O Level Situational Writing: Funfair or Public Art Sale

Fellow committee members, we have been tasked to organise a fund-raising event for the Red Cross Society. The proceeds raised will help victims of the recent Thai tsuami. To that end, the event should be enjoyable and also budget friendly. With those objectives in mind, I propose that we have a public sale of last year's students' art works.

So everyone knows, our school, the De Lacelle, is a reputable art school and is ranked the top in our country. By holding  sale this event, it will attract art lovers to come from all over the country to buy our art pieces. The art pieces will be hung along the school corridors so that viewers can appreciate the work of our students and select their preferred pieces. They can then bid for the pieces at our auction. Students' parents are also encouraged to buy the art pieces to support their children in their pursuit of the arts. This will definitely give the students a sense of recognition and achievement for their accomplishment. It will also create greater buzz during the art sales and promote art appreciation among the visitors.

Personally, I feel that this is a better alternative as compared to the fun-and-food fair. This is partly due to the disadvantages of running a fun and food fair which involve a lot of planning such as for games and for food preparation. Also, the students would also need to carry out a mass cleaning-up which entails a lot of hassle as the school would end up being very dirty. In contrast, by running a public art sale, beside the benefits mentioned earlier, all the spaces used to store the art pieces will also be freed up to store the new works for the coming year.

In view of the upcoming public art sale, we will likely have a buzz of activites that will build up the good name of our school and assist the victims of the tsunami in Thailand at the same time. Let us put forth our best efforts to contribute to the success of this fund-raising event.
