I won’t be able to visit you

this

summer due to my hectic work schedule. Let me explain my situation in detail. I’ve recently been promoted to teach the higher classes and though I am thoroughly enjoying my job, it has been extremely hard to cope with and manage the deadlines. I am in no position to ask the management for a holiday as it was me who was after them to promote me.

Also

, during summer I have to undergo a teacher's development programme. It has been made mandatory by the school authorities. The programme focuses on the different skills and teaching strategies that need to be implemented to bring about a fruitful teaching and learning experience for the students. Could you inform me of another time you will be free? I’m excited to visit you. I was looking forward to staying at your new place and spending some quality time with your wife and children. I can travel to your place during the Christmas holidays and we can celebrate Christmas and ring in the new year together. Let me know if you are available. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Susan.

You have just read an article in an international travel magazine which contained some information about your town that is incorrect. Write a letter to the editor of the magazine. In your letter • Correct the information in the article • Explain why it is important for the magazine to give correct information • Suggest what the magazine should do about this situation
I am writing in connection with the article in your magazine which has been published in your magazine about the infrastructure of Zanjan. According to this article, Zanjan has a weak infrastructure. From an environmental viewpoint, a number of trees are a few and the city has just one central park. However, I should point out that as a result of changing local officials, such as the mayor and their deputies, different measures have been taken in order to solve these problems. For example, some new parks have been established and different trees have been planted in the main parts of the city. Therefore, this argument that was written in your magazine about Zanjan is not true.
