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.

Today's society provides people with various ways to lose weight, such as special diets or exercise regimes. Many people believe though that poor food and today's lifestyle should be addressed first. What is your opinion?
In modern day western society one can easily become obese, as the availability of cheap and unhealthy food is high. Nonetheless, many people desire to be healthy and slim and therefore have chosen to follow special diets or exercise regimes so as to not become obese. Others believe, however, that people should be better informed about today's unhealthy lifestyles and the poor food they are consuming before such diets and regimes are taken into consideration. Personally, I agree that the unhealthy lifestyle of many people must be addressed before thinking about ways of losing weight through special diets.

Art classes, such as painting and drawing, are as important to child's development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is considered that painting and drawing play a pivotal role in children's growth and should be a compulsory subject, while the others consider that amount of time learning such of those can be spent on Mathematics or English. Personally, this writer holds a belief that this art has a profound improvement on creativity and expression, however, it should not be learned in force because there are differences in the unequal abilities and interests of each individual.
