A letter

Dear Mr Harper,

I am writing to ask about your advertisement for a room which I saw in a newspaper. I am very interested in the room as I will be coming to Minehead this summer to study English.

Yesterday you called me but I was out. My brother left me the note but I noticed that you did not answer all my questions. First of all, could you tell me what facilities are available? It is really important for me. Secondly, I did not exactly understand if I can use the kitchen. I am a good cooker and if it is possible I would like to cook by myself. And finally, is there Internet access? Internet is really important thing because I need to keep in touch with my parents and also for my studying.

My brother told me that you would like to know about me more. Well, I am 17 years old. I have a big family. My mother tongue is Russian but I am Estonian. I will send you my picture too.

Thank you for your help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Elina

In ten-year time

Where will I be in ten years' time? And will I be happy with the way I have been living my life? Will I be all right?

These are the most important questions for me. I do not know what I will do in ten-year time. I will be 27 years old that is the only thing I know for sure.

In ten years I am planning to graduate the university and to get a good job. I do not know who I will be, maybe a businesswoman, or a successful neurosurgeon, or a famous producer. I definitely would like to live in another country like Great Britain, The USA, Italy.

I hope that in ten years time I will be married a very nice man and we will have two children.

Of course, nobody knows what his/her future will be like. The end of the world is said to be in 2012. We will know all about our future, when it begins, but it will never begin. I hope that in the future all my dreams will come true.

Application Letter

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Elina Serõševa. I would like to apply for the position of a hotel receptionist I saw advertised in a student newspaper. One of my reasons for applying is that the job would give me valuable work experience during the summer holidays.

I am 17 years old and I live in Estonia. At present I am a student at Estonian school. I have a reasonable command of English, Russian, Estonian and German languages. I have a good knowledge of computers. Last year I had an experience of this kind of job. I worked in a restaurant as a receptionist. I very much enjoy working with people.

The reason I am applying for this job is that I would get a great working experience and I need some personal spending money. I thin I would be a suitable canditate for the job because I really like working with different people. I would do the job really well - you do not have to worry about that.

I hope you will consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Education in Estonia

Estonians are trying to place a high value on education. Universal access to quality education has been one of the nation’s historic goals. Estonia’s first university, the University of Tartu was founded in 1632.

The educational system in Estonia is divided into primary school, secondary school and high school system. Efforts are being made to increase the number of secondary and high schools in the country. Almost all schools have a subject-centered curriculum, but there are also some schools with student-centered curriculum. In my personal opinion, the student-centered curriculum is better because it helps students to concentrate on their future professions. This curriculum means that student majors in one subject and minors in another. A student can major in history and minor in sociality, for example. In addition to these major and minor courses he can select other subjects according to his professional interest. The higher education is also very developed in Estonia.

The higher education consists of a four-year system. There are Bachelor Degrees, Master’s Degrees and Doctorate degrees.

In conclusion, education in Estonia is developing and reaching new heights.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you about a digital watch which I ardered throug your mail order catalogue on April 25th.

The digital watch arrived safely six days ago and worked perfectly for the first few days but now it has gone wrong. When I shout at the alarm, it keeps on buzzing. I have red the instructions and I am sure that I have set the watch correctly.

I am returning the digital watch both with this letter and the bill and would be grateful if you could send me a new one or refund the money.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

The only way to cut crime in our country is to make punishment more severe

Crime is one of the most important issues nowadays. In the last few years, crime has been going up. Benefits of making punishments more severe are numerous yet much can be said against them.

The main advantage is that there are rapists and murderers who don't deserve to live, but many of them are let out of prisons after three or four years and this causes a lot of scandals in our souciety. So, in this case the death penalty and longlife unprisonment are welcomed. Also, it is very important to think about the wishes of the families and friends of murder victims who demand that justice be done. Finally, these severe measures will help us to keep our children away from crime.

However, the advantages are numerous, there are a lot of disadvantages. Firstly, by making punishments more severe innocent people can get it in the neck, because nowadays we have already had a lot of situations when

a man was in prison for twenty years, but then his innocence was proved. Secodnly, the death penalty affects some sections of the community much more than others. Thirdly, we mustn't be animals, we must believe in God, as the Bible says "Thou shalt not kill!"

To sum up, there are strong arguments for and against punishments, we need to do whatever it takes to consider positive and negative effects of sending people to prison before the final decision is made.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to ask for more information about the deep-sea diving in the Indian Ocean. I am very exciting about the trip, but I would like to have some extra information.

Firstly, I would like to travel by plane and to fly from Tallinn, if it is possible. And I would be very grateful if you send me some details about prices.

Secondly, I am interested in what kind of accommodation is available. I would like to reserve me a place in a hotel which have a breathtaking views. I hope a single room can be guaranteed. Also, I am vegeterian and I would like to book a special food for vegeterians, how much will it cost?

Thirdly, I have some questions about the equipment. I have my own things for diving, but if there is any weight limit I can use their equipment. So, is it provided?

Finally, I would like to have a trainer who speaks English, of cource, if possible.

I would be very grateful if you could send me more details about the dates and prizes.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Elina Serõševa.

Why do or do not like travelling?

Travel is movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations for any purpose and any duration, with or without any means of transport. This is what Wikipedia says about travelling, but it has more extensive meaning.

First of all, do I like travelling? Yes, I do. When I travel I simply feel that I am alive. I enjoy learning more about the world and myself. When I travel, I definitely practise my language skills.

Secodly, travelling is a good a chance to meet new people, to know their culture and traditions and the landscapes in other countries. You just can escape from your "normal" life into the life of adventures and extreme. And, of course, if you are a lucky person, life can give you a gift by meeting with a new person who show you another way of living and maybe even open you a lot of opportunities for your future life.

Unfortunately, I don't travel a lot, but I am sure when I grow up, I will achieve my goals and I will visit so many countries as I can.

Should cloning be banned?

Cloning is an important part of today's level of developing of science and plays a large role for out future. The question is, why should cloning be banned?

The first disadvantages of cloning banning is that this science is very expensive and country will lose a lot of money. Furthermore, sometimes it is very hard for people who need new organs to find them. With the help of cloning this problem could be resolved quckly. In addition, many countries already have the equipment to start cloning. So, if cloning is banned, the new tecnology will be useless.

However, the advantages of the cloning ban are numerous, such as the healt problems. Firstly, there is a high risk of mutation of genes, because the tecnology is not yet known. Secondly, cloning could develop hang-up, not every people can handle this. Thirdly, clons may be dangerous to society, because they are unpredictable.

In my opinion, cloning should be banned, because every human should be individual.
