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.

Only formal examinations, written or practical, can give a clear picture of students’ true knowledge and ability at university level. Continuous assessment like course work and projects are poor measures of student ability. To what extent do you agree or disagree on this IELTS topic?
In the world of education, the evaluation of students’ knowledge and ability on several measurements has sparked a debate. Some people consider that it is more important to give an evident overview of their capability with a formal, both written or practical, exam rather than allow them to learn through coursework and projects. However, I agree with the former statement for some reasons which are set out below.
