Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you to make some suggestions for the improvement of my fellow students’ physical condition. I notice they are spending much less time on physical exercises and, as a result, many have fallen prey to physical problems.
I would like to suggest: 1) the resumption of morning exercise organized by the school or department unions; 2) the better availability of facilities for physical exercise easily reachable from the dormitory area; 3) the better promotion on the importance of physical healthiness and good physical condition.
Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your reply to my suggestions.
Sincerely Yours,
Li Ming

③ resume → resumption 恢复;重新开始
④ avail → available → availability 可利用性(有用的)
⑤ promote → promotion 提高;促进;宣传
⑥ important → importance 重要性
⑦ health → healthiness 健康

① I am writing to you to make some suggestions for...
直接提出写信的目的,小作文中一般要求言简意赅,开门见山。
② I notice they are spending much less time on...and, as a result, many have fallen prey to...
建议信常用句型,旨在提出问题所在,意为“我注意到他们在.......方面花费的时间越来越少,最后导致很多人的.......出现不良状况”,说明某事越来越不受重视,从而导致一系列后果。
③ the better promotion on the importance of ...
常用建议套话,意为“更好地宣传......的重要性”。
