A later start to the school day

Write an article for a magazine aimed at young people giving your views on this statement.
Build your argument by considering who might benefit from a later start and why. You could also consider possible effects on families, after-school activities or the organisation of the school day. Decide whether a later start would be a good change for everyone, or whether the answer depends on the school and its pupils.
Your response will be assessed for communication and organisation, and for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation. The total includes 16 marks for vocabulary, sentence structures, spelling and punctuation.
