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.

In some countries university students live at home with their family while they study, whereas in other countries students attend university in another city. Do you think the benefits of living away from home during university outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from own knowledge or experience.
Nowadays, studying in different cities has become more popular among the students of some countries while some of them from different regions still prefer to continue their studies staying at their parents' residence. In my opinion, I believe that studying in different cities has more positive sides than negative aspects and this essay will emphasize some of the points in favour of that statement.

There are contrasting views between students on whether is better to attend classes with frequent discussions or with traditional lectures and no discussion. I find myself agreeing more with those who prefer classes where there are frequent discussions between the professor and the students because I think that in this way students can benefit from them more.
