TASK 1 SAMPLE RESPONSE

Dear Ms. Jackson,

I am writing you to suggest that my colleague, Corina Miller, is very deserving of the Employee of the
Year award this year.

As you know, Corina is on our customer help team. She assists our customers when they have
questions or problems with our products. She’s either on the phone or on our internet chat board all
day, every day, making sure our customers are happy.

A few months ago, I had my first direct experience collaborating with Corina. A customer called her
with a technical problem, and Corina asked for my assistance to address the matter. Corina and I
worked together on the issue until we found the solution. The customer was very satisfied to receive
such thorough assistance from Corina. He even commented that it was this level of service that will
bring him back to our company as a customer in the future.

Since this initial experience, I have had several opportunities to work with Corina on customer support
issues. She stands out to me because I recognize how much care and concern she puts into each
inquiry. It’s clear her commitment to service has a profound impact on our customers.

I hope you will consider Corina for this year’s award!

Sincerely,

Bob
TASK 2 SAMPLE RESPONSE
Some schools have begun supplying students with computers or tablets that they can use instead of
texts and other printed resources. This shift towards technology offers several environmental and
educational benefits, while the drawbacks relate to the sharp increase in “screen time” for students and
 TASK 1 SAMPLE RESPONSE
the possibility that the devices will cause distractions in school.

One major benefit of providing computers and tablets to students is the opportunity to save paper
resources. Even though paper is easily recycled, it still requires a lot of energy to produce. Adopting
these technologies will make schools much more environmentally friendly. Computers and tablets also
possess unique educational value. On a very basic level, students must learn how to use computers to
thrive in the modern world. Just like learning math or reading, computer proficiency has become an
essential and basic life skill.

Replacing paper-based learning resources with technology does have some disadvantages. One area of
growing concern is the amount of time young people spend in front of screens. With cell phones,
computers, and television, many children already spend hours outside of school staring at devices.
Some medical professionals suggest that all of this screen time may have negative effects on a child’s
physical and psychological health. Therefore, adding screen time in school may exacerbate an already
serious problem. A second drawback is that tablets and computers can cause distractions. There is a lot
of unsuitable material for school on the web. Putting devices in students hands opens the possibility
that students will use these devices in ways that are not educationally sound.

In conclusion, replacing traditional paper learning materials with devices like computers and tablets
has some very clear environmental and educational advantages. However, schools must take care to
monitor student screen time and ensure that students are using their devices for educational purposes.
