Dear Headmaster:

I am a student from Class 1, Grade 2.This week in our English class, we are learning a unit about first aid. In the course of learning this unit, we get to know that every year there are many people who get hurt or even killed because of some unexpected accidents. After discussion and searching the Internet, we think if we can learn some general knowledge at school, we can get some basic skills to save people's life as well as that of ourselves in the future. So we think that it is important and necessary to have this kind course in our school.

It's a pity that we have no such course in our school. But we think that course on first aid not only can bring us knowledge but also can encourage our willingness to help others, and this is the virtue you often tell us to bear in mind.

Given these reasons we think that the course of first aid is good to our students as well
