Dear ................. ,
There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:
1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.
2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.
3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You now find that you cannot continue the course. Write a letter to your teachers

Having multi talent, learning through out life becoming necessity for humans rather than dependent on one career option. This essay completely agree with this opinion. Firstly, will discuss why people are strict to single talent. Secondly, will explain what is the latest trend in people’ life style about their career and how they are utilising.
On one hand, previous day people strict to one talent or career option. They have several reasons. Firstly, very limited resource available to explore other options due to that they are not able to lean new things in their life and strict to single path. Secondly, family dependencies make them to work to support their families. So that, family persons not able to spend extra time or money on new career. For example, Recent survey conducted in Toronto by Human Life Style organisation reveled that who are in their fifties 90% have single career options because of financial problems and limited knowledge.
On other hand, these days people are multi talented from their childhood. Not only in studies and other activities like dance, music and community activities. People are choosing multi career options due to financial situations in the market. Few time they have to face recession, to face it they have to multi talent other wise they will be job less for more number of days. Recent markets are upgrading frequently, hence people are learning continuously to adopt the new changes in time and to have better earnings. For instance, World economic forum announced employees spending two hours per week to be in the market not for high earnings.
