EXAMPLE

Many people think homework is necessary, but others believe it is too much. In my opinion, students should not have homework every day because it creates stress and limits their free time.

First of all, too much homework makes students feel tired and worried and they need time to relax. For example, if students have too many assignments, they cannot sleep enough or enjoy simple activities.

Secondly, free time is very important for sports, family, and hobbies. These activities help students stay healthy and develop different skills.

In conclusion, homework can be useful, but it should be limited. Students need balance in their life to learn better and be happy.

Exams are not the best way to evaluate students

Exams have been the traditional and accepted way to evaluate learners, but nowadays it could be changing. From my point of view, everyone has different skills that is the main reason a standard evaluation can not evaluate accuracy each student.

For instance, one personality one day said You can judge a fish for its ability to climb a three. So, if we can evaluate students with exam this should be designed to evaluate each skill and different way to learn.

In addition, our current system is not teach to learners how to answer or prepared yourself for an exam. This shows that not even the evaluators are ready to be evaluate throw one single method.

To concluded, the regular and traditional exams are not the best way to evaluate students.

The Ultimate Travel Destination: Barcelona (Title)

Do you love travelling to cities but need help deciding your next destination? Although many people would suggest going to London, Paris or Rome, my favourite is Barcelona. (Introduction)

This Spanish treasure offers an incredible combination of culture, architecture, and entertainment. Can you imagine walking through the historic Gothic Quarter, then relaxing on the Barceloneta beach, and later visiting one of Gaudí’s masterpieces? (Body 1)

In addition, the local cuisine, especially the tapas, is one of the best foods I’ve ever tried. In my opinion, it’s an experience you shouldn’t miss. I strongly recommend Barcelona to anyone seeking a perfect mix of history and leisure. (Body 2)

If I were you, I’d choose Barcelona. Trust me, it’s worth every moment! (Closing line)

EXAMPLE

Dear Sir/Madam, (Greeting)

I am writing to express my dismay at the service at your Eden Hill branch on Saturday 14 January. (Reason)

I often collect prescriptions from the pharmacy on behalf of my grandmother, Mrs Elaine Bingham. On this occasion there were two prescriptions: one for 10 x 50 mg Kendomol and one for 50 x 100 mg Leoprone. (Context) I was served quickly even though there appeared to be only one pharmacist on duty. However, as I was leaving I saw that I had been given 500 mg tablets of Kendomol. This is ten times stronger than the prescription called for.

If I hadn't noticed the difference between the prescription and the actual tablets, my grandmother could have taken a dangerous overdose of Kendomol. I would be worried about getting any future prescriptions at Eden Hill.

The pharmacist apologised and corrected the mistake but I wanted to bring it to your attention. I think it happened because there were not enough staff on duty. (Problem) I understand that mistakes happen but there needs to be a minimum of two pharmacists at all times so all prescriptions can be checked.

I hope you can take steps to make sure this mistake does not happen again. (Request)

Yours faithfully,

Roger Bingham (Closing)

Dear Sir/Madam

I wish to complain about the serve received last Sunday 28 at Pharmacy 123ABC.

On this occasion I collect my nana's prescription from the 123ABC pharmacy of my grandmother, Mrs Susan Flores.

However, unfortunately I noticed that I was served with a wrong medicine. Each blister of pills it was a different dose than the prescription called for.

If I hadn't checked the blisters and I hadn't realised the difference between the prescription and the pills I got, my grandmother could have taken a dangerous overdose.

There needs to be
