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.

Many countries have compulsory military service for young men after they leave school. It would be a good idea for all countries to adopt this system for men, and possibly for women too. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
It is a well-known law in a lot of countries that when young men reach a certain age, it is mandatory to join the military service after they finish school. The law also applies to young women in some countries. Personally, I think it is a good thing for the young generation to join military service and the countries should adopt the system as the younger generation will learn good life lessons while doing service.

It is often argued that it is difficult to get children to read. Why do you think this is? What measures could be taken to encourage children to read more? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In this generation, parents are frequently debating about their children. Especially, they feel hard, when they ask their children to read books. From my perspective, I totally agree with the statement. The main reason why children are not willing books is that a huge number of words are printed on every page of the book. Instead of conveying the message of books in words, we can try to transfer the knowledge in other ways. So, I will discuss the issue of why the kids are finding it hard to book, and what the ways to improve their reading skills.

Some argue that a field of study takes priority over students’ preferences, so obliging students to study such subject area brings prosperity for individuals and nations in the future. The importance of both will be discussed and I will mention my personal viewpoint at the end.
