 insufficient table and benches

Title : A Report On the School Canteen

I am writing this report is to draw your attention regarding the school canteen. Many
of the students of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Permata are unhappy about the conditions
at the school canteen. There were a lot of complaints regarding this issue.

In the first place, there are insufficient tables and benches (C1). Our school has
over 1 000 students and there is only one period of recess time for all forms. Unfortunately,
there are only about twenty-five tables and fifty benches which can accommodate less than
half the number of students. As a result, many students have to stand while eating.

The hygiene and preparation of food leave a lot to be desired. The food and drinks
are not covered(C1). They way canteen attendants dress speak volume about hygiene. With
their lackadaisical attitude, the food they sell would one way or the other become
contaminated.

The food sold at the canteen not only expensive but lacks of variety too. The menu is
the same every day. For the past 2 years, ever since the present canteen management took
over, students go back to the same food.

My fourth complaint about the canteen pertains to the etiquette of the canteen
workers. They are rude and arrogant. They often shout at students. The students are always
on the receiving end of their bad moods.

We hope that conditions at the canteen will improve. The canteen should provide
better amenities. There should also be a different menu everyday so that students will not
have to taste the same food day in and day out. Cleanliness should be given top priority.

We hope that you will look into our complaints and take steps to remedy the situation.
The students are prepared to boycott the canteen if their complaints go unheeded.
