym. However, queues are often long at lunchtime, and the menu changes very little from week to week. Although staff are generally helpful, service becomes slow when several classes arrive together.
Student feedback
A short survey showed that most students would like healthier meals and more vegetarian choices. Many also complained that hot food is sometimes served cold. On the positive side, prices were considered reasonable.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the school introduce a rotating menu with more fresh options. A separate queue for drinks and packed lunches would reduce waiting times. Finally, a simple online feedback form should be created so that students can comment regularly.
Conclusion
These changes would make the cafeteria healthier, quicker and more attractive to students.
Computer room
Task
The principal is planning to renovate the school computer room. Report on how it is used, identify the main problems and suggest improvements.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to describe how the computer room is currently used, identify its main weaknesses and suggest priorities for renovation.
Present use
Students use the room for research, presentations and technology lessons. Teachers can also reserve it for project work. Demand is high, particularly before examinations, and the room is frequently unavailable without an advance booking.
Problems
Several computers take a long time to start, while others cannot run newer educational software. There are too few power sockets, the chairs are uncomfortable and the room becomes very warm in the afternoon. Technical problems also remain unresolved for days.
Recommendations
The oldest computers should be replaced and reliable technical support should be available during school hours. Additional sockets, adjustable chairs and improved ventilation would create a more practical workspace. An online booking system could also ensure fair access.
Conclusion
These measures would make the room more efficient, comfortable and useful for all subjects.
Extracurricular activities
Task
The student council wants to expand extracurricular activities. Describe the current programme, report students’ views and recommend new options.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
This report reviews the school’s present extracurricular programme, summarises student feedback and recommends possible additions.
Current provision
The school currently offers football, basketball, drama and debating. These activities are well organised, but most are held on the same two afternoons. As a result, students with other commitments may be unable to participate.
Student views
According to a recent questionnaire, sports remain popular, although many students would welcome more creative and technological activities. Photography, coding, music production and an environmental club received the strongest support.
Recommendations
It is recommended that two new clubs be introduced on a trial basis: coding and photography. Activities should also be spread across the week, and students with relevant skills could assist teachers. Posters and short demonstrations during assembly would increase awareness.
Conclusion
A wider and more flexible programme would encourage greater participation and allow more students to develop their interests.
Study room
Task
The headteacher is considering improvements to the study room. Explain how it is used, describe its problems and recommend changes.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The aim of this report is to evaluate the school study room and suggest ways of making it more suitable for independent work.
Current use
The room is mainly used during breaks and after lessons by students who need a quiet place to revise. It contains desks, reference books and a small number of computers. Nevertheless, it is often less than half full.
Problems identified
Noise from the corridor makes concentration difficult. The lighting is weak, several chairs are damaged and there are not enough sockets for laptops. In addition, students sometimes hold conversations despite the room being intended for silent study.
Recommendations
Sound-absorbing panels should be installed and the lighting and furniture replaced. Clear rules about noise should be displayed and monitored. More sockets and a small area for group work would also make the room useful for different study needs.
Conclusion
With these changes, the room could become a comfortable and well-used learning space.
Mobile phone policy
Task
Your school is reviewing its mobile phone policy. Report on current use, explain the problems and recommend changes.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
This report examines how mobile phones are currently used at school, outlines the main concerns and recommends changes to the existing policy.
Current situation
Students may bring phones to school, but devices must remain switched off during lessons unless a teacher permits their use. At break times, phones can be used freely in most common areas.
Problems
Some students secretly check messages in class, which affects concentration. Teachers have also reported photographs being taken without permission. Furthermore, many students spend entire breaks looking at screens instead of socialising or exercising.
Recommendations
Phones should be stored in bags during lessons and used only in designated areas at break time. The school should introduce clear consequences for misuse and provide workshops on privacy, cyberbullying and responsible digital behaviour.
Conclusion
A clearer policy would reduce disruption while still allowing students to use phones when genuinely necessary.
Cultural Week
Task
Your English teacher has asked you to recommend how the school could organise a Cultural Week. Explain the benefits, suggest activities and give practical recommendations.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to explain the potential benefits of a Cultural Week and recommend activities and arrangements for the event.
Benefits
A Cultural Week would allow students to learn about different traditions in an enjoyable way. It could also promote teamwork, creativity and respect for the many backgrounds represented in the school community.
Suggested activities
Popular options would include international food stalls, student presentations, language workshops, traditional games and film screenings. Music and dance performances could be held at the end of the week to involve families.
Organisation
A committee of students and teachers should plan the programme and assign responsibilities. Activities ought to take place during both lesson time and lunch breaks so that everyone can participate. Clear information about costs and food allergies would also be essential.
Conclusion
If carefully organised, a Cultural Week would enrich school life and strengthen the sense of community.
Student stress
Task
The headteacher is concerned about student stress. Report on its main causes and effects, and recommend ways the school could help.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
This report identifies the principal causes and effects of stress among students and recommends measures the school could take.
Main causes
Feedback collected from three classes suggests that heavy workloads, several deadlines in the same week and pressure to achieve high marks are the most common causes. Some students also struggle to balance schoolwork with sports, family duties or part-time jobs.
Effects
Stress frequently leads to tiredness, poor concentration and sleep problems. A number of students reported becoming less motivated, while others missed lessons because they felt overwhelmed.
Recommendations
Teachers should coordinate major deadlines more carefully and avoid unnecessary homework during examination periods. Short sessions on planning and relaxation could be offered, together with easier access to counselling. A quiet wellbeing room would also give students somewhere to recover during difficult days.
Conclusion
These measures could reduce pressure and support both student wellbeing and academic performance.
Gym facilities
Task
The head of Physical Education wants to improve the school gym. Report on its current use and problems, and recommend improvements.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The aim of this report is to assess the school gym, describe its current use and recommend improvements to its facilities.
Current use
The gym is used for physical education lessons, after-school sports clubs and occasional school events. It is particularly busy during winter, when outdoor activities have to move indoors.
Problems identified
Much of the equipment is old, and several exercise mats and balls need replacing. Ventilation is poor, changing rooms are too small and there is limited storage. Students also reported that the gym is rarely available for informal exercise after lessons.
Recommendations
Damaged equipment should be replaced first, followed by improvements to ventilation and storage. Extending opening hours twice a week would allow supervised recreational use. A simple timetable displayed online would help clubs and classes avoid booking conflicts.
Conclusion
These changes would make the gym safer, more comfortable and accessible to a greater number of students.
Classroom technology
Task
The headteacher is considering greater use of technology in lessons. Report on present use, benefits and problems, and recommend improvements.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
This report evaluates the current use of classroom technology, considers its advantages and disadvantages, and recommends improvements.
Present use
Most rooms contain digital whiteboards, and teachers regularly use videos, presentations and online learning platforms. Students sometimes use school tablets or their own laptops for research and collaborative tasks.
Benefits and problems
Technology can make lessons more interactive and provide immediate access to current information. However, the wireless connection is unreliable, some devices are outdated and not all teachers feel confident using them. Students may also become distracted by games or messages.
Recommendations
The school should improve its internet connection and replace the oldest devices. Practical training would help teachers choose suitable digital tools. Clear rules should also specify when personal devices may be used and how student data must be protected.
Conclusion
With reliable equipment, training and sensible rules, technology could support learning more effectively.
Talent show
Task
The headteacher is considering a school Talent Show. Report on its possible benefits, suitable performances and how the event should be organised.
Write 140–190 words.
Introduction
The purpose of this report is to consider the benefits of a school Talent Show and recommend suitable performances and arrangements.
Potential benefits
The event would give students an opportunity to develop confidence and present skills that are not usually seen in lessons. It could also improve school spirit and raise money for a chosen charity.
Possible performances
Singing, dancing, instrumental music, comedy, poetry and short theatre pieces would provide a varied programme. Short films or demonstrations of unusual skills could also be included, provided they are safe and suitable for a school audience.
Organisation
Students should register in advance and attend a brief audition. A mixed committee could select acts and arrange sound, lighting and rehearsal times. Tickets should be inexpensive, and clear rules would be needed to keep performances within the available time.
Conclusion
A well-planned Talent Show would be entertaining, inclusive and beneficial to the wider school community.
