Dear Madam,

Each year, 11th graders from our school are given the opportunity to join a group of Israeli students and teachers going on a trip to Poland. This trip is very significant to Israelis and Jews in general and I want to take part in this important journey to concentration camps in Poland. However, I am writing to you because I wish to complain about the high price of the trip.

Because of the high price of this significant trip, many students, including me, can not afford to go on the trip, in spite of its importance. However, I know that the school tries to help by giving some scholarships to some pupils, who are in deep economic trouble, but it does not help them so much because the scholarships' value is low.

Thus, we can see that not a lot of students go on this journey. Joining this journey symbolises to me and many others a lot, and since I was young I wanted to go on this trip. However, it will be an unfulfilled dream of mine because I don't have the requried money.

In conclusion, I am very disappointed with the school's involvement in this issue. I would appriciate this school much more if it gave higher scholarships, but if it is not possible, I would like to hear some other solutions.

Yours truly,

Reut Shiran.

This is better. Good work.
