If I had to move to another English-speaking country so that I could study there, I would personally choose to travel to England. This is because I find British culture to be very interesting, and England has extremely beautiful scenery. After year 11 is also a perfect time to join a British school, since that is when they end what they call “secondary school”. This means that I wouldn’t start in the middle of high school as I would in some other countries, but instead start the first year of “sixth form”.

Hello Noor
The most important thing that you need to change in your e-mail is the formality. Put simply, your e-mail was written in extremely informally. This might be okay when you are talking with me, however it is completely different when you are sending a message to your principal. At first, I would advise you to write “dear principals name”. At the start of your paragraph you should introduce yourself, so that your principal knows who they’re talking to. Instead of saying “I am sick of the lack of afterschool activities and school trips”, consider telling him that “I am here to talk to you about the lack of afterschool activities and school trips”. When you are writing it as you were you almost seem angry, which is not what you want to communicate to the principal. This leads me into my main point, not only is your language informal, it is extremely negative. Remove phrases such as “I am sick”, “but no us, no way”, “boring!!!”, “nothing for us kids”, “take them seriously, or else” and “it’s been so booooring lately”. The phrases that you chose to use are intended for close friends, and many of them sounded like you were planning on hurting him. The “I suggest you take them seriously, or else!” is an extremely good example of this. I am not completely sure what you were thinking when writing that sentence, however it needs to go. Directly threatening your principal is likely to put you into a lot of trouble and will not help your case. Your recommendations for places to visit were not bad, however do not keep the part about the luxury bus, and do not mention mode of transport at all. The “pls, pls, pls” also needs to be removed as any type of slang or text speech should be completely out of sight. At the end, replace the “OUT”, with “Kind regards” or “Best”.
