Dear James, I’m sorry I cut our call short earlier

this

week, but I’m excited to know you will be coming so soon! Philly is

such

a great place for people like you who want a bit of history, but

also

an active nightlife. There are

also

a couple of events coming up here that I know you’ll love. Philadelphia has great fireworks for the 4th of July. Makes sense, right, since the country was born here in a lot of ways.

Also

, some beer gardens will be open by

then

, especially around Penn’s Landing and the piers. As a barista and bartender,

this

will be the perfect time of year for you to

also

find a job. South Street and Old City have tons of little spots that are hiring. By the time you get closer to your departure, students will

also

have returned to University City, so there should be openings in the service industry there, too. You mentioned that you weren’t sure how easy it would be to make friends. I’m sure you’ll get to meet lots of people in your line of work. Most of the bars I’ll show you are pretty busy on weekends, after all. There will be other chances too, though. I know you like poetry; there are a couple of open mics, including one at Tattooed Moms called the Tyre Fire on Tuesdays

that is

worth checking out. If you go for a couple of weeks, you’re bound to make some contacts. If you think of any other questions, just text me.

Otherwise

, see you soon! Take care, Geoff

Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experience
It is argued that every country should have obligatory military program for both men and women high school graduates. I completely disagree with this opinion and think that it is better for people to choose what they want to do in life.

Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think is a positive or a negative development?
Before medicine was introduced in the 18th century, humans resolved on other ways of healing like leaches removing toxins, or using poison to cure others’ sickness. Nowadays, some people tend to alternative medicines and treatments rather than visiting their usual doctor's subscription. In my opinion, the disadvantage outweighs the advantages of using traditional medicine. In this essay, I'll try to discuss the pros and cons.

Some people believe that smoking cigarettes should be banned. On the other hand, there are those who disagree with this measure. Do you agree or disagree with the banning of cigarettes?
Although the use of tobacco is thought to be detrimental and should be prohibited in the name of public health, other people think it is a matter of personal choice which we should respect. I disagree with a smoking ban because I think that a smoking ban can prevent people from exercising their right to free will, and there are other countermeasures to discourage smoking without governmental intervention.
