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 the future all cars, buses and trucks will be driverless.The only people travelling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?
Some argue that there will be no drivers on vehicles except passengers in the future. I feel that this can lead to a happier life although the passengers may be not able to receive enough payment when an accident happens.

In the future, people may no longer be able to pay for things in shops using cash. All payments may have to be made by card or using phones. Do you think this will happen one day? Why do you think some people might not be happy to give up using cash? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Today, electronic payments are used in a wide range of regions. The majority of the population agrees that it brings massive convenience to their everyday lives as they don't need to carry cash all the time anymore. Based on this trend, I believe that business owners will replace cash payments with e-payments in the near future.

Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of differen cultures and ages toghether. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
The debate over the impacts of music on people's closeness has sparked considerable controversy. While some advocate for music benefiting solely young-old relationships, I subscribe to the fact that its positive effect on people's closeness from distinct cultures is of equal significance due to the reasons this essay further elaborates on.
