1.Write an essay on the following topic (about 150-200 words).
"The idea of going overseas for university is an exciting prospect for many people."
Do you think it is better for us to study overseas? State your own opinion.
Nowadays, there are more and more students choosing to attend schools or universities outside their home countries. As far as I am concerned, there are several reasons for the students to do so.
1 - Experience personal growth. By living and studying in a foreign country, students’ll gain a new understanding of their personal heritage, culture and values. Additionally, they will become more independent, self-reliant, and self-confident as you learn to navigate and live comfortably in a different culture.
2 - Gain valuable life skills. The full immersion experience of living in a different country affords students the opportunity to learn or master that country’s language at social, academic, and professional levels. Interacting with the native population and fellow international students allows them to gain greater respect for other cultures.
3 - Strengthen leadership skills. Because leadership styles differ from one culture or country to the next, they will learn how to work with – and gain a better understanding – of different leadership and business styles. If they manage others, they’ll gain valuable experience working with a diverse team.
4 - Broaden their worldview. Their exposure to a new culture will allow them to gain a broad and sophisticated worldview and diversify their thoughts and values. As a result, it’ll be easier for them to form partnerships and work effectively to tackle global or multinational challenges.
5 - Advance their careers. They will stand out from other job candidates with the skills that can only be gained through international experience, such as strong cross-cultural communications and familiarity with international standards, laws, and regulations. Additionally, if they study in a country with an emerging economy, they will be able to respond quickly to an evolving market or industry
When studying abroad, students could harvest a lot which due to the reasons above. In conclusion, there are many students choose to attend schools or universities outside their countries. If I have chance, I will definitely choose to study abroad.
2.Write a complaint letter.
You have attended an English course in the New English Institute for 1 week, but you are not satisfied with the learning and teaching condition, which is much different from its advertisement. Write a complaint letter to the director of the Institute.
Dear Sir/Madam,
This letter is basically concerned about the English course I had been through in your institute. I attended your recent institute and ended up very disappointed with the quality of the course.
I recently saw your leaflet about the course and I was really satisfied with what you advertised: your institute had tutors, who could prove a deep knowledge of English and classrooms equipped with new technological devices.
Yet the content did not match those you are saying in your advertisements. I was disappointed with the teaching methodology of the trainer and the content of the session. Less than an hour was devoted to conflict resolution, while it was supposed to be one of the major topics that need to be discussed. And, the facilitator seemed incompetent of the topic itself appearing incapable of answering questions from the attendees.
On balance, I believe that you owe everyone attending the course an apology and a refund since we were not satisfied on how the course was taught. We expected too much as you seemed very competent on your advertisements. I reckon you should take my remarks, concerning the organisation, into account in order to improve the course in the future.
Sincerely,
...........

4.Write a complaint letter to your government about the environment's problems in your neighborhood.
Dear Sir
I'd like to bring your attention to the growing garbage dump in my locality.
For the last 2 weeks, municipal workers had not picked up the waste from our living society, as I heard they were on strike. As a result, the situation is so awful that rubbish is overflowing in the installed dustbins which happen very near to my house. Furthermore, the smell of the garbage is so unpleasant that we cannot open our windows. I think that it will affect our children's health. This is the main reason I am writing to you now.
There are plenty of steps which I think you can take to eradicate this problem in near future. Firstly, you can circulate a circular to the complete living society that they need to throw the waste bags in main garbage dumps instead of dustbin installed here, if the same situation occurs in near future. Secondly, you need to arrange some sessions, which can educate people to produce less rubbish.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully
