Dear Mrs. Gaur, I am writing

this

letter to you to inform you about an outdoor barbecue party that I will be hosting next Sunday evening, the 21st of June, in celebration of my graduation.

This

party is expected to have about 50 guests, a majority of whom will be my batchmates and a few other university students. Since

this

party symbolises the milestone many of us have achieved after years of hard work, it is expected to run late into the night and may cause some inconvenience to you in terms of loud noise.

Therefore

, I would like to offer my apologies to you in advance if any

such

trouble arises. We will try to keep it down to ensure minimum disturbance in the night. Having said that, I would

also

like to invite you to be a part of

this

celebration and offer us your blessings for our future endeavours. The barbecue is scheduled to commence at 6 pm. I would be very delighted if you could drop in, even for a short

while

. Your neighbour, Anmol

The US film industry has too much influence on the film industry around the world. Governments have a duty to invest money in their own film industries to protect and develop their cultures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
These days, we can not deny that the United States movies have had a significant impact on the film industry in every country. Some argue that governments should put their expenditures into movie projects to develop their cultures and protects them. I, firmly agree with this statement because money is the key to producing a good quality movie and it could promote their country to gain attention in the tourism section.

Public buildings often reflect the culture, religions and the tradition of the country and the people living in that country. They are an intergral part of community development.

Schools should focus on academic success and passing examinations. Skills such as cookery, dressmaking and woodwork should not be taught at school as it is better to learn these from family and friends. To that extent do you agree or disagree.
In today’s modern society, children necessitate fundamental changes to educational platforms. Although traditional subjects such as Math, Literature or science are undoubtedly significant, personally, I strongly believe that schools should incorporate practical life skills like baking, dressmaking or wood-making into education systems.
