Dear Sir or Madam,
I am so happy to hear the news that a great event "International Day" is going to hold at Sum college next week and it is an honor for me to give a speech in front of my classmates.

I am an international student and I have been studying in this country for nearly 2 years. My topic for this great day will be "The culture differences". First of all, as international students increasingly tend to come to this country to study, it is necessary for us to understand the different cultures from different countries in order to make friends efficiently. Secondly, understanding their cultures makes us desirable to travel to their countries to enjoy different life experience and traditional foods to enrich our life.

Moreover, I also would like to know when this even will exactly hold and what else should I include in my speech. If it is possible can you be so kind as to send me some relevant booklets related to this great event.

Your Sincerely,

Writing Feedback / Ielts: Teacher is the best option for children's education in some aspects. [5]

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
Recently, there has been a social concern with regard to who is the best teacher for children's education. Indeed, children grow up with two important people, their parents and teachers, and both are important in children's development. As far as I am concerned, I agree with the view that the teacher is the best option for children's education in some aspects.

In the first place, school teachers are more qualified than parents in the field of education. For instance, to be able to obtain the teacher certificates, people need years of training at their normal schools to learn theoretical knowledge. However, in comparison to teachers, parents tend to have less knowledge to teach their children's subjects such as mathematics and physics.

Furthermore, teaching staff are professional and experienced in terms of promoting children's communication skills. For example, after many years of teaching experience, teacher are able to know how to help children to develop important life skills such as learning personal boundaries, facing future problems and learning important conflict resolution skills. By contrast, parents are facing difficult generation gap with their children because they are less likely to know how to handle family conflicts in an efficient way.

Last but not least, compared with teachers, parents do not have enough time to spend with their children. Nowadays we are facing a global economic crisis and it is necessary for both parents to work, hence there is only limited time for them to teach their children. Thus, it was impossible for them to be a good teacher

In conclusion, teachers are the best for children's education. Not only do they contribute much to children's professional skills but also they can teach their students important social communication techniques in order to survive in this competitive world

Dear Mr. Roboert
I am sorry to write to you after quite long time and I am so happy to heard that you have just had your new child this week.

I am so busy recently with my school assignments and I heard from one of my co-workers that you son just born this Monday. To celebrate this great event, I have bought an IPAD for a gift for your new born child. It has many advantages. First of all, there are many early childhood education applications available online, which can help him to learn how to count numbers or recognize animals. Secondly, after entering to the primary school, your son can also use this device to access to the internet to study or find information. Thus, I hope this gift can aid in your child's development.

In addition, I would like to know that when the best time for me to visit you. Although I know that you must be busy these days either for taking care of child or buying some baby supply for your kids, i am quite keen on seeing your lovely baby.

I look forwards to receiving your letter.

Writing Feedback / Ielts: apology letter - 'evenings noise' [4]

Your neighbours have recently written to you to complain about the noise from your houseflat.
1. Write a letter to your neighbours,In your letter
2. Explain the reason for the noise
3. Apologize
4. Describe what action you will take.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Robert,
I am writing to apologize for the noise that spoils your evenings and causes you some distress.

As you may have guessed, I am currently decorating my flat and workers are drilling a whole to allow the pipes of my new air conditioner go into my living room. Unfortunately, this is taking a bit longer then I originally expected due to the problem that the wall is made of concrete and, therefore, the drill makes huge noise on the surface of the wall. I have discussed this problem with the builder and he promised me that his workers will do their work at daytime and they will keep the level of noise as low as possible so that you won't be disturbed at night time tomorrow.

Sorry again for any inconvenience and troubles that I have made, I hope you would accept my apologies.

Best Regards,
Shigang Xing.
