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.

Some people think that the government should subsidize fruit and vegetables to make healthy food more affordable. Others argue that the government should tax unhealthy food instead. Discuss both views and give your own opinion Gives reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge.
Health issue arising from consuming excessive amounts of junk food is a cause of great concern in many countries. .There are calls for governments to either reduce the prices of healthy foodstuff through subsidies or to raise the costs of unhealthy products through taxation. In my opinion, a combination of the two is the best way forward.

Leaders and directors in an organization are frequently older people, Some People think young leaders would be better. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that senior management in companies is filled with older people. While many people argue that they should be replaced by young people, I am of the opposite view that company leadership must consist of mature people who will bring effectiveness and efficiency to the organization.

Popular hobbies and interests change over time and are more a refection of trends and fashions than an indication of what individuals really want to do in their spare time. To what extent do you agree and disagree.
Some leisure pursuits enjoy brief periods of popularity before fading away when new trends emerge, while others endure across generations. Therefore, I can only partly agree with the assertion that our pastimes are more reflective of changing fashions than of our genuine interests.

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
It is commonly accepted that some children and teenagers use their phones for hours each day. This, in my opinion, results from social media platforms' exceptional ability to keep users' attention. It should be viewed as a negative development because it can be harmful to children's mental health.

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high level of sugar, which causes many health problems. sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
In today’s climate, consuming sugary drinks and foods has gained popularity among people. It is a widely held view that increasing the price of sugary and unhealthy foods is the best solution to decrease their sales, a theory which I strongly disapprove of.
