Answer 1

Read the following excerpt from a letter written by a student to his school administration.

The most important reason that our lunch period should be extended is so that all the students at Mountain Vista High School have a chance to eat. As it stands now, many students are unable to get through the lunch line and eat lunch. Even if the lunchroom staff are extremely efficient and are able to get everyone through the line, some students end up with only a few minutes to eat their lunch. I have spoken with the school nurse about this issue, and she says that eating too quickly is a very unhealthy habit. Consequently, some students have gotten so frustrated with the long lines that they have resorted to using the vending machines to get their lunch, and everyone knows that a candy bar and a can of soda is the worst possible lunch that a person can eat. The fact of the matter is that if the lunch period is extended, then all the students will make it through the lunchroom line and will be able to eat their lunch in a healthy way.
