 QUESTION TASK 1
You are a member of a fitness club. You received an
email from the manager of the club.
Dear member,
I am sorry to inform you that the fitness center is
closing for a month from next Monday. The building
needs some repairs, and we also plan to install some
new equipment. What else do you think should be
changed? As the center will not be operating for a
month, what kind of alternative activities should we
organize in the meantime? We appreciate your opinion
very much.
The Manager.

the club. Write about your feelings and what you think
the club management should do about the situation.

SAMPLE RESPONSE 1

I I Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hey Sam,
Did you hear the gym’s closing for a month? I was
really disappointed! It’s part of my routine. I hope they
organize some online classes or maybe outdoor group
workouts. They could also upgrade the lockers —
they’re so old! Let’s stay active anyway!
Cheers,
Matt

= Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (134 words)

Dear Manager,
Thank you for your message regarding the temporary
closure of the fitness center. While I understand that
repairs and new equipment are necessary, I am
disappointed that the center will be unavailable for
such a long period.
Besides the planned updates, I suggest modernizing
the locker rooms and improving the air conditioning in
the training area. These changes would greatly
enhance the comfort and experience for all members.
During the closure, it would be helpful to offer online
workout sessions or organize outdoor fitness classes in
the nearby park. This way, members can stay active
and feel supported by the club during the break.
Thank you again for informing us, and I look forward to
seeing the improvements when the center reopens.
Sincerely,
Matthew Green

О Part 2 - Online Discussion (198 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Is it better to live in a big city or a small tow n?”
In my opinion, living in a small town is better for those
who enjoy peace, nature, and a slower pace of life.
Small towns are usually safer, less crowded, and less
stressful. The air is cleaner, and you often feel more
connected to the community around you. People are
friendlier, and there’s a stronger sense of belonging.
However, big cities have their own advantages. If
you're ambitious and looking for career opportunities,
4
cities offer more jobs, educational institutions, and
entertainment options. You can easily access
everything — from shopping to healthcare — and
experience cultural diversity.
Personally, I prefer small towns because I enjoy quiet
environments and outdoor activities like walking or
cycling. That said, I understand why many people
choose city life, especially when they’re young and
focused on work.
Ultimately, it depends on your lifestyle and priorities.
Some people thrive in the fast pace of city life, while
others value the calm of a small town. There is no one-
size-fits-all answer — the “better” place to live is the
one that matches your goals and personality.

QUESTION TASK 2
You recently bought a smart watch from an online
store. A few days later, the store sent you this

I I Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)
Hi Jake,
Remember that smartwatch I ordered? It came
yesterday, but it doesn’t turn on at all! I contacted the
company and asked for a refund. They really need to
6
check their products better before sending them. I’m so
annoyed — I was looking forward to using it!
Talk soon,
Eric

= Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (147 words)

Dear Customer Service,
Thank you for responding to my complaint. I recently
ordered a SmartTech Watch from your website (Order
#12849), but the device arrived faulty. It does not
switch on or respond to charging.
I have followed all the instructions provided in the
manual, including charging it overnight, but the screen
remains completely blank. It seems like a
manufacturing defect.
As the product does not work at all, I would prefer a full
refund rather than a replacement. I am attaching a
copy of the invoice and a photo of the device for your
records.
I hope you can process the refund quickly. In the
future, I recommend testing all items before shipment
to avoid such issues. Thank you for your attention and
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Eric Harris
0 Part 2 - Online Discussion (197 words)
You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Do people rely too much on online shopping
nowadays?”
1think people have become too dependent on online
shopping. It’s easy and convenient, but many of us
now buy things we don’t actually need. With just one
click, people order clothes, gadgets, or food — often
without thinking twice.
Online shopping also affects local businesses. Many
small shops can’t compete with the prices and speed
of large websites. As a result, local stores close down,
and our communities lose important places where
people once gathered and socialized.
There’s also the environmental impact. Delivery trucks
increase pollution, and packaging waste has become a
serious problem. It may be convenient, but it's not
always sustainable.
That said, online shopping is helpful for people with
limited mobility or for those who live far from stores. So
I’m not saying it should stop — we just need to use it
more responsibly.
I try to balance both. I shop online for rare items, but I
go to physical stores for things I can find nearby.
Supporting local businesses and shopping in person
when possible helps the local economy and reduces
waste. We should think more before we click “Buy.”

QUESTION TASK 3
You recently stayed at a hotel during your vacation. A
few days later, you received an email from the hotel.
Dear guest,
We hope you enjoyed your stay at our hotel. We’re
sorry that some of our services were unavailable
during your visit. Could you let us know which part of
your stay was most disappointing? Also, what could we
do to improve the experience for future guests?
Hotel Manager
Task 1.1 - Informal Letter
Write a letter to your friend about your hotel stay. Say
what you didn’t like and what you think the hotel should
improve.
Write about 50 words.
Task 1.2 - Formal Letter

disappointment and suggest ways the hotel can
improve.
Write 120-150 words.

SAMPLE RESPONSE 3

^ Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hi Laura,
The hotel was nice overall, but I was really
disappointed that the spa and pool were closed. I was
looking forward to relaxing! I think the hotel should
have informed guests about this earlier and maybe
offered a discount. The breakfast was great, though!
See you soon,
Emma

г Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (144 words)

Dear Manager,
Thank you for your message. I stayed at your hotel
from April 10 to April 13. While the room and staff were
excellent, I was quite disappointed that the pool and
spa were closed throughout my stay.
These facilities were a major reason for choosing your
hotel, and it was frustrating to learn they were
unavailable only after arrival. I believe future guests
should be informed in advance if key services are not
working.
To improve the experience, I suggest adding
notifications on your website and booking platforms.
Offering a small discount or voucher in such cases
would also be appreciated.
Despite this, I enjoyed the food and found the hotel
comfortable. I hope to return once all services are
running.
Sincerely,
Emma Dawson

0 Part 2 - Online Discussion (199 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Do you prefer staying in hotels or using home
rentals like Airbnb when travelling?”
1personally prefer staying in home rentals like Airbnb
when I travel. They usually offer more space, a kitchen,
and a home-like atmosphere, which makes longer
stays much more comfortable. It’s also easier to live
like a local — you can explore neighborhoods outside
tourist areas and shop at local markets.
Airbnbs are also more affordable in many cases,
especially for families or groups. In a hotel, you might
need two rooms, but a rental apartment can fit
everyone together.
However, I understand why some people choose
hotels. They offer more services — like daily cleaning,
breakfast, and 24-hour support — which can be very
convenient. For short trips or business stays, hotels
may be a better option.
Still, I feel more relaxed in a home rental. I like having
the freedom to cook my own meals and come and go
without worrying about hotel rules. As long as you
check reviews and communicate with the host clearly,
the experience is usually great.
In the end, it depends on the type of trip — but for me,
Airbnb is usually the better choice.

QUESTION TASK 4
You took part in a school talent show last week. Now
the school coordinator has sent you a message.
Dear student,
Thank you for participating in the school talent show.

 SAMPLE RESPONSE 4

Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hey Anna,
The talent show was so much fun! I loved watching
everyone’s performances, especially the comedy acts.
I think they should improve the sound system next time
— some parts were hard to hear. Maybe shorter
breaks would help too. Can’t wait for next year’s show!
Talk soon,
Lisa

г Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (140 words)

Dear Coordinator,
Thank you for organizing the school talent show. I truly
enjoyed participating and watching the variety of acts.
My favorite part was the creativity shown by students
— it was inspiring to see such talent in our school
community.
One area for improvement would be the sound system.
During some performances, the microphones were not
working properly, making it difficult for the audience to
follow. Also, the event felt a bit too long due to
extended breaks between acts. Shorter transitions
could help keep the energy high.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m happy I took
part. I hope the school continues to hold events like
this in the future.
Kind regards,
Lisa Morgan

0 Part 2 - Online Discussion (198 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Should schools focus more on exams or practical
s k ills ? ”
1believe schools should place more focus on practical
skills rather than only exams. While exams test
knowledge, they don’t always prepare students for
real-life situations. Practical skills like teamwork,
communication, and problem-solving are essential in
most jobs and daily life.
For example, students might be great at memorizing
facts for a test, but struggle with public speaking or
managing a budget. By including more group projects,
presentations, and real-world tasks in the classroom,
students become more confident and prepared for
adulthood.
Exams still have a place — they help measure
progress and teach discipline. But they shouldn’t be
the only way to judge a student’s ability. Not everyone
performs well in timed written tests, and that doesn’t
mean they aren’t capable or intelligent.
Schools could offer workshops in skills like cooking,
financial planning, or even basic repairs. These things
aren’t usually tested, but they’re extremely useful in
life.
A balanced approach is best, but practical education
should definitely be given more attention. It helps
students become more independent and ready for the
real world.

QUESTION TASK 5
You recently rented a bicycle while visiting another city.

 SAMPLE RESPONSE 5

Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hey Dan,
The bike I rented in the city was actually great — it was
fast and comfy. But the helmet they gave me was a bit
too loose. I suggested they offer adjustable ones. Still,
it was a cool way to explore the city! You should try it
sometime!
Cheers,
Ben

г Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (144 words)

Dear RideEZ Rentals,
Thank you for your email. I recently used your bike
rental service during my visit to Riverdale and found
the experience mostly positive. The bike was well-
maintained, smooth to ride, and the pick-up process
was easy.
However, the helmet provided was too loose and could
not be adjusted. For safety, I recommend offering
helmets with adjustable straps or different sizes. Also,
adding a small map of bike-friendly routes would help
tourists explore the city better.
Aside from that, the rental was convenient and
enjoyable. I appreciated the flexibility of being able to
return the bike at different locations. I would definitely
use your service again and recommend it to others.
Thank you for your efforts to improve the service.
Sincerely,
Ben Taylor

О Part 2 - Online Discussion (196 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ What is the best way to explore a new city —
walking, cycling, or d riving?”
In my opinion, cycling is the best way to explore a new
city. It’s faster than walking, but still allows you to enjoy
the sights, smells, and sounds of the place. You can
stop whenever you like, discover hidden streets, and
cover more distance than you would on foot.
Unlike driving, cycling avoids traffic and parking
problems. You also save money and reduce your
impact on the environment. Many cities now have great
bike rental systems and dedicated lanes, making it
safer and more convenient than before.
19
That said, walking has its charm too. It’s great for really
short distances and for slowly taking in the atmosphere
of a historical area. Driving is only good if the city is
very spread out or if you’re with family.
Personally, I always try to rent a bike when I travel. It’s
healthy, flexible, and fun. Whether you’re following a
route or just exploring randomly, cycling gives you a
real connection with the city you’re visiting.
For me, it’s the perfect balance between speed and
freedom.

□ QUESTION TASK 6
You recently completed a short English course at a
local learning center. After the course ended, they sent

H \ Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)
Hi Sara,
The English course just finished, and it was awesome!
I really liked the speaking practice in pairs — it helped
a lot. I think they should include more listening
exercises with different accents. Overall, it was a great
experience, and I’d definitely recommend it.
Talk soon,
Nina
г Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (147 words)
Dear Language Center,
Thank you for the opportunity to attend your recent
English course. I found it both enjoyable and useful,
especially the speaking activities. Practicing dialogues
in pairs gave me much more confidence when using
English in real-life situations.
I also appreciated the teacher’s feedback and the
interactive style of the lessons. The learning
environment was friendly and supportive, which made
it easier to participate.
However, I would suggest adding more listening
exercises, especially using a wider variety of English
accents. This would help learners become more
comfortable with the diversity of spoken English. Also,
offering short writing tasks at the end of each class
could reinforce vocabulary and grammar.
Overall, the course was excellent, and I’d happily
recommend it to others. Thank you again for your hard
work and support.
Sincerely,
Nina Lee
О Part 2 - Online Discussion (199 words)
You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ What is the most effective way to learn a new
language?”
In my experience, the most effective way to learn a
new language is to combine classroom study with real-
life practice. While grammar books and vocabulary lists
are helpful, they aren’t enough on their own. You need
to use the language in real situations.
Speaking regularly — even with mistakes — helps you
improve fluency and build confidence. Watching TV
shows, listening to music, or following podcasts in your
target language also improves listening skills and
pronunciation. Immersion is key.
Another great method is language exchange. Speaking
with a native speaker who’s learning your language is
both motivating and helpful. It’s free, and both people
benefit.
Of course, everyone learns differently. Some people
need structure, while others do better with apps or
informal practice. But in general, the more you use the
language actively — by speaking, writing, and listening
— the faster you’ll progress.
Personally, I found that taking lessons while also
chatting with friends online and watching films in
23
English really helped me improve. It made learning fun
and natural.
So, don’t just study — use the language as much as
you can in daily life!

Hey Mia,
I went to that new restaurant downtown! The food was
delicious, especially the pasta. But the service was
really slow — we waited 40 minutes! I suggested they
train staff better and maybe hire more people. Still, I’d
go again just for the food!
Catch you later,
Leo

= Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (144 words)

Dear Manager,
Thank you for your message. I recently dined at your
new restaurant on Saturday evening. I was very
impressed with the food — the pasta and dessert were
especially delicious. The atmosphere was also
pleasant and comfortable.
However, I was disappointed with the slow service. We
waited over 40 minutes for our main course, and it took
a long time to get the bill. I believe the staff were trying
their best, but they seemed too busy.
To improve the dining experience, I recommend hiring
additional waitstaff or offering training to help improve
efficiency during busy hours. It would also be helpful to
inform customers in advance if there is a wait time.
Despite the delay, I enjoyed the meal and would be
happy to return. Thank you for considering my
feedback.
Sincerely,
Leo Adams

О Part 2 - Online Discussion (198 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Do people eat out too often these days?”
Yes, I believe people eat out more often than they
should. Fast food restaurants and cafes are
everywhere, and with busy lifestyles, cooking at home
often feels inconvenient. Eating out saves time and
effort — but it’s not always a good habit.
First of all, restaurant meals are usually more
expensive than home-cooked food. Eating out regularly
26
can quickly become costly, especially for families. Also,
many restaurant dishes are high in fat, sugar, or salt,
which isn’t good for long-term health.
That said, I understand the appeal. Eating out is social,
relaxing, and fun. It’s a chance to try new dishes and
enjoy time with friends. For special occasions, it’s
perfect. But if it becomes a daily routine, it may affect
your health and budget.
I think people should try to cook at home more often. It
doesn’t have to be complicated — even simple meals
can be healthy and satisfying. Cooking is also a useful
life skill.
In short, eating out should be an occasional treat, not a
daily habit. Balance is key!

SAMPLE TASK 8
You borrowed a novel from your school library. A few

Hey Liam,
I borrowed a novel from the school library — it was fine

Dear Librarian,
Thank you for your message. I recently borrowed the
novel The Giver from the school library. The book was
in good condition when I borrowed it, and I made sure
to return it the same way — with no damage or missing
pages.
To help students take better care of library books, I
suggest putting up simple posters in the reading area
with book care tips. For example, “Don’t eat or drink
near books” or “Return books on time and in good
condition.” A short reminder at the borrowing desk
could also be effective.
You could even organize a “Library Awareness Week”
to promote responsibility. Students need to understand
that damaged books affect everyone.
Thank you for maintaining such a great resource for
students.

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Should traditional books be replaced by digital
devices in schools?”
I don’t think traditional books should be completely
replaced by digital devices in schools. While tablets
and e-readers are convenient and save space, books
still have many advantages, especially in a classroom
setting.
Reading on paper helps with concentration and
reduces eye strain. It’s also easier to highlight, write
notes, and flip through pages when studying. Many
students find it more comfortable to study from a
physical book than a screen.
However, digital devices do have benefits. You can
carry hundreds of books in one tablet, and interactive
features like videos or quizzes can enhance learning.
They’re also helpful for students with learning
difficulties.
Still, there are distractions with screens — messages,
games, and apps. And not all schools can afford to
give each student a device.
In my opinion, a combination is best. Let students read
from physical books in class and use digital tools for
extra practice at home. This way, they get the best of
both worlds — strong focus during lessons and helpful
technology for review.
Books shouldn’t disappear; they just need to be part of
a modern learning system.

Hey Mia,
Thanks again for having me over! I had a great time,
especially during our movie night and cooking together.
Next time, I’d love to go hiking or visit that lake you
mentioned. Your family was so kind — tell them I said
hi!
Take care,

Dear Host Family Program,
I recently stayed with the Miller family as part of your
exchange program, and I wanted to express my
appreciation. They were incredibly welcoming, and I
felt like a part of the family throughout the weekend.
My favorite part was learning how to cook their
traditional dishes together.
Next time I visit, I would love to do more cultural
activities, such as visiting local museums or exploring
nearby natural sights. I believe including a list of
suggested local activities in future visits would benefit
both hosts and guests.
Overall, my stay was a wonderful experience. The
program is well-organized, and I hope you continue to
connect students with caring host families. Please pass
along my thanks to the Millers.
Sincerely,

О Part 2 - Online Discussion (199 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Is it better to travel alone or with friends?”
Both solo and group travel have their benefits, but I
personally prefer travelling with friends. It’s more fun to
share experiences, try new foods together, and explore
unfamiliar places with people you trust. Group trips
also feel safer, especially in new environments.
When you travel with friends, you can split costs for
things like taxis or hotel rooms, making the trip more
affordable. You can also help each other out if
something goes wrong — whether it’s getting lost or
having a problem with luggage.
That said, solo travel gives you total freedom. You can
wake up when you want, go where you like, and follow
your own pace. It can be more peaceful and rewarding,
especially if you enjoy being independent.
Still, I find that travelling with friends creates lasting
memories. You can take photos of each other, laugh
about small mistakes, and talk about the trip for years
afterward.
In the end, it depends on your personality and purpose.
Solo travel is great for personal growth, but for joy,
laughter, and companionship, nothing beats going on
an adventure with friends.

Dear Community Action Team,
Thank you for organizing last weekend’s clean-up
event. It was a meaningful and well-organized
experience. I especially enjoyed the team-based
approach — working in small groups made the tasks
more enjoyable and efficient.
To attract more participants in the future, I suggest
using social media to promote the events. Posting
pictures and videos from previous clean-ups can show
people the impact of their efforts. It would also help to
collaborate with local schools or businesses to
increase outreach.
Providing small rewards, like certificates or
refreshments, could also motivate more people to join.
Overall, I found the event inspiring, and I would love to

О Part 2 - Online Discussion (197 words)

You are participating in an online discussion fo r
language learners. The question is:
“ Should more young people take part in
com m unity service?”
Yes, I strongly believe that more young people should
take part in community service. It helps build a sense
of responsibility, teamwork, and connection to the local
area. Volunteering also teaches useful skills that you
can’t always learn in a classroom.
For example, by joining clean-up events or food drives,
young people learn how to organize tasks, solve
problems, and work with different kinds of people.
These are all valuable life experiences. It also looks
great on job or university applications because it shows
initiative and dedication.
Some think young people are too busy with school or
social media, but community service doesn’t have to
take much time. Even helping out for a few hours a
month can make a big difference.
To increase involvement, schools should offer
volunteer programs or include service as part of the
curriculum. Making volunteering more fun — like
organizing competitions or social events — could also
attract more teens.
In short, community service helps both the community
and the volunteers. It makes young people more active
citizens and improves the world around them.

0 Part 2 - Forum Post: “ Should students have to
wear uniform s at school?” (198 words)
You are w riting a post fo r a school discussion
forum about student uniforms.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
W rite 180-200 words.
1believe school uniforms are a good idea, especially in
public schools. Although many students dislike them,
uniforms actually offer several advantages.
Firstly, uniforms reduce pressure around fashion.
Without them, students often feel judged based on
what they wear. This creates social divisions between
those who can afford trendy clothes and those who
can’t. A uniform helps everyone feel more equal.
Secondly, uniforms save time. Instead of stressing
about outfits every morning, students already know
what to wear. This makes mornings simpler —
especially for teenagers who already struggle with
routines.
Some people say uniforms limit self-expression. While
that’s partly true, I think school isn’t the only place for
fashion. Students can still express themselves through
hobbies, conversation, or after-school activities.
Also, uniforms create a stronger sense of identity and
belonging. When everyone wears the same colors or
41
logo, they feel more united — like they’re on the same
team.
In short, I support school uniforms. They make school
life simpler, more equal, and more focused on learning.
Individual style is important, but education should
come first.

programs worth the cost?” (199 words)
You are w riting a blog post fo r a science and

exploration.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
W rite 180-200 words.
Some people argue that space exploration is a waste
of money, but I believe it’s a smart investment for the
future of humanity.
Exploring space pushes science and technology
forward. Many things we use every day — like GPS,
weather forecasting, and satellite internet — exist
because of space research. Even medical tools like
infrared thermometers were developed thanks to
NASA technology.
Secondly, space missions inspire people. When a
rocket lands on Mars or a telescope shows a distant
galaxy, young minds start dreaming bigger. It
encourages interest in science, engineering, and
problem-solving — fields that are crucial for our planet.
Of course, there are challenges on Earth that need
urgent attention, like poverty and climate change. But
it’s not a question of “space or Earth.” We can — and
should — invest in both. In fact, space research often
leads to solutions that help life here on Earth.
In short, space exploration isn’t just about the stars —
it’s about progress, discovery, and survival. The cost is
high, but the benefits are even greater.

О Part 2 - Forum Post: “ Is handwriting still

im portant in the digital age?” (197 words)
You are w riting a post fo r a student forum about
handwriting.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
Many people believe handwriting is becoming
unnecessary in today’s digital world, but I still think it’s
an important skill.
First, handwriting helps with learning and memory.
Studies show that when students take notes by hand,
they remember the material better. It forces you to slow
down and process the information.
Second, handwritten notes or letters feel more
personal. If you receive a handwritten birthday card, it’s
usually more meaningful than a text or email. It shows
time and effort, which builds emotional connection.
That said, I agree that typing is faster and more
efficient for long essays or professional work. We
48
should focus on both skills — not abandon one
completely.
In many schools, handwriting is no longer a priority, but
I believe we should still teach it, especially in early
education. Good handwriting can also improve a
person’s confidence in academic and work settings.
In short, digital tools are essential, but we shouldn’t
forget the value of writing by hand. It’s more than just
forming letters — it’s a form of expression and learning
that’s still worth preserving.

day workweek?” (199 words)
You are w riting a blog post fo r a workplace
wellness blog.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
The idea of a four-day workweek is becoming more
popular, and I fully support it. In my opinion, it could
lead to healthier, more productive employees and a
better work-life balance.
First, studies from companies that tried this model
show that employees are more focused and motivated.
When people know they have less time, they manage it
more efficiently. In Iceland, a four-day workweek trial
improved both productivity and worker satisfaction.
Second, it gives people more time for their personal
lives. Whether it’s spending time with family, relaxing,
or learning something new, the extra day off helps
reduce stress and burnout. In the long run, happier
workers are better workers.
Some say fewer hours could harm business, but this
depends on how it’s managed. Flexible hours, smarter
planning, and clear goals can balance things out.
Not every job can shift to four days, especially in
hospitals or public transport. But where possible, I think
companies should consider the change.
In short, working less doesn’t mean achieving less. A
four-day week may be the future of smarter work.

You are w riting a forum post fo r a culture
discussion group.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
1believe public holidays are still meaningful, but their
purpose has changed over time. While many people
now see them as a break from work or school, they still
play an important cultural and social role.
First, public holidays give people a reason to pause. In
today’s fast-paced world, rest is essential. These
breaks give families time to connect, celebrate, or even
just relax together. For example, during New Year’s,
my family gathers from different cities — something we
rarely do otherwise.
Second, holidays often reflect national identity or
shared values. Days like Independence Day or
Women’s Day help us remember our history and the
progress made by those before us.
Of course, some holidays have become too
commercialized. People often focus on shopping or
partying instead of the original meaning. But this
doesn’t mean the holiday itself has no value — we just
need to approach it more mindfully.
In short, while public holidays may not be celebrated in
traditional ways anymore, they remain important. They
give us time, connection, and cultural awareness —
things we still need today.

You are w riting a blog post fo r a youth website.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
In today’s digital world, I believe online friendships can
be just as meaningful as real-life ones — but they do
have different strengths and limits.
I’ve made close online friends through shared hobbies
like gaming and language exchange. These
relationships are based on deep conversations, mutual
support, and shared interests — not location. One of
my best online friends lives in another country, and we
talk more regularly than I do with some classmates!
58
That said, online friendships can lack physical
presence, which sometimes creates distance. You
don’t get to share everyday moments like walking to
class or grabbing coffee together. And, of course,
there’s always the risk of people not being who they
claim to be.
Still, online friends can be real friends — especially
when the connection is consistent, respectful, and
emotionally supportive. Many people have found
comfort and community online, especially those who
feel isolated offline.
So yes, online friendships may look different, but they
can still offer real value and emotional closeness —
sometimes even more than people we meet in person.

You are w riting a blog post fo r an environmental
website.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
Zoos are a controversial topic — some people love
them, while others believe they should no longer exist.
Personally, I believe zoos should only exist if they
focus on conservation and animal welfare.
There’s no question that some zoos in the past treated
animals poorly. Small cages, lack of stimulation, and
unethical practices were common. That kind of zoo
shouldn’t exist in the 21st century.
However, many modern zoos have improved. They
now focus on protecting endangered species,
supporting breeding programs, and educating the
public. For example, zoos have helped save animals
like the California condor and giant panda.
Children and adults alike can learn to care about
wildlife when they see animals up close. But this must
be done ethically — large enclosures, natural habitats,
and mental stimulation are essential.
Ultimately, zoos should not be entertainment centers.
They should act as centers for education, research,
and protection. If they can meet these goals, they
deserve to continue. If not, they should be replaced
with sanctuaries or virtual learning experiences.
In conclusion, zoos can still play a role today — but
only if they truly respect and prioritize animal well­
being.

most trusted news source. Newspapers are also useful
in areas with limited technology or unstable electricity.
That said, younger generations get news faster from
apps, websites, and social media. Digital news is more
convenient and often free. It can also be updated
instantly, unlike printed pages.
However, the quality of journalism in physical
newspapers tends to be more carefully edited and less
sensational. Many people trust printed news over
online content filled with ads and clickbait.
In my view, physical newspapers will never fully
disappear, but they will become more niche — like
vinyl records or handwritten letters.
So yes, digital news dominates now, but there’s still a
place for printed papers, especially for those who value
thoughtful reporting and a quiet, screen-free read.

in your neighborhood. A few days later, the
coordinator emailed you.
Dear member,
We’re glad to welcome you to our gardening co-op!

experience do you have with gardening? Also, which
kinds of fruits, vegetables, or herbs would you most
like to grow?

Write a letter to your friend who might be interested in
gardening. Say what gardening experience you have
and what plants you’d like to grow.
Task 1.2 - Formal Letter
Write a letter to the community garden coordinator.

^ Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hey Laylo,
I joined the community garden group! They asked if
I’ve gardened before — I said only a little. I told them
I’d love to grow basil, tomatoes, and maybe some
strawberries. Want to come with me one weekend? We
could grow stuff and chill together!
— Rano

= Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (147 words)

Dear Coordinator,
Thank you for welcoming me to the community
gardening co-op. I’m excited to get started and meet
other members.
I don’t have much gardening experience yet. I’ve
helped plant flowers and herbs at home, but this will be
my first time working in a shared garden. I’m eager to
learn and contribute.
As for plants, I’d love to grow basil, cherry tomatoes,
and strawberries. These are not only easy to care for
but also useful in daily cooking. I think they’d be
popular choices among members, especially during
warmer months.
Thank you again for this opportunity. I look forward to
attending the first meeting and working together to
build a productive, green space.
Sincerely,
Rano Umirova

О Part 2 - Blog Post: “ Is artificial intelligence

making us too dependent on technology?” (199
words)
You are w riting a blog post fo r a tech and society
blog.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more common in
our lives — from virtual assistants to smart cars — and
while it brings many benefits, I do think we’re becoming
a little too dependent on it.
For example, we now use AI to make shopping lists,
schedule meetings, and even suggest what to eat or
watch. These tools save time, but they also mean
we’re thinking and planning less for ourselves. Some
people even use AI to write messages or complete
homework!
This kind of reliance may reduce our creativity,
memory, and decision-making skills over time. If we
always let machines do the thinking, we may forget
how to do it ourselves.
That said, AI is also helping in amazing ways — in
medicine, science, and education. It’s not AI that’s the
problem, but how we use it. We should treat it as a
tool, not a crutch.
In conclusion, AI is powerful, but we need balance.
Let’s enjoy its benefits without giving up the mental
skills that make us human.

Attending a Board Game Cafe Opening

You attended the opening night of a new board
game cafe in town. A few days later, the owner
contacted you.
Dear guest,
Thank you for joining us at our cafe’s opening night!
We’d love to hear what you enjoyed most. Also, do you
have any suggestions for future events or games we
should offer? Your ideas matter to us.
— Cafe Manager

Task 1.1 - Informal Letter

Write a letter to your friend who enjoys cafes and
games. Say what you liked most about the cafe and
suggest one idea for future events.
Task 1.2 - Formal Letter
Write a letter to the cafe manager. Say what you
enjoyed about the opening night and suggest ideas for
future events or new games to offer.

Task 1.1 - Informal Letter (~50 words)

Hey Davron,
Remember that new board game cafe I visited? It was
awesome! I told the manager I loved the relaxed vibe
and the team games. I suggested they do a monthly
game tournament. We should totally go together next
time — you’d love it!
— Nodira

= Task 1.2 - Formal Letter (150 words)

Dear Cafe Manager,
Thank you for a wonderful opening night. The
atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the
selection of board games was impressive.
I especially enjoyed the cooperative team games,
which created a fun and social experience. The staff
were helpful in explaining the rules and made everyone
feel at ease.
For future events, I would suggest organizing monthly
board game tournaments or themed game nights (e.g.,
trivia night, classic games evening). These could
attract regular visitors and build a loyal community.
Adding a few new strategy games or party-style games
might also broaden your audience. A short feedback
form or game suggestion box on-site could encourage
input from more guests.
Thanks again for the memorable experience. I look
forward to visiting again soon.
Sincerely,
Nodira Tursunova

О Part 2 - Forum Post: “ Is fast fashion doing

more harm than good?” (200 words)
You are w riting a forum post fo r a youth
sustainability group.
W rite about your opinion, giving reasons and
examples.
Fast fashion has made clothing cheaper and more
accessible, but in my opinion, it’s doing more harm
than good — both environmentally and socially.
First, fast fashion causes massive textile waste.
Clothes are produced quickly and cheaply, then thrown
away after just a few wears. This leads to overflowing
landfills and contributes to pollution, especially in water
systems from dyes and chemicals.
Second, the workers behind fast fashion often face
poor conditions. Many factories pay extremely low
wages and offer little protection or rights. Buying cheap
clothes may feel good, but it usually supports unfair
labor.
Of course, not everyone can afford expensive,
sustainable brands — that’s understandable. But we
can still be more mindful. Buying fewer clothes,
recycling, or choosing second-hand items are small
changes with big impact.
In short, fast fashion may seem convenient, but it
comes at a real cost. We should all try to make better
choices — for people and the planet.
