Question
You have recently moved to a different house.
Write a letter to an English-speaking friend. In your letter,

– explain why you have moved
– describe the new house
– invite your friend to come and visit

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer
Dear Bill,

How’s it going? I hope you’re on top form. Last week, my family moved to another house, so I’d like to invite you to come drop by sometime.

Actually, the reason we transferred is because the old place was falling to pieces and had all sorts of problems. These issues include the place being damp and it has rotten and thin walls through which we could hear all the goings-on next door. Hence, we gave our notice and left.

The new place we found is a whole lot better. It’s in a leafy suburb around Kew Gardens, which is nice for the kids. The building is much more modern and so far seems to be dry as a bone – plus we haven’t heard a peep from the neighbours!

We’d love it if you dropped by to see us sometime and have a tour around our new digs! Let us know when you’re free to come round for dinner, and of course, you’re welcome to stay the night. We could also take the opportunity to pop into the botanic gardens and admire the spring blossoms.

Get back to me with some suitable dates!

All the best,
Martha

Question
You would like a temporary job working in a summer camp which runs sports and outdoor
activities for children and young people next summer.
Write a letter to the organizers of the summer camp.

– explain what sort of job you would like to do
– describe your personality
– say what experience and skills you have

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to apply for a position at the Fun Times summer camp this June, as advertised
in the Evening Chronicle. I think my experience and personality would make me an excellent fit for the role of Sports Instructor.

As you will see from the enclosed CV, I finished my degree in Sports Science and my experience so far includes coaching rugby and basketball teams in a local boys’ high school, as well as coordinating other physical activities there. This role gave me the chance to develop both teaching and management skills.

I believe my energetic and enthusiastic personality would make me a valuable addition to
your team. My former employers can testify to the fact that I am always punctual and reliable. In addition, I feel my sympathetic and understanding nature would enable me to take on additional duties as a Camp Counselor if required.

I hope we will be able to discuss the opportunity further.

Yours faithfully,
Tyrone Jenkins

Question
You eat at your college cafeteria every lunch time. However, you think it needs some
improvements.
Write a letter to the college magazine.

– explain what you like about the cafeteria
– say what is wrong with it
– suggest how it could be improved

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer
Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m writing this letter to give some suggestions on how to better our canteen.

I have lunch at the college cafeteria on a regular basis because it is affordable, has a pleasant atmosphere, and offers a constantly changing menu.

However, there are to my mind a number of problems which need to be put right. Firstly,
although the staffs endeavor to keep the tables clean, there are simply not
enough workers to do this adequately at peak times. Actually, since the cafeteria is self-service, students are supposed to clear their tables themselves after eating. Unfortunately, some students neglect to do this. Furthermore, there is a small minority of students who appear to think it is unnecessary to wait in the queue to get served, which is highly annoying for the rest of us. Finally, the cafeteria suffers from poor ventilation, especially in the summer, when it can become unbearably hot.

I feel it would be a great idea if more signs were put around the cafeteria asking students to put their dirty plates and cutlery on the trolleys provided and to throw away their leftovers and rubbish. Also, I strongly believe students should be reprimanded when they jump the queue. Finally, is it too much to ask to have a few windows open when the temperature in the cafeteria is above a comfortable level?

I hope these suggestions would be taken into consideration for everyone’s benefit. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Barry Townsend
