I am writing to send my apologies that I will not be able to take part in Chris’s birthday

party

. I think that Chris will enjoy the

party

because he has

such

a thoughtful and kind parent that has decided to plan a

party

and invite his friends. On top of that, I am sure he will be proud of you for creating

such

an amazing chance for him to be happy and have fun with his lovely friends. I am sorry to say that I cannot join

this

birthday

party

since I have a very important job interview in a company

that is

a valuable opportunity for me to get employed. What’s more, if I get the job, I am sure that I will have a high position which will provide job security and financial opportunities.

Although

I, unfortunately, cannot attend the

party

, I will send a message to Chris to set a time and meet each other at the park, and I will apologize for not coming to

this

gathering.

However

, I will send a worthy gift to him beforehand. I look forward to your reply. Best regards, Kambiz Pirzad

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.

In many countries, people are now living longer than ever before. Some people say an aging population creates problems for governments. Other people think there are benefits if society has more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of having an aging population outweigh the disadvantages?
There is no doubt that people’s health is getting better than ever before. Many agree that old residents are a burden for the government, while others believe that there are advantages if society has more older adults. I completely agree with the latter for some reasons mentioned in the essay.

Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after shcool. Discuss both views
It is often argued that if people have an academic education, finding a suitable job can be guaranteed for them, while others believe that students should be attracted to the labor market immediately after school. This essay will explain the benefits of both views, however, in my opinion, professional careers need to have a related degree that makes employees knowledgeable and effective.

Governments give lots of support to artists, even though some people think it is a waste of money that could have been spent better elsewhere. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Many artists are well supported by their governments, but some feel that this is a misuse of taxpayers’ money. Although many arts venues would have to cease operating without such funding, I feel that public healthcare is in more urgent need of the money.
