The Greeting

Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.

Always start an informal letter in the ways:

Dear + name
Hi / Hello + name

‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.

For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:

Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.

Some people say it is more important to plant trees in the open spaces in towns and cities than to build more housing. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a view that the relative importance of planting trees in open spaces, such as cities or towns is better than building more accommodations for residents. While the construction of buildings has many positive effects, I believe that the growth of the number of trees can just only lead to the reduction of air pollution,but also provide the necessary equipment which is made from them.
