Dear Mr Bertolli, How have you been? It's been a while since we

last

saw each other. I've heard through Samantha of your offer for me to stay with you and your wife at your while in Rome

this

summer. It'd be an honour to be a guest at your lovely home. Unfortunately, it is with true sadness that I must decline your offer on

this

occasion.

However

, you'd be delighted to hear the reason behind my decision. The truth is, I have won an all-inclusive 7-day stay at a beautiful villa located on the outside of Rome. It is a truly amazing opportunity to explore a typical roman village with all expenses covered.

This

being said, I'd love to see you on my visit to the city. I am planning on attending a music festival on Friday 7 - Saturday 8 of August and will be free on Saturday night. I'd like to invite you and Mrs Bertolli to dinner at a cosy restaurant named La Nonna that I discovered in my previous stay in Italy. I hope to see you soon. Best wishes, Lucia

Governments should focus their spending on public services rather than on the art (e.g. Music and painting). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people assert that it is more advisable for the authorities to invest in public services instead of art. Owing to the social well-being and the current inclination of residents’ needs, this writer totally agrees with this statement and will explain it in the following sections.

Nowadays, a growing number of people with health problems are trying alternative medicines and treatments instead of visiting their usual doctor. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
In the realm of public health, a perennial debate revolves around whether public should go to doctors or do alternative treatments and medicines. This is the dichotomy between mainstream and non-mainstream that happens in many other fields. I am inclined to believe that people with the non-mainstream view, going to alternative institutions instead of the common one, have negative aspects.

Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Music is a universal language understood by all. It is argued that music is a suitable way to gather people from various nationalities and ages together. I completely agree with this statement because music can convey a message and different people can gather in musical concerts to have fun.

Last month you had a holiday overseas where you stayed with some friends. They have just sent you some holiday photos. Write a letter to your friends. In your letter: • thank them for the holiday and the photos • explain why you didn't write earlier • invite them to come and stay with you
Thank you very much first of all for a great vacation and special thanks for photos that we took on holiday . I took them from postage then I remember to write this letter to you and in my opinion I never forget those days as I did things that I have never done in my whole life . Now I’m sitting and looking at photos and I think the best place that we went was Alp mountains however I don’t know how did you take photos top of the mountain as you know that place was too cold.
