As you know, my mum and dad own a restaurant and want me to work there when I leave college. However, I’m still really keen to be a journalist. What do you think I should do?

It's really kind of you to let me stay at your flat while you're on holiday. Please could you let me know how to get the keys? And could you also tell me anything else I need to know about the flat and whether there's anywhere near that I can buy food? 

Thanks, 

Kim

I’m really looking forward to my first visit to your area and I’d very much like to find out more about it.

Can you tell me in what ways it has changed in the last 20 or 30 years? What are the most interesting things I could photograph when I’m there?

See you soon,

Lou

I’m really pleased to hear that you can spend a week with me and my family here. People say this is one of the world’s most exciting cities.

What kind of places would you like to visit and what would you like to do downtown?

We can either use public transport or hire bikes to get around. Which would you prefer?

See you soon,

Alex

Here is part of an email you have received from a language school in the UK where you once took an English course.

The school has had an excellent year, and has some additional money to spend on giving students a better experience. That's why we are now writing to our former students to ask for advice. This money could be spent on one of these things: 

• sponsoring one student to study here by providing a free course 

• taking class trips to special places around the UK

Which option would you recommend and why?

This is part of an email you receive from a friend who is a school teacher in another country.

I'm planning a trip with my pupils to your country. Can you recommend one region where we will be able to learn about various aspects of your country, such as its wildlife, history and architecture? What would be the best way to make the trip really educational? Hopefully we can meet up too!

All the best,

Frankie

Subject: party plans

I’m pleased to say that all our classmates are able to come to the party we’re organising for the end of the course. There are just a few more things I’d like to ask you. Should we hire a band for the occasion? Shall we order some food from a local restaurant? How about making it a fancy dress party?

Speak to you soon.

All the best,

Sam
