Recently, I have been having some difficulties with my English writing assignments. I find it hard to organize my ideas clearly and often make grammar mistakes. Because of this, I am not very confident about my writing skills.

Dear Mai,

Recently, I have been struggling with my English writing assignments, especially when it comes to organizing ideas and using grammar accurately. Despite my efforts, I still feel that my progress is quite slow, which has made me less confident in this skill.

Thank you very much in advance for your help and support. I truly appreciate your time and kindness.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to give some suggestions to help improve the school library.

At the moment, the library is often very crowded, especially in the afternoon. In addition, there are not enough computers and study spaces for students. Sometimes, it is difficult to find a quiet place to study or do research.

I would like to suggest that the school add more computers and desks for students. It would also be helpful if the library could extend its opening hours in the evening so that more students can use the facilities.

I believe these changes would help students study more effectively and feel more comfortable when using the library. Thank you very much for considering my suggestions.

Yours sincerely,
An

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to offer some suggestions regarding possible improvements to the school library.

Currently, the library is often overcrowded during peak hours, and there are not enough computers or study areas for students. As a result, many students find it difficult to concentrate or complete their assignments efficiently.

I would like to suggest increasing the number of computers and creating more quiet study spaces. Additionally, extending the library’s opening hours in the evening would allow students with busy schedules to make better use of the facilities.

I believe that these improvements would greatly enhance the learning environment and support students in their academic studies. Thank you for taking the time to consider my suggestions.

Kind regards,

I am very sorry for any inconvenience this request may cause. I hope you can understand my situation and allow me to change my shift. Thank you very much for your consideration.

I am writing to request a change in my work schedule for next week due to a personal matter.

According to the current timetable, I am assigned to the morning shift on Tuesday and Wednesday. Unfortunately, I have an important family commitment during these mornings and I will not be able to attend work as planned.

I would like to ask if it would be possible to switch to the afternoon shift on those two days. I am fully available in the afternoons, and I am also willing to make up for the missed hours by working an additional shift later in the week if necessary.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and would greatly appreciate your understanding and approval.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to give feedback about the English workshop that I attended at your language center last weekend.

First of all, I really enjoyed the workshop. The speaker was friendly and the activities were interesting. I had a chance to practice speaking with other learners, so I felt more confident. The topics were also useful for daily communication.

However, there were a few problems. The room was a little crowded, and the sound system was not very clear. Sometimes, I could not hear the speaker well.

I would like to suggest that you use a bigger room and improve the microphone for future workshops. I believe these changes will help participants learn better.

Thank you very much for organizing the workshop. I hope to join your next event.

Yours sincerely,
Khanh

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to provide feedback on the English workshop that I attended at your language center last weekend.

Overall, I found the workshop extremely helpful and enjoyable. The speaker was engaging and gave clear explanations, while the interactive activities encouraged participants to practice speaking in a supportive environment. I especially appreciated the practical topics, which were useful for real-life communication.

However, I would like to mention a couple of issues. The room was rather crowded, and the sound system was not clear enough, which made it difficult to follow some parts of the presentation.

For future workshops, I would suggest using a larger venue and improving the audio equipment. These improvements would create a more comfortable learning experience for participants.

Thank you again for organizing such a valuable event. I look forward to attending more workshops in the future.

Kind regards,
Khanh

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about a product that I ordered from your online shop last week.

I bought a pair of headphones from your website and received the package yesterday. However, when I opened the box, I found that the headphones were broken. The left side does not work and the sound quality is very bad. In addition, the box was damaged, so I think the product may have been harmed during delivery.

I feel disappointed because I paid for a new product but it is not usable. I would like to ask you for a replacement or a full refund as soon as possible.

Please let me know what I should do next. Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely,
Hanh

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with an online order I recently received from your shop.

Last week, I ordered a pair of headphones from your website. The package arrived yesterday; however, the product was in poor condition. After opening the box, I discovered that one side of the headphones was not working properly and the sound quality was extremely weak. Moreover, the packaging was damaged, which suggests that the item may have been affected during transportation.

As a customer, I find this situation very disappointing because I paid for a brand-new product but received a faulty one. I would appreciate it if you could offer a replacement or issue a full refund.

Please advise me on the return process and how this matter can be resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,
Hanh

Write a letter to the local authority to suggest improvements.

You should:

• describe the problems in your area,

📌 Thời gian làm bài: 20 phút

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my concerns about some problems in my local area and to suggest improvements.

Recently, there has been a lot of rubbish on the streets, especially near the market. Some people also make loud noise at night, which affects local residents. In addition, there are not enough parks or green spaces for people to relax or exercise.

I would like to suggest that the local authority place more rubbish bins and arrange regular street cleaning. It would also be helpful to control noise at night by setting stricter rules and checking the area more often. Moreover, building a small park or adding more trees would make the environment better.

I believe these changes would help local people live more comfortably and improve the quality of life. Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,
Mai

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to raise concerns about several issues in my neighborhood and to suggest some possible improvements.

In recent months, the streets around my area have become increasingly dirty due to rubbish being left in public places, particularly near the market. In addition, noise pollution at night has become a serious problem, as some residents play loud music or gather late in the evening. Another issue is the lack of parks and green spaces, which limits opportunities for exercise and relaxation.

I would like to suggest placing more rubbish bins in public areas and organizing regular cleaning services. Furthermore, the local authority could enforce stricter regulations on noise levels at night. Finally, building a small park or improving existing green areas would create a healthier and more pleasant living environment.

I believe these changes would greatly benefit local residents and improve the overall quality of life in the community. Thank you for your consideration.

Kind regards,
Mai
