Coordinator of 2ºBACH
High School Liceo Castilla
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am writing to expres my concern about all the exams we have.
I know that they are important and taht help us to improve our knowledge, but we have a lot.
First of all, I want to mark that in the last year of high school we don't have spare time, and the course is shorter. If we have two exams per week, we probably suffer estres.
And secondly, but not less important, we never can't go out the weekends due to the exams we always have on monday.
I strongly urge you to reject this problem.
I suggest you to set the exams in an other way.
I look forward to your replay.
Yours faithfully.
