    Why You Should Vote for me in the


    Student Council Elections
    Good afternoon, my name is Natalie Hicks and I would like to explain why you should vote for
    me in the student council elections on May 1st.

    I have been attending this school since I was 5 years old so I care a lot about what happens
    here. I learned to read at this school, I lost my first tooth at this school and I have enjoyed
    every minute of my time here. However, I think that together we could make some changes
    that would benefit everyone.

    Have you ever wondered what recess would be like if the equipment we had was even better?
    How about if you got to choose how any money raised at the school was spent? I plan to
    arrange new and exciting fundraising opportunities and then ask you - the children - what we
    should spend our money on to make sure we have the best equipment possible.

    Furthermore, I will make an excellent school councillor because I have really good ideas. I
    have shown this in my school work and in my enterprise projects. I know what children at this
    school want because I have a lot of friends and I talk to lots of people. I am good at talking to
    adults – it always says so on my school reports.

    Additionally, I am trustworthy and honest. This is an extremely important


    quality in a school councillor. If my friends tell me a secret, they can
    depend on me not to tell anyone else. Just the other day I found $5 in
    the playground and handed it straight in to the office.

    I have explained why I am undoubtedly the best candidate for


    this position. I know the school, I have good ideas which I can
    communicate and I am reliable and honest. Vote for me!

    Dear Mr. Jones,


    I am writing to you because I would like to see harsher penalties imposed on dog owners
    who allow their pets to foul the pavements and not clear up the mess. I see new piles of
    dog waste every day when I walk to school. I feel very strongly that this is not acceptable
    and I would like you to do something about it.

    Children especially do not look at the ground as carefully as adults because they are often
    playing or skipping or running. Obviously, they are much more likely to step in dog mess.
    This has happened to me several times recently and also to many of my friends.

    When you get dog mess on your shoes, everyone knows about it. The horrid smell makes
    you feel ashamed, almost as if everyone is looking at you and you often have to take your
    shoes off and leave them outside or run the risk of getting poo all over you when you try
    to clean your shoes. Why should children be made to feel like this?

    If people choose to own dogs, then they should make sure that the pavements are left
    suitable for everyone to use. It is totally obvious that clearing up dog mess is just as much
    a part of owning a dog as feeding it or taking it for walks. If owners are not prepared to
    clean up after their dog, then they should not own one.

    In summary, I am fed up of ordinary people, particularly children, suffering while they


    go about their daily business as a result of the laziness of some dog owners. While I
    appreciate that most dog owners take their responsibilities seriously, I think that those
    who don’t should pay a much heavier penalty.

    Yours sincerely,

    Mr. I. Trodinit.

    Why There Should Be a Television


    Programme for Women’s Football
    Anyone who likes football can close their eyes and hear their AFL team’s theme song. They
    can hear the crowd noise, imagine the football sailing through the goal posts and picture
    the players celebrating another goal. However, the players are always men. Why? I strongly
    believe that women’s football should be given equal billing with men’s football and that would
    include having the same programme for women each week.

    Women’s football is a popular and growing sport and should be represented on TV. Football is
    one of the most popular team sports for women, the crowds at games are getting bigger and
    the skill levels are even better than those in the men’s game. It is time to give women’s football
    equal standing on TV.

    Girls who enjoy playing football should have access to role models that can be a positive
    influence for them. Not many people know the names of women’s football stars. If girls could
    be more familiar with women who have become professional players, they would be more
    likely to train hard to try and achieve the same thing.

    It is hugely important to give boys and girls equal rights in everything. Females are paid on
    average less than males and are not represented equally in films. As AFL
    is the national sport in Australia, it makes really good sense
    for football to lead the way in this. Wouldn’t you like to
    have a world where everybody is treated equally?

    Undoubtedly, the time has come to air a


    television programme for women too. This
    would be the perfect way to provide
    positive role models for girls and combat
    inequality. The time is now.
