Sample letter:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inquire about an advertisement I saw posted on a newspaper last Sunday that mentioned about your hospital looking for volunteers to work part-time. I am very much interested and willing to be a part of this.

I am a university student studying Accounting. I would like to work in your hospital since I think it would be a good stepping stone for me once I graduate from college. I also believe that it is a great way for me to understand how to be more responsible and useful for our community.

That being said, I would like to offer my knowledge and skills related to my major. I can do a lot of bookkeeping tasks and even other technical computing skills for I am proficient in the use of a computer.

If given this chance, I would like to start from Wednesdays to Fridays in two weeks. I am currently finishing my school requirements during Mondays, Tuesday, and Saturdays so I will not be available on those days. However, during my free days, I can dedicate five to eight hours of work in your hospital.

I am looking forward to hearing your response any time soon.

Best regards,

Joyce Smith

Cambridge 11 Test 3 Writing Task 1

Sample: The data from the line graph illustrates the carbon dioxide emissions of an average individual per metric tonnes in four European countries every decade from 1967-2007.A closer look at the data highlights the fact that among the 4 nations, the UK has the highest rate in carbon dioxide emissions per person in 40 years. In 1967, there was approximately 11 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide released by an average Englishman which was about ten times higher than the emissions made by an individual from Portugal. However, it can be seen that as time went by, the carbon dioxide emitted by Englishmen decreased gradually to over 8 metric tonnes in 2007. On the other hand, a different trend can be noted in the countries Italy and Portugal where the emissions slowly rose from an initial rate of approximately 4 and 1 metric ton to about 7 and 6 metric tonnes in 4 decades. In Sweden, emissions increased to its record highest in 1977 w...

Sample: The pie charts represent the rate of distribution of water in three different sectors, industrial, agricultural and domestic, in six places worldwide. Generally speaking, the use of water for agriculture has the highest percentage in almost all areas globally whereas water for household use has the lowest ratio. In central Asia, Africa and South East Asia, more than 80% of their water supply is utilized in the production of food which is almost two times larger than in North America that has a greater need in the industrial consumption of water with 48% respectively. Similarly, Europe distributes over half of their water supply in their industries which is far larger than the 5% rate in Central Asia. Water for household use accounts for less than one-fifths in the overall proportion in all six areas in the world. This data reveals that water is highly used in the production of both food and other commodities than for domestic purposes. Wo...
