Hi Taj, Nice to hear from you. Sounds like an interesting thing to be researching. It probably goes without saying that politeness is considered important in my country, although this is probably more true of the older generations. In the past, people used to think it really mattered that, for example, a man would wait until a woman sat down before sitting down himself, or hold a door open for a woman to go through first. You don’t see that kind of thing happening these days, perhaps because the idea of male chivalry seems a little old-fashioned. Come to think of it, you could even say it’s slightly sexist. Given that my generation spends a lot of their time on phones, a big part of what I consider politeness revolves around the way you treat people online. For example, if a friend likes one of my photos, I’ll probably respond by liking one of theirs back. If I didn’t do that, my friend might be offended, or think I wasn’t interested in him. These friendly online gestures are the little things that keep a friendship going. So that’s why they matter. I’ll tell you what I think will happen in the future. I reckon we’ll view politeness more in terms of how we interact with others online, rather than being concerned with things like whether someone eats with their elbows on the table, or their mouth open. I predict that stuff like that will become less and less important in the future. Hope that helps. Good luck with it! Noreen

FORMAL EMAIL
Dear Sir or Madam, Having read the article on fame on your website, and as an 18-year-old myself, I would like to respond to the views expressed. Essentially, I felt that the portrayal of people my age and our priorities was highly misleading . First of all, the writer claims that fame is ‘all that matters’ to us. This is a sweeping statement, suggesting that it applies to all young people. But that’s clearly not the case. I for one have no desire to become famous myself; the same if true of several of my friends. Furthermore, the article also states that young people who do want to achieve fame have no other goals in life, although no evidence is provided to back up this allegation.
There are, it has to be said , many people my age who do aspire to get recognition, whether by gaining likes and followers, or by excelling in business, sport or music. Nevertheless, there is no reason to be so judgemental about having aims such as these. Needless to say, a young person who dreams of becoming a rock star probably won’t manage to fill stadiums. But if they become proficient enough to play the guitar at a friend’s birthday, isn't it fair to say that they’ve at least partly achieved their ambition? I don’t accept for a moment that many young people are genuinely deluded about their chance of becoming superstars themselves. They may view fame as the ultimate achievement, and after all, what's wrong with that ? Kind regards, Rosana Lima

Dear Mrs Hardy, I was pleased to learn that a group of Portuguese pupils will be attending our school next term, and I would like to apply to head the team responsible for their programme of activities and for making them feel at home here. I believe that I would be well suited to this role, having been a mentor to two students who joined our class last term. I ensured that my classmates welcomed them and that they didn't feel left out. Having been captain of the hockey team last year, I have some experience in leading and motivating a team, which I think would be useful in this role. Coming to a new school may be daunting for our visitors, so I would make sure that the social activities we arranged, such as picnics and outings to local places of interest, would give them the opportunity to make friends and to practise their English. Along with this, we would organise a number of cultural activities, such as a visit to the local museum and an evening of traditional music performed by our college music society. I am confident that I possess the skills and the kind of sociable personality which would make me thoroughly enjoy fulfilling this role. If it is appropriate, I would be pleased to have the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. Kind regards, Marina Kosova

In spite of the widespread availability of convenience foods in supermarkets, most people would agree that cooking is a useful skill for young people to acquire. In this essay, I will discuss two ways that cookery skills can be developed: through classes at school and through TV and online videos. In the past, schools often taught students - particularly girls - to cook. This was a good way to provide young people with the basic techniques, but in my view, this is no longer an effective use of the school day. This is because, with the technological revolution, more subjects have been introduced to the curriculum and subjects like IT are more essential than cookery. Secondly, it is a fact that, in the modern world, TV cookery programmes and online videos are a more effective way for young people to learn cookery skills. For one thing, they can choose if and when to watch as part of their leisure time. What is more, there is a huge range of programmes on different cuisines, so people can choose the type of cooking that interests them. Finally, the competitive element to some of these shows is highly motivating. Upon careful consideration of the aforementioned arguments, I firmly believe that the that young people would be more inspired to learn to cook by watching TV programmes and online videos than by classes at school which would take time away from more useful subjects.

In this fast-changing world, education plays a greater role than ever in preparing children for adulthood. These days, not only do children need to learn the basics, such as reading, writing, maths and science, they also need to learn essential skills to equip them for life in the adult world. The ease of access to credit cards and high-interest loans has become a serious issue for society, and many individuals and households have found themselves burdened with debts they cannot repay. Schools can help children avoid finding themselves in such a situation when they grow up by providing lessons on money management which cover topics such as personal spending, budgeting the weekly income and saving for the future. Helping them understand how money works will provide them with an essential tool for adult life. Another important social concern is the rising number of unfit adults in the population. Living in an urban environment encourages people to lead sedentary lives, spending long hours in front of the computer. In addition, the easy availability of fast food results in them eating food which is not particularly nutritious. Children need to learn about healthy eating and the benefits of regular, moderate exercise, such as walking every day. Schools should also teach children to talk about and share their feelings and moods, and to know how to get support if they are unhappy or anxious. Of the two areas, I believe that the area of health is the more important. No matter how proficient we are at managing our finances, we can't function well in society without good physical and mental health.

My family and I had the good fortune to be there for the highly anticipated opening of the Island of Adventure theme park last month. Having won tickets for the very first day, my brother and I were extremely excited and arrived at the park before it even opened. The theme park is, in my view, most suitable for older children and teenagers. There are at least ten mega-rides for thrill-seekers like me, as well as several adventure-based attractions, which are not as fast but still great fun. To my surprise, there were only a few rides aimed at children under five, so in my view, this would not be an ideal day-out for a family with very young children. There are two rides that stood out for me, which I believe may become world-famous. The first was The Tower of Doom, which takes you up very slowly and drops you down at high speed. It is apparently higher than any other similar ride. The second is the Runaway Train roller-coaster. You start as if you're on a normal train, but suddenly, the ride goes mad! It is genuinely terrifying. All in all, a few aspects of the park's management could be improved. The staff could do with more training, as the queuing system is quite chaotic at times. Nevertheless, it is hard to put into words how fantastic the Island of Adventure theme park is.It would be a shame not to go and see for yourself, so I highly recommend that you check your calendar and pick a date.

A PROPOSAL
Introduction The reason for this proposal is our concern over the job prospects of young people in the Newbridge area. As things are, many of our school and college leavers face a hopeless future. Our proposal offers high-quality professional training and support which will guarantee their employability on completion of the programme. The scheme Unemployment among the youth in our town has risen to 25%, leading to a range of social issues. One possible solution is to offer incentives to local businesses to give free training and work experience to jobless youngsters. Ofuji (2020) reports the positive impacts of youth employment schemes like the one proposed. Benefits The scheme would offer advantages to both employers and young people. In addition to learning useful skills, the trainees would receive a small allowance and a certificate describing the experience they have gained. For some, this might lead to an offer of permanent employment. Employers would benefit from the contribution of the trainees and would also be recognised as a 'youth friendly' business. Other incentives for the trainees may include discounts at local shops, giveaways and 'local hero' awards. Encouraging participation Business owners would be invited to attend presentations at which the scheme and its benefits would be explained to them. The scheme's website, which would be linked to the council's, would offer free advertising to all participating companies. Case studies would be featured, giving the companies additional publicity. Conclusion A town that ignores its greatest asset - its young people - does so at its peril. It is essential that measures are taken urgently to provide our young people with a secure future.

Introduction The training programme for new staff at Vegan Village restaurant took place on the weekend of 25th/26th July. Six trainees took part and all successfully completed the programme. Evaluation The introductory training for new recruits was invaluable for all participants. It was particularly useful for the four trainees who did not have previous experience of restaurant work. The most valuable aspect was learning about plant-based food and how to advise customers with allergies. What benefitted me the most was learning how to address customers and deal with any complaints in a courteous way. Although it was an intense two days, it was also a pleasurable experience for us all. By far the most enjoyable aspect of the weekend was getting to know our future colleagues and taking part in role-play activities. Areas to improve The main issue with the training programme was that it was extremely intensive. Although a weekend course seems to be a good use of time, it was difficult to retain so much information in just a few days. In addition, many of us felt it would be useful to include some supervised interaction with customers to put into practice what we had learned. Recommendations I would recommend preparing a study pack for trainees to read through before starting the programme. This would enable them to process the information presented and avoid overload. We suggest that the second day should be devoted to hands-on experience within the restaurant so that we could be more confident when starting work on Monday.

Hi Taj, Nice to hear from you. Sounds like an interesting thing to be researching. It probably goes without saying that politeness is considered important in my country, although this is probably more true of the older generations. In the past, people used to think it really mattered that, for example, a man would wait until a woman sat down before sitting down himself, or hold a door open for a woman to go through first. You don’t see that kind of thing happening these days, perhaps because the idea of male chivalry seems a little old-fashioned. Come to think of it, you could even say it’s slightly sexist. Given that my generation spends a lot of their time on phones, a big part of what I consider politeness revolves around the way you treat people online. For example, if a friend likes one of my photos, I’ll probably respond by liking one of theirs back. If I didn’t do that, my friend might be offended, or think I wasn’t interested in him. These friendly online gestures are the little things that keep a friendship going. So that’s why they matter. I’ll tell you what I think will happen in the future. I reckon we’ll view politeness more in terms of how we interact with others online, rather than being concerned with things like whether someone eats with their elbows on the table, or their mouth open. I predict that stuff like that will become less and less important in the future. Hope that helps. Good luck with it! Noreen

Dear Sir or Madam, Having read the article on fame on your website, and as an 18-year-old myself, I would like to respond to the views expressed. Essentially, I felt that the portrayal of people my age and our priorities was highly misleading . First of all, the writer claims that fame is ‘all that matters’ to us. This is a sweeping statement, suggesting that it applies to all young people. But that’s clearly not the case. I for one have no desire to become famous myself; the same if true of several of my friends. Furthermore, the article also states that young people who do want to achieve fame have no other goals in life, although no evidence is provided to back up this allegation. There are, it has to be said , many people my age who do aspire to get recognition, whether by gaining likes and followers, or by excelling in business, sport or music. Nevertheless, there is no reason to be so judgemental about having aims such as these. Needless to say, a young person who dreams of becoming a rock star probably won’t manage to fill stadiums. But if they become proficient enough to play the guitar at a friend’s birthday, isn't it fair to say that they’ve at least partly achieved their ambition? I don’t accept for a moment that many young people are genuinely deluded about their chance of becoming superstars themselves. They may view fame as the ultimate achievement, and after all, what's wrong with that ? Kind regards, Rosana Lima

Dear Mrs Hardy, I was pleased to learn that a group of Portuguese pupils will be attending our school next term, and I would like to apply to head the team responsible for their programme of activities and for making them feel at home here. I believe that I would be well suited to this role, having been a mentor to two students who joined our class last term. I ensured that my classmates welcomed them and that they didn't feel left out. Having been captain of the hockey team last year, I have some experience in leading and motivating a team, which I think would be useful in this role. Coming to a new school may be daunting for our visitors, so I would make sure that the social activities we arranged, such as picnics and outings to local places of interest, would give them the opportunity to make friends and to practise their English. Along with this, we would organise a number of cultural activities, such as a visit to the local museum and an evening of traditional music performed by our college music society. I am confident that I possess the skills and the kind of sociable personality which would make me thoroughly enjoy fulfilling this role. If it is appropriate, I would be pleased to have the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. Kind regards, Marina Kosova

In spite of the widespread availability of convenience foods in supermarkets, most people would agree that cooking is a useful skill for young people to acquire. In this essay, I will discuss two ways that cookery skills can be developed: through classes at school and through TV and online videos. In the past, schools often taught students - particularly girls - to cook. This was a good way to provide young people with the basic techniques, but in my view, this is no longer an effective use of the school day. This is because, with the technological revolution, more subjects have been introduced to the curriculum and subjects like IT are more essential than cookery. Secondly, it is a fact that, in the modern world, TV cookery programmes and online videos are a more effective way for young people to learn cookery skills. For one thing, they can choose if and when to watch as part of their leisure time. What is more, there is a huge range of programmes on different cuisines, so people can choose the type of cooking that interests them. Finally, the competitive element to some of these shows is highly motivating. Upon careful consideration of the aforementioned arguments, I firmly believe that the that young people would be more inspired to learn to cook by watching TV programmes and online videos than by classes at school which would take time away from more useful subjects.

In this fast-changing world, education plays a greater role than ever in preparing children for adulthood. These days, not only do children need to learn the basics, such as reading, writing, maths and science, they also need to learn essential skills to equip them for life in the adult world. The ease of access to credit cards and high-interest loans has become a serious issue for society, and many individuals and households have found themselves burdened with debts they cannot repay. Schools can help children avoid finding themselves in such a situation when they grow up by providing lessons on money management which cover topics such as personal spending, budgeting the weekly income and saving for the future. Helping them understand how money works will provide them with an essential tool for adult life. Another important social concern is the rising number of unfit adults in the population. Living in an urban environment encourages people to lead sedentary lives, spending long hours in front of the computer. In addition, the easy availability of fast food results in them eating food which is not particularly nutritious. Children need to learn about healthy eating and the benefits of regular, moderate exercise, such as walking every day. Schools should also teach children to talk about and share their feelings and moods, and to know how to get support if they are unhappy or anxious. Of the two areas, I believe that the area of health is the more important. No matter how proficient we are at managing our finances, we can't function well in society without good physical and mental health.

My family and I had the good fortune to be there for the highly anticipated opening of the Island of Adventure theme park last month. Having won tickets for the very first day, my brother and I were extremely excited and arrived at the park before it even opened. The theme park is, in my view, most suitable for older children and teenagers. There are at least ten mega-rides for thrill-seekers like me, as well as several adventure-based attractions, which are not as fast but still great fun. To my surprise, there were only a few rides aimed at children under five, so in my view, this would not be an ideal day-out for a family with very young children. There are two rides that stood out for me, which I believe may become world-famous. The first was The Tower of Doom, which takes you up very slowly and drops you down at high speed. It is apparently higher than any other similar ride. The second is the Runaway Train roller-coaster. You start as if you're on a normal train, but suddenly, the ride goes mad! It is genuinely terrifying. All in all, a few aspects of the park's management could be improved. The staff could do with more training, as the queuing system is quite chaotic at times. Nevertheless, it is hard to put into words how fantastic the Island of Adventure theme park is.It would be a shame not to go and see for yourself, so I highly recommend that you check your calendar and pick a date.

A PROPOSAL
Introduction The reason for this proposal is our concern over the job prospects of young people in the Newbridge area. As things are, many of our school and college leavers face a hopeless future. Our proposal offers high-quality professional training and support which will guarantee their employability on completion of the programme. The scheme Unemployment among the youth in our town has risen to 25%, leading to a range of social issues. One possible solution is to offer incentives to local businesses to give free training and work experience to jobless youngsters. Ofuji (2020) reports the positive impacts of youth employment schemes like the one proposed. Benefits The scheme would offer advantages to both employers and young people. In addition to learning useful skills, the trainees would receive a small allowance and a certificate describing the experience they have gained. For some, this might lead to an offer of permanent employment. Employers would benefit from the contribution of the trainees and would also be recognised as a 'youth friendly' business. Other incentives for the trainees may include discounts at local shops, giveaways and 'local hero' awards. Encouraging participation Business owners would be invited to attend presentations at which the scheme and its benefits would be explained to them. The scheme's website, which would be linked to the council's, would offer free advertising to all participating companies. Case studies would be featured, giving the companies additional publicity. Conclusion A town that ignores its greatest asset - its young people - does so at its peril. It is essential that measures are taken urgently to provide our young people with a secure future.

Introduction The training programme for new staff at Vegan Village restaurant took place on the weekend of 25th/26th July. Six trainees took part and all successfully completed the programme. Evaluation The introductory training for new recruits was invaluable for all participants. It was particularly useful for the four trainees who did not have previous experience of restaurant work. The most valuable aspect was learning about plant-based food and how to advise customers with allergies. What benefitted me the most was learning how to address customers and deal with any complaints in a courteous way. Although it was an intense two days, it was also a pleasurable experience for us all. By far the most enjoyable aspect of the weekend was getting to know our future colleagues and taking part in role-play activities. Areas to improve The main issue with the training programme was that it was extremely intensive. Although a weekend course seems to be a good use of time, it was difficult to retain so much information in just a few days. In addition, many of us felt it would be useful to include some supervised interaction with customers to put into practice what we had learned. Recommendations I would recommend preparing a study pack for trainees to read through before starting the programme. This would enable them to process the information presented and avoid overload. We suggest that the second day should be devoted to hands-on experience within the restaurant so that we could be more confident when starting work on Monday.
