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.

Millions of people every year move to English-speaking countries such as Australia, Britain or America, in order to study at school, college or university. Why do so many people want to study in English? Why is English such an important international language? Give reasons for your answer.
English has become the dominant language for many education programs. And in many other countries, where English use as a second language, proficiency in English is often a prerequisite for many job opportunities. Therefore, many people try to move to English-speaking counties to improve language skills.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
There are opposite opinions on whether some professionals should be forced to pursue their career in the country where they have been educated or their freedom to work overseas should not be impaired. Personally, I would argue that the policy in this regard should be considered based on different situations in each country.

Shopping is now one of the most famous forms of leisure activity in many countries for young adults. What is the reason? Is it positive or negative?
It is clear that every youngster spends the majority of their leisure time shopping as it can relieve stress and makes people happy. However, I believe an exception should be made for youngsters since they have no stable income.

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: The international committee should act immediately to ensure that all countries reduce fossil fuels, such as gas and oil. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
As technological advancements continue to shape the modern world, the environmental challenges that accompany them have become a growing concern. Among these, the excessive use of fossil fuels stands out as a major contributor to climate change, air pollution, and other ecological issues. While I largely agree that the international community should take decisive steps to reduce fossil fuel consumption, I also believe that the approach should be nuanced, taking into consideration the varying needs and capacities of different nations.
