a pleasant surprise to receive a letter from you during the era of email and social media! I have received your birthday present and I absolutely love the Man United scarf that you bought me.

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.

Economic enhancement is the most important aim for many governors. However, many individuals assert other developments are equally important for a territory. I firmly believe that a government's primary goal should be economic progress, a topic that this essay will discuss from both perspectives.

These days, more and more people move away from the area where they were born and brought up when they become adults. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
Nowadays, an increasing number of individuals relocate from their birthplace and childhood home once they reach adulthood. While there are some drawbacks, such as cultural displacement and loss of identity, I believe the main benefits, for instance, educational prospects and economic opportunities are more substantial.

Considering the rapid increase in daily consumption of reusable materials, the waste recycling system plays a crucial role in the relationship between environment protection and society development now, but their behaviour is lower than expected. In this essay, the reasons behind the phenomenon, as well as some possible solutions, will be illustrated.

We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own communities and countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Every community or even country in the world must have problems going on internally. Some people think they should help any community or country that needs help. On the other side of the spectrum, some others argue they should only care about their own communities and countries. As a single human being, we should help others when they are in need, as best as we can without abandoning our own community.

Some people think that it is a waste of time for high school students to study literature, such as novels and poems. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
While nobody can deny the importance of education, especially in high school, some argue that studying literature, such as novels and poems, is a waste of time for our children. I strongly agree with this statement because of the importance of other science subjects.
