PROPOSAL FOR OVERSEAS TRIP

This is my proposal for the overseas trip that you are keen on. The objectives of this overseas trip are to broaden their horizons, aware of the cultures and be a global citizen. After going through the three brochures you have provided, the councilors and I have chose Hanoi as the most suitable country for the students to visit.

Firstly, they will be more aware of what the Vietnamese had gone through in the past. They will be able to witness the thousands of exhibits and authentic photographs of the victories of the Vietnamese people as they struggled for peace and independence.

Secondly, they will also be able to see the imprints left behind by the past dynasties; visiting the cultural sites, viewing the rich architecture and majestic pagodas. This also includes visits to handicraft centers, war museums, and viewing of traditional music and dance performances. This will help the students boost their awareness of the Vietnamese culture.

We specifically chose Hanoi as it is the most worth it, considering that the cost includes three daily meals if we sign up for a guided tour. The students will also be able to enjoy the trip and learn to appreciate their culture. They will have more new experiences and develop a sense of belonging to their own country, appreciating for what they currently have. We thought that this would be rather safe as the tour is guided, hence this will minimize the chances of placing the students in danger.

I personally think that this is the best choice and therefore, I hope that you will take on this suggestion and approve it. Thank you.

PROPOSAL FOR OVERSEAS CULTURAL TRIP

Good Afternoon, Mr Ang, I am here to explain which one of the three options for the overseas trip the student councils have decided to select and the reasons of it. All of us know that to have a pleasant trip, education is necessary in the trip and budget should not be crossed unnecessarily, but not forgetting to maximise the value of the trip. We have come to the decision of choosing Hanoi, Vietnam as the destination. So here are some reasons on why we chose Hanoi.

The objective by the end of the trip is that we hope the students get to learn the culture, history and tradition of Vietnam. At the same time gaining experience of taking care of themselves and staying 10 days overseas with their friends. After the trip they are also able to share their adventurous experience with their schoolmates which will also broaden the knowledge of their friends about Vietnam.

All of us are living in this modern world where other countries’ culture is not something we are familiar with. In this trip, students will be brought to the traditional village where they can learn how to make some handicraft, and they will also be brought to the pagodas and some cultural sites such as the war museums to learn about the history behind it.

The students are also able to exchange culture with the Vietnamese residents and watch spectacular traditional music and dance performance played by the. Vietnam is our neighbouring country thus with first-hand experience with the Vietnam culture, the students are able to expand their knowledge on our neighbouring countries. 

In conclusion, as the perspective of the President of the Student Council, I thus feel that trip to Hanoi holds the most value for the students in terms of education and experience. It will definitely be an amazing trip which the students will never forget!

PROPOSAL FOR SCHOOL’S CULTURAL TRIP TO HANOI

Dear principal,

I the president of the student council has decided to  choose  the “Visit to Hanoi !For just $988” for the cultural trip .

We have chosen this trip as it has the most culture in the country. It also comes at a reasonable sitting nicely in between the highest and the lowest values of $1699 to $688.Therefor we have chosen this Hanoi visit over the trip to Australia and China.

Basically why China was rejected was that its safety level is very much lower in fact, the China has the lowest safety level amongst the three countries. Based on the crime rates, Hanoi has a much lower crime rate than China. Therefore Hanoi is safer than China.

Australia maybe the best country of them all, being the safest and the most modern; but it is too expensive and it does not really focus much on the cultural aspects as much as Hanoi.

Furthermore, Hanoi has over a thousand year collection of history. Its museums trips and visits during the ten days visit can enable the students to learn more.

The other reason Hanoi was chosen was because of the long period of ten days given for the holiday. This extended period of time is what makes the Hanoi trip more valuable and productive.

In order to ensure the increase in cultural awareness of our students, I do hope that our school’s students would come to Hanoi and see for themselves the imprints left behind by past dynasties. I am sure that those rich architectures, cultural sites, majestic pagodas, will enrich their knowledge after being witnessed. Thank you for your time.

PROPOSAL ON WHICH DESTINATION TO GO FOR THE TRIP

  I am Acolex, the President of the Student Council, and I am speaking on the behalf of the Student Council. All of us are glad that you are keen on providing us with the opportunity to broaden their horizons by traveling overseas. You had kindly provided us with three options to ponder upon. After much deliberation, we had decided to choose to head over to the province of China.

  According to the various researches we conducted on Sydney, Hanoi and China, we discovered that China is the best place to visit in terms of safety. It has the lowest crime rate among the three cities. In Sydney, there is a high chance for the students to be victims of racism as citizens of Australia are notorious for racism. As a result, students might suffer from emotional distress. In Hanoi, it is oblivious that there is a brief history of pedophilic events. As a result, the students might fall prey to perverts.

  As you know, a trip to China would cost lesser than a trip to Sydney or Hanoi. For one person, it would cost an approximate sum of six hundred and eighty eight Singapore dollars. This is affordable as compared to the one thousand six hundred and ninety nine dollars for a trip to Sydney and the nine hundred and ninety eight dollars for a trip to Hanoi. This means that more money would be saved for the school and this money saved could be used up for future school events.

  If the trip to China was made possible, students who go on this trip would be able to gain the experience of climbing a mountain, which is Mount HuangShan. Students would be able to be more appreciative of Chinese culture and be more aware of Chinese history.

  I hope that you would consider of what was mentioned above and let the students to head over to China for the educational trip.

  Our school will be providing students with the opportunity to travel overseas to broaden their horizons. The student councilors have come to a conclusion that we should go to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. I am going to explain to you why we chose Vietnam as the destination.

     

    The reason why we chose Vietnam is because the students will be able to learn more about the history and culture there. There are many cultural sites which include war museums and many other places which will enrich the students awareness of other cultures. Moreover, there are three daily meals provided and a guided tour. This will ensure our students safety and comfort.

     Hence , I strongly urge for my choice to be considered as it covers all the areas concerned.

     Thank you for your precious time.
