COVID-19 health protocol violators should be sanctioned. As we know, the number of people
infected with the covid virus is still ……………………….. in our country, but some people still ignore the
health protocol by not wearing mask and keeping their distance.
Firstly, the violators will continue to ignore the health protocol suggested by the government if
they aren’t sanctioned. By being sanctioned, they will feel deterred and ashamed so that in the future
they will obey the rules given.
Secondly, by sanctioning the violators, they will understand responsibility. Not only does it
prevent us from being infected by the virus, but adhering to health protocols also keep others safe. We
may not feel infected, but at least we prevent bad things by continuing to keep distance and wearing
masks. That way, we will fulfill our responsibilities to ourselves and others.
Lastly, giving sanctions to the violators will make them more aware of the danger of COVID-19. It
is said that WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic, which means that this virus is very dangerous, so it is
best to continue to maintain health and avoid COVID-19.
……………………., the health protocol violators should be sanctioned because of the reasons given
above.

Dear Nathan
How are you? Hope everything is okay with you. I’m all right here.
We are going to have the exam, aren’t we? Are you well prepared for it? Well, to be honest, I just have
some difficulties in preparing for it, especially in Science. There are extra lessons in my school and I take
them all. But, I feel that they don’t help. I’m still confused in solving Mathematic problems. I’m just
worried that I fail the exam. Do you have any suggestion for me? I really appreciate your help.

Dear Sir/Madam.
I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday's newspaper, “Schools fail low-income
children.” As the head teacher of one of the largest junior high schools in the city. I feel strongly that the
article does not describe our school.
My school has children from many different economic backgrounds, but a large percentage some from
lower-income families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well and benefit from the
excellent work our teachers do. Last year our school moved from 24m to 5th place according to the
official assessment by the state government. This is clearly not the ‘Failure" that the article suggests.
I would be strongly recommend that more careful research should be conducted in the future so that
your newspaper will more realistically describe the true situation in our schools.
Yours sincerely,
Joan Gonzales

Your advertisement in March 30 issue of the ‘Republika’ was attractive because I believe I have the
proven skills you are requiring for an administrative assistant.
I am Linda and I’m 22 years old. I recently completed a three course Apple Computer System. These
specialization skills have proven valuable in my work for the past eight months as an assistant to the
chief accountant at Galaxy Building.
Since ‘proven skills’ are best explained in person I would appreciate an interview with you. Please phone
me in the afternoon between and 5 p.m. at (021) 4733756 to let me know the day and time most
convenient for you.
Sincerely,
Linda

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they
should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for
them.
Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the
drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might
accidentally step on. If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as
drug users will still be addicted …………………. proper rehabilitation is imposed to them.
Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs
is better than only arresting them and …………. nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and
wholesalers should be imprisoned.
