PROPOSAL
PROPOSAL REGARDING THE
STUDENT LIBRARY IMPROVEMENTS
FAO:
Head of School
Introduction
Many years after its last refurbishment, our student
library is about to be improved. I would like to put forward some suggestions
in order to make affordable improvements, taking into account that a small
Budget is available.
Lighting
Our library lacks
sunlight since it is located on the ground floor. The library users have been complaining for years about the lighting,
not only because it is an old and unaesthetic system, but also due to the
inefficiency of the lamps.
I would strongly suggest adapting the lighting system
to the modern times, which necessarily implies acquiring LED lamps. I feel sure
that the initial expenses this improvement may cause will be worthy, because
this type of lighting will reduce our energy consumption, will provide much
better light quality and the library will look more attractive.
Refreshment facilities
Some students think our refreshment vending machine is
old and offers little variety of snacks and drinks. I believe it is in good
working order, though an additional refreshment service would satisfy
everybody. As an affordable suggestion, I would recommend inviting a Charity to
provide afternoon refreshment recipes. This could be considered an opportunity
of non-monetary swapping, since we offer them the benefits of a service to fund
their projects and they give us the service we need.
Conclusion
It is my firm believe that it is possible to improve
the student library for little expense. By changing the lighting system, we may
obtain a short and long-term benefit, both for us and the environment. On the
other hand, we could solve the refreshment problem through the cooperation with
a Charity.

PROPOSAL SAMPLE BY A C1 STUDENT
PROPOSAL TO IMPROVE THE STUDENT LIBRARY
To the Head
of Valladolid Language School
INTRODUCTION
The student library is an important part of the
Language School. It is a place where students can give their language learning
process a boost. The aim of this proposal, therefore, is to improve the
resources and facilities by using a small budget in order to carry out the
following suggestions:
ELECTRICITY AND LIGHTING
I strongly believe that more sockets are
needed. Nowadays, technology helps us with everything and learning a language
is no exception. Smartphones and laptops are powerful tools to work with, but utterly
useless if they run out of charge. Furthermore, I would like to recommend
replacing the regular light bulbs with LED bulbs. This little change will save
energy and money in the long term.
OUTSIDE AREAS
Many students come to the School by bicycle or
motorbike carrying helmets, backpacks, bags, etc. For this reason, I think that
it would be helpful if we provide them with lockers where they could keep all their
personal belongings. In addition, it would also be beneficial if we install vending
machines for coffee, sweets and snacks next to the lockers. In this way,
students who are in a hurry or just want to take a break from books could do so.
CONCLUSION
I hope that the proposed improvements could be
applied in the upcoming weeks. Money should not be a problem since these
recommendations are not really that expensive and they might have a very
positive impact. To summarise, these ideas would make the library a more welcoming
and comfortable space for everyone.
