&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--------------------------------------------------------&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question given: Your teacher has asked for your recommendations on a one-day learning journey to be held during the june vacation. The objective of the trip is to allow the class to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of Biology and History. Your teacher has shortlisted 4 places. ... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Set your report out correctly, in clear, accurate English , and use persuasive tone to convince your teacher that the choice is the best recommendation.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To: Miss Huda&lt;br /&gt;From: YCC&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5th October 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dear Miss Huda&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;u&gt; RE: Recommendations for the one-day learning Journey&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have considered the four places which you have shortlisted. The four places are remarkable and I sincerely hoped to be able to visit all four places. However, I believe that the Zoo Management Tour and the Changi WW2 will be the best options for the one-day learning journey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Firstly, a visit to the Singapore Zoo will satisfy one of the objective of the learning journey. It allows the class to learn more and appreciate biology as Singapore Zoo is well-known for its endangered species breeding programme, open plan concept and public education programme. Futhermore, an animal specialist will be giving us a&amp;nbsp;tour and briefing on the reasons for implementing these programmes. Students can then gain knowledge and better understanding towards the animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To add one, Singapore Zoo allows students to observe animals&amp;#39; playful antics and feeding habits. The animals interesting behaviour will definitely appeal to many students. They will not only be able to listen to the fascinating facts about the animals but also be able to see real life evidences. I believe the memories and the fun-filled experiences, they will have, will be imprinted in their mind for a very long time. Not only can they have fun, but be able to benefit from this Learning Journey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As for the visit to Changi WW2, it will educate the students more on the history of Singapore, which is the next objective of the Journey. This tour commemorates the fighting spirit of men and women during World War II and internment. Changi was once a site of many prison camps (POW) during the Japanese Occupation. Students will be able to tour the places where the Japanese soldiers once set foot on. According to the given list of places covered during the tour. Changi beach, which was the site of the Sook Ching Massacre, will be visited where poor souls and helpless cries once filled that place. This way, students can learn more in depth on the sufferings and fear people lived during the war.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; On top of that, students are allowed to visit one of the Changi Prison camp. This will be an eye-opener for the students as for the first time, they will be able to feel the horror of war and&amp;nbsp;of being enclosed in a prison. The experiences they gained will teach them the moral values of compassion and also that war is not just a game, but instead, is a game of life and death.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; To conclude, these two places the class will be visiting will definitely enrich the lives of the students and allow them to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation for Biology and History. I must say, I look forward to this day of the one-day Learning Journey.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Please correct me for the mistakes! Haha! How&amp;nbsp;can&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;make it a formal letter writing yet friendly letter. hmmm... And how&amp;nbsp;should&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;improve on &amp;nbsp;the sentences and the organisation of ideas in a clearer and better way? Should my sentences be varied more? Is it too long?&amp;nbsp; There are so many questions !&amp;nbsp; I need your guidance! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank&amp;nbsp;you so much! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Formal letter writing should always be addressed &amp;#39;Dear Sir&amp;#39; in such cases of ambiguity - not even &amp;#39;Dear Sir/Madam&amp;#39;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gender equality might be a&amp;nbsp;quaint philosophy to live by, but it doesn&amp;#39;t hold up in the archaic world or written etiquette. And, I&amp;#39;m afraid, it&amp;#39;s not really a &amp;#39;choice&amp;#39;, either...far too much of a liberal phenomenon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cast&amp;nbsp;any feminism you might have stored up aside and - for letter writing, at least - check your Debrett&amp;#39;s.&lt;/p&gt;

  Well, I just read the list of members online and found this:

  --
  In the past 3 days, the most popular thread for  everyone  has
  been &amp;quot;Sample of formal letter writing&amp;quot;. The post with the most
  views is &amp;quot;Live chat room&amp;quot;. The most  replies  _were_  made  to
  &amp;quot;GUESS MY WORD&amp;quot;
  --

  The first two sentences are in a present tense while the  last
  one uses Past Simple. What&amp;#39;s the reason?

Thanks in advance,

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;I wish to improve on my writing. What critieria are needed for formal letter/ report/ account&amp;nbsp;writing ? Are there any examples on formal words used? How should i start the writing? What about the tone used. How can i sound less offending and informal?&amp;nbsp; How should I end? &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;----------&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;An example of our school paper: &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;E.g :&amp;nbsp; Your school has recieved a gift of money from a former student was is now famous. The money can be spent in any way and your principal has asked for ideas.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;Write a &lt;STRONG&gt;formal letter &lt;/STRONG&gt;to your principal with your plan. You&lt;STRONG&gt; must&lt;/STRONG&gt; include the following:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;- How much money was given.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;-How you will spend the money.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;-Why you will spend the money in this way.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;-How you will help to put the plan into action&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;-Why you think the former student will be pleased.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f4f4f4"&gt;You must cover all five points &lt;STRONG&gt;in detail&lt;/STRONG&gt; in your letter. You may add details of your own if you wish.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

I've been struggling with this point since I left Uni.&amp;nbsp; In Uni, my lecturer always encouraged&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the students&amp;nbsp;to use modern-style approach in business letter writing, that are - direct, simple, consice&amp;nbsp;and clear, which is&amp;nbsp;exactly what&amp;nbsp;you proposed. But when I actually&amp;nbsp;practiced that on my first job,&amp;nbsp;I was critised so badly by my superior&amp;nbsp;for having bad sense in writing formal letter.&amp;nbsp;Here are some of the examples I could still remember&amp;nbsp;she had&amp;nbsp;corrected&amp;nbsp;on my letter,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;"Kindly contact the undersigned ....." instead of " Please give me a call...."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;"We offer our humblest apologies for the unnecessary inconvenience that you have been casued in this instance." instead of&amp;nbsp; "Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience caused."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And I remember she told me this, "To make your recepient look up the dictionary is better than they read and think the writer is a high school dropout."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was&amp;nbsp;unable to figure what she meant then. But that wasn't important to me anymore, I quitted the job after 2 months&lt;img src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile [:)]" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: formal letter writing . . .</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/FormalLetterWriting/cjmrp/post.htm#214742</link><pubDate>Wed, 12 Apr 2006 18:38:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:214742</guid><dc:creator>Grammar Geek</dc:creator><description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Boss,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm writing to request a temporary reduction in my weekly hours.&amp;nbsp; Specifically, I'd like to adjust my hours so that I leave at X p.m. every afternoon for the period of June 5 through August 28, 2006.&amp;nbsp; I have the opportunity this summer to volunteer in the X program at the local Parks and Recreation, but it requires that I be there by y p.m. every afternoon.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request. I'd be happy to talk to you more about this program and how it will affect my job. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Sincerely,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Can you say something about how your company values communitiy participation, how this could in any way help you with your job skills, any connection to work? Will you lose benefits by going to a part-time basis, that you should acknowledge in this request?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
