Topic: A friend is already attending Oxford college in the UK. You will be going to the UK next year. Write and ask him/or her about what you should do before you go. Ask him/her about any problems he/she has had. Dear Danny, How are you getting on in Oxford? I hope everything is going well and you are enjoying your studies. I’m writing to ask you for some information about as I’m planning to come and study in UK the next year. I have applied to Oxford College to take the course Tourism and Hospitality Management. Could you tell me what I have to do to obtain a study Visa and how long the process will take? The college said I also have to take out insurance before I come to the UK. How do I do this? I’d be really grateful if you can give me this information. I would also be grateful if you can tell me what I should bring with me, for example, clothes, books or anything else I cannot get in the UK. I’m sure that studying in a college overseas has not been without at least some problems for you. Adjusting to a new culture was probably also difficult. Have you had any particular problems that I should watch out for? I’d appreciate any advice you can give me. Yours sincerely, Johne Complant letter Topic: You rent a through an agency. The heating system has stopped working. You phoned the agency a week ago but it has still not mended. Write a letter to the agency. Explain the situation and tell them what you want them to do about it. Dear Sir/Madam, I am at present living in a house which I rented through your agency. I am sorry to inform you that the heating system in the house stopped working some time ago. This is very inconvenient- not to mention dangerous to the health-as the weather is starting to get colder. I phoned your agency and explained the problem one week ago, but you have still not sent anybody to fix the heating system. I must remind you that a fully operative heating system is one of the terms of the lease of the house. Therefore, I would very much appreciate it if you would send a technician to repaire the system as soon as possible. He may call at any time during the day, as either I or my wife will be at home all this week. 可以描述一些感冒症状: Have a runing nose. Catch a cold. Have a fever Cough Topic: You have bought a walkman at an airport. On reaching home, you discover a fault with it. Write a letter to the airport authority explaining the situation, and ask that the problem be put right. Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to make a complaint about a walkman which I bought three days ago in the Duty Free section of your airport.. As is my habit, I made a point of trying it out on the spot. I worked perfectly well, and so I went ahead and purchased it. However, when I got home and tried it again, it seemed that the volume knob had ceased to work. Removing the back of the case, I found the internal components of the walkman were all rusted. Not only that but some of the wires were broken. I am sure that you will agree that this is a most unsatisfactory situation. Therefore, I request you to arrange to replace this workman with another one, which must be in perfect working order. Failling that, I will have to insit on a refund in full of the price which I paid for it. Additional examples of writing a first phase for complaint letters. l Dear Sir or Madam: I am a regular commuter in the 0740 Bromley to Victoria and the 1730 Victoria to Bromley trains and I am very dissatisfied with the service. l I am writing to complain about the service on the Beijing to Hangzhou train which I took on November 11, 2000. Topic: You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to work there because your roomate always has friends visiting. They have parties in the room and sometimes borrows your things without asking you. \ Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer office at the college and ask for a new room next term. You would prefer a single room. Explain your reasons. Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my room mate and request for another accommodation next term. My main problem is that I cannot study in my room because my room mate always has friends visiting. He also has parties, which usually end early in the morning, several times a week. Further more he also borrows my things without asking me. I cannot accept this situation any longer, especially because I have very important exams next term and I really must study hard. This is why I would be very grateful if I could have another room next term. It would be most convenient for me not having to share my room with somebody else. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours faithfully, Dee White TOPIC: You are very much dissatisfied with the light, seats and the service of the local train. Write a letter of complaint to the authorities explaining the situation. l Dear Sir or Madam: I am a regular commuter in the 0740 Bromley to Victoria and the 1730 Victoria to Bromley trains and I am very dissatisfied with the service. More often than not, the trains do not run on time. For example, the morning train was late by nine minutes on Monday, twelve minutes on Wednesday and six minutes on Friday. The evening train was also late twice. It is very rare to find a seat and therefore it is necessary to stand for the entire journey most of the times. On the rare occasions I find a seat they are uncomfortable and are badly in need of repair. Also the lighting is totally inadequate and therefore, particularly during the winter months, it is impossible to read one’s newspaper. I am sure you appreciate that this is unacceptable. Hundreds of people, including myself, rely on this service to travel to work and the journey has now become a daily ordeal. I trust that you will take immediate steps to rectify the situation and I look forward to receiving your reply. Yours faithfully, Clair Parkey Letter of Inquiry l Topic: As part of a student social survery project, you are organizing a group to visit a historical exhibition in a small town. Write a letter asking information regarding such things as the contents of the exhibition, and the dates of its opeining and closing, and if there are any discounts available. l Topic: You wish to study at a certain foreign university. Write a letter inquiring about situation there as regards accommodation, fees and qualifications. You are a new student, and you find out that near your school there is a health club. Write a letter to the manager of the club asking for details of membership. Fees/discounts/Opening time/Facilities like lighting and chairs, so forth. Letter of Request Topic: You find that your study load is too heavy. Write a letter to your college teacher explaining why you need to withdraw from two courses. Ask if it is possible to obtain a refund. Dear Prof. James, I am writing to formally request to withdraw from two courses: Introduction to Elementary Education and Teaching Methods. The main reason for reducing my course load it that I am finding it extreamly difficult to manage six courses. In the beginning of the term, I was overly optimistic about juggling both my full-time studies and my part-time job(20 hours/week). Because I really must work part time, I have no other choice but to decrease my course load. I am planning on taking the two courses during the summer semester, it they are available, so that I will be able to complete all the coureses for the degree program by the following year. I would also like to request a tuition refund, and hope I am not too late to receive the full reimbursement. I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused by this change in plans. This decision was not taken lightly, and I do appreciate the kind consideration you have shown to me. Topic: You’ve just been offered a job, but you will not be able to start work on the appointed day. Write a letter to your boss explaining the problem and asking for an alternative day to start work. l Dear Mr. Johnson, I have been accepted by your company to assume the post of executive secretary. I was informed in a letter I received yesterday that I was supposed to begin my job on May 7th, 2000, five days from now. Unfortunately, I will not be able to start my work on that date. Last month, an arrangement was made with the company I am now working for that I would leave my present position in May 8th, 2000. I informed your company this arrangement by mail immediately, but perhaps the letter went astray. Is it possible for me to start my job on an alternative date? I would be grateful if you could allow me to begin to work for you on May 9th, 2000, or any time after that. Let me apologize for any inconvenience that I have caused by this change in plans. l Dear Mr. Smith, I recently attended an interview at your office and you kindly offered me a position as a sales representative with you firm. You asked me if I was able to start work on July 1st and I told you that I could. Two months ago I entered a competition which I had seen in the local newspaper and yesterday I received a letter notifying me that I have won the first prize. This prize is a luxury cruise which leaves on June 30th and does not return until july 18th. I have asked if there are any alternative routes but there are not. As I am sure you appreciate, this is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I really do not want to miss. As I am very anxious to work for your company and therefore hope that you will be willing to allow me to commence my employment on a slightly later date. I trust that this does not cause you any inconvenience and that you will be able to grant me my release. Yours sincerely, David Brown Letter of apology Topic: One of your pen pals will shortly be visiting your city. For some reasons, you can not manage to meet him at the airport on time. Write a letter asking him to wait for you at the air port and tell him how to identify you. Dear Mary, I’m very much looking forward to your visit to my city. Just think: after all these years of writing to each other, we will finally have the chance to meet! However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the air port as soon as you arrive. The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the quickest I can get to the air port will be about an hour after you land. Please wait for me in the arrival lounge. You should be able to have breakfast there while you wait. By the way, as we have never met I must tell you how to recognize me: I am of medium height and have a small mustache. In addition, I will be carrying a copy of the morning newspaper tucked under my left arm. Looking forward to our first meeting. Yours sincerely, Harry Topic: Having finished his end-of-term exams, a university student has gone straight home without saying good-bye to his roommate. Write a letter explaining the situation to the latter, and invite him home during the vacation. Dear Fred, I’m writing to apologize for the abrupt way I departed right after the exams finished. It was terribly rude of me to have left without saying good-bye to you, especially as we have been such good roommates. Not only did we help each other to study over the past term, but we also shared many leisure interest. The fact is that, when I learned that I had passed the exams with high marks, I was so excited that I could not wait to get home and tell the good news to my parents. You see, they had been worried about the low grades I had been getting. I’m sure you will understand my feeling. Anyway, I want to let you know that I very much value our good relationship. To make up for my thoughtless behavior toward you I want to invite you to come and stay with my family during the vacation. My hometown is located in a very scenic part of the country, and there’s lots to do and see. You are welcome to stay for as long as you wish, so please write and let me know your decision.

Updated Topic: You see an advertisement in the local news paper that a restaurant wants someone to be a part-time waiter or waitress in the evening. Write a letter to the manager. In your letter, you should write why you are writing, why you are suitable for the job and why you need the job. Dear Mr. Moore, Re: Waitress position I am writing to express my interest in you recently advertised postion for a waitress. Enclosed with this letter is my resume, which further details my previous work experience and qualifications. Not only do my qualifications and work experience make me a perfect candidate for the job, my personality is well suited to working as a waitress. I am a friendly person who can quickly establish rapport with people of all ages. In my last waitressing job, I had over a dozen repeat customers each day. And, the fast-paced environment of waiting on tables suits me well, because I thrive on working under pressure. In fact, my former boss was surprised at both my incredible stamina and efficiency in dealing with customers’ orders. I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience, to discuss the possibility of working at your restaurant. I can be reached at 463-9234 during the days and 924-6868 after 6 p.m. Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
