[Nguyễn Quốc Bảo T] Writing Practice Test 865696

Task 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

You have a full-time job and you are also doing a part-time evening course.

You now find that you cannot continue the course.

Write a letter to your teachers. In your letter

describe the situation

explain why you cannot continue at this time

say what action you would like to take

You do NOT need to write any addresses.

Begin your letter as follows:

Dear ................. ,

There are three main things to consider before writing your essay:

1. Tone (formal or informal)
Sometimes students are friendly with their tutors, but I think it would be better to write a formal letter. Start with your tutor’s surname (e.g. Dear Mr. Smith,) and end with “Yours sincerely,”. Avoid contractions (write “I am” instead of “I’m”), and avoid using informal idioms or expressions. Be polite rather than friendly.

2. Purpose
The main purpose of this letter is to inform your tutor that you are leaving the course. Make this clear straight away (e.g. I am writing to inform you that...). Then cover the three points, writing a short paragraph for each.

3. Ideas
I recommend spending a few minutes planning ideas for each of the task points before you start writing. You need to decide what the evening course is about, what your full-time job is, a reason why you are too busy with work to continue with the course, and whether you want to leave completely or perhaps continue at a later date.

You should write at least 150 words.

Writing task 1

Dear Mr. Richard

I hope you are doing well. My name is Tran Nguyen Quoc Bao, I am writing this letter to tell you about my part-time job. I am taking a part-time evening course and I have a hard time to keep up with this course. I am afraid that I cannot continue with this course.

My problem is, I currently have a full-time job, from 8a.m - 4p.m. Sometimes, I asked that I want to work for extra hour, so that I can finish all my rest of the work. That is because the Tet holiday are coming up soon. Also, I have to do some work to prepare for the next day.

At night when I got home, I am very tired to even prepare a dinner for myself. Also I don't have enough time to study for this course.

I would like drop this course this quarter and then take it again the next quarter. So, please accept my situation.

Thank you for reading my letter.

Best regards

Tran Nguyen Quoc Bao

Task 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish.

Why do you think this is happening?

What can governments do to help reduce the amount of rubbish produced?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Writing task 2

I think it is true to say that nowdays we are producing more and more rubbish into the environment. Because every country today each household and family produces a large amount of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we buy, such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home.

The reason why we have so many packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis than families did in the past. Convenience is also very important for everyone in modern life, so we buy packaging or canned food that can be transported from long distances and stored until we need it, first in the supermarket, and then at home.

However, I think the amount of waste produce is also a result of our tendency to use something once and throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and energy to produce. We also forget that it is a source of pollution and can't be produced. Even though some people also know that it can't be produced but they still don't care about what does it causes and what happens if there are too much rubbish into the environment.

Therefore, I think that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public. Children also can be educated about environmental issues at school but family need to take an action so that they can follow them. Governments can encourage such action by putting taxes on packaging, such as plastic bags, by providing recycling services and by thing households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their waste.

In addition, if people don't want to see our resources used up and our planet poisoned by waste, we should protecting it by now and caring our beautiful world.
