Great! Let’s complete PART A, PART B, and PART C one by one: PART A – COMPOSITION 1. Letter to the Headteacher Suggesting Two New Subjects [Your Name] [Your Class] [Date] The Headteacher [Your School Name] Dear Sir/Madam, Subject: Suggestion for the Introduction of Two New Subjects I am writing to humbly suggest the inclusion of two new subjects in our school curriculum—Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Home Economics. Here are five reasons why these subjects are important: 1. ICT skills are essential in today’s digital world. Students will be better prepared for future jobs. 2. Home Economics teaches life skills, such as cooking, cleanliness, and basic budgeting. 3. These subjects make learning more practical and interactive. 4. They promote self-reliance and creativity among students. 5. They also help students discover and develop new talents and interests. I hope you will consider my suggestions and help improve our learning experience. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] 2. Article on Effects of Public Holidays on Teaching and Learning The Effects of Public Holidays on Teaching and Learning The government’s recent announcement of new public holidays has sparked debate among educators and students alike. While holidays are important for rest and celebration, they also impact teaching and learning in several ways. Firstly, public holidays reduce instructional time. Teachers are often forced to rush lessons or skip important topics to meet deadlines, which may affect students’ understanding of concepts. Secondly, frequent holidays can break the flow of learning. Regular school attendance helps students retain knowledge better, but too many breaks can lead to forgetfulness and poor academic performance. While holidays are necessary, they must be carefully balanced with the academic calendar to maintain effective teaching and learning. 3. Personal Story: “I will never compare myself with anyone again.” There was a time I believed I was not good enough. I constantly compared myself with my classmate, Kwame, who always came first in class. I used to feel I could never match his brilliance. One day, our teacher asked each student to prepare a project. I spent weeks building a model of a windmill, using everything I had learned. To my surprise, the teacher praised my work in front of the whole class and even used it as an example in other classes. It was then I realized that everyone has their unique strengths. Kwame may be good with books, but I was creative in a different way. I will never compare myself with anyone again.
