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.

Learning English at school is often seen as more important than learning local languages. If these are not taught, many are at risk of dying out. In your opinion, is it important for everyone to learn English? Should we try to ensure the survival of local languages and, if so, how?
Local languages are often disregarded due to the preponderance of English, and it may result in the disappearance of minor languages. Whilst English is admittedly paramount for individuals to survive in the highly globalised world, we must also strive to protect local languages, which play a crucial role in maintaining cultural diversity.

In today’s world, the elderly are increasingly confronted with signs of disrespect by the population. The essay will discuss the reasons behind that phenomenon as well as the inconveniences it could cause. The lack of respect could be explained because of the negative feelings expressed by the youngest generations towards the oldest, and it could lead to a multiplication of violent acts against harmless grandparents.

• In many countries today, if people want to find work, they have to move away from their families and friends. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
In modern society, it is quite common for a person to part with his or her family and friends in search of employment. Despite contrary ideas, it is my belief that the benefits such departures bring about are more noticeable.
