, I want to tell you about one of your belongings that you keep it with me a long time ago. In Fact, did you remember the tablet that you gave to me in order to attend our online classes together? It was a mini-iPad coloured white, and it was a gift from your mother on your eighteenth birthday. Unfortunately, I am embarrassed to inform you that it was broken accidentally after my cat Alex jumped on my desk and threw your device on the floor. God! the screen was damaged where the cracks disabled the finger touch function. Guess what? I found an electronic store

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.

Governments should spend money on railways rather than roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Nowadays, the government’s spending on constructing railways or developing roads has engaged the nation’s interest. Some people might vividly support that governments build new railways to decrease environmental impacts and reduce citizens’ living costs. However, others are likely to argue this idea. In this essay, I will examine both perspectives and provide my opinion on this matter.

Universities should accept equal numbers of male and female students in every subject. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It has been proposed that tertiary institutions should accept the same proportion of students to each course. I totally agree with this notion as it is in accordance with the principles of gender equality and it will also serve to create a more harmonious society and reduce gender discrimination.

It is a paramount for parents to dedicate a lot of their time in assisting their children as they do their homework. This essay will illustrate that I am in total agreement with this statement because this will motivate children to put more effort in what they do as they see their parents putting interest in their studies and it will bring parents and their kids closer.

Many doctors recommend that older people exercise regularly, but most patients do not follow an exercise routine. Why do you think this happens? How can people be encouraged to exercise regularly?
Doctors endlessly struggle with the older patient population and their reluctance to comply with the recommendations to exercise consistently. In my opinion, this subset of patients is not convinced that daily workouts can indeed reduce the occurrence of negative health outcomes. Through proper motivation, I believe that people will embark on the journey to a more active lifestyle.
