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 university students want to learn about other subjects in addition to their main subjects. Others believe it is more important to give all their time and attention to studying for a qualification.
There have been conflicting views about the subject preference of university students. Whilst some people opine that it is more essential to get qualified so all students’ endeavour should be in that area, others believe that unrelated subjects to their main area can be learned as well which I also definitely agree with. This essay will discuss both sides of the argument.

Young people often obtain a calling up for contributiion communities' development. I strongly believe this case in one hand brings positive impact such as raising awareness in society and training their capabilities social, but in another hand, it also has negative impact such as make youth be exploited illegally without obtaining any funding.

As mass communication and transport continue to grow, societies are becoming more and more alike, leading to a phenomenon known as globalization. Some people fear that globalization will inevitably lead to the total loss of cultural identity. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is true that in modern society, by advancing communication ways and transport , many societies are getting more resemble together which leads to globalisation. Some people would complain that globalization will result in a violation of their total cultural identity which is known as their civil liberties; however, my personal attitude toward this is that globalization can have many financial benefits such as accessible stuff like cheaper cars and smartphones, moreover, societies can exchange their lifestyle and how to live to be healthy.There are two major reasons for this issue ,which Iwill discuss in the following paragraphs.
