Dear Madam,
Every year, your students are given the opportunity to be a part of an extremely significant and educational journey to Poland. I am writing because I wish to complain about the exaggerated price of the trip, which prevents a lot of students from attending this life changing journey.
This trip is known for its great relevance and importance to every teenager in Israel. Therefore, it is unfair that a large group of students, who cannot afford to go on that trip, has to cope with the unbearable feeling of missing that important journey. They hear about the trip's significant influence on their friends, knowing they cannot experience it themselves.
Moreover, it is against the democratic values that some of us are not able to go through this important journey just because of their financial state. Educating everyone equally is one of the main objectives of our country, and this journey is definitely one of the most important forms of education our school system is able to provide. Thus, I strongly believe the price should be lowered, since it is such a shame that it is preventing this valuable experience from those of us who cannot afford it.
In conclusion, I believe that the Journey to Poland is a Journey that has a great importance in our education, and therefore, should not be exclusive for those of us who have the means to pay for it. Such an activity should be at least partially funded by the Government, so that the price can be lowered. I hope you will do your best making this influential journey accessible for every student who wishes to take part in it.
I look forward to a prompt reply.
Yours truly,
Amir Zloter
Excellent, as always.
