Dear College Dean,
     It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to enhance (improve) the
quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of
this school to promote education and to be the pioneer of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in
favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
     Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to
the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for
students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place
with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and
research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack
bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for
these things.
     We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasing'y important role in how we live.
As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them
prcpare for their future. Many students will be expecting to be familiar with the latest software and other tools
when they go on to work or to graduate school.
     While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect
students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Since students are competing for good
grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do
projects using the computer enhances the process of leaming.
     If there are more computers, no more will students have to wait in line while scanning the room for an
empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to
follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their
work more quickly.
     The more computers are used in society, the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and
learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process
casier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life.

A. to describe the problems caused by lack of computers

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment
