Dear Robin,

I am very delighted to participate in the sports camp in the mountainous area next month
with you and your classmates in Canada which is a place famous for outdoor sports. I am
sure that this trip will be a memorable experience in my life and we'will have a chance to
enjoy a grand party full of all kinds of popular sports which will entertain ourselves very
much. I enjoy playing a variety of sports that you mentioned in the letter, especially
playing tennis. You know, I was very proud of winning a champion trophy at the tennis
tournament held last year in my city. Moreover, as a person who loves living in a fresh
and clean surroundings, I would like to sleep in tents to have an opportunity to breathe
the clean air and live in a natural environment. Being fond of gastronomy, I am good at
cooking some special dishes like Italian spagetty and pizza which are specially unique to
entertain you during the camping time. Definitely, I am going to book a flight ticket well
in advance and arrive in your hometown 3 days before the camp to buy some thing
neccessary for the outdoor activities and some sports equipments available in the city
with reasonable price .

I am looking forward to the sports camp. See you soon. John.

Discuss both views and give your opinion

Some people believe that studying at university or college is the best route to a
successful career, while others believe that it is better to get a job straight after
school.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

When they finish school, teenagers face the dilemma of whether to get a job or
continue their education. While there are some benefits to getting a job straight after
school, I would argue that it is better to go to college or university.
The option to start work straight after school is attractive for several
reasons. Many young people want to start earning money as soon as possible. In this
way, they can become independent, and they will be able to afford their own house or
start a family. In terms of their career, young people who decide to find work, rather
than continue their studies, may progress more quickly. They will have the chance to
gain real experience and learn practical skills related to their chosen profession. This
may lead to promotions and a successful career.
On the other hand, I believe that it is more beneficial for students to continue their
studies. Firstly, academic qualifications are required in many professions. For
example, it is impossible to become a doctor, teacher or lawyer without having the
relevant degree. As a result, university graduates have access to more and better job
opportunities, and they tend to earn higher salaries than those with fewer
qualifications. Secondly, the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, and
sometimes there are hundreds of applicants for one position in a company. Young
people who do not have qualifications from a university or college will not be able to
compete.
For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that students are more likely to be
successful in their careers if they continue their studies beyond school level.
