Dear Danny,
Thank you a lot for your last letter. It was a nice surprise to hear from you. I'm sorry I haven't written to you earlier but I had to organise some things concerning my trip.
As you probably remember I've always wanted to visit some unusual places. And now, at last, off I went! However, you'd never guess where I've chosen to spend my holiday. It's Antarctica! You would never think of it, would you? I'm so excited about the whole event!
The people I travel with are incredible.They know every path in the snow by heart and they are very helpful. Moreover, they share their knowledge and experience with me. Would you believe that here everything is different? You even need to set your tent in a special way. It's all very challenging. Tomorrow we plan to move further North so I may not be able to stay in touch for a while.
In conclusion, I'd like to meet you when I get back. Hope you are enjoying your holiday. Do write back soon.
Yours,Etty

Many people think that it is good for students to have part-time jobs.Others believe that it is better for them not to work at all.In this composition I will discuss both points of view and express my opinion on the matter.
Having a part-time job has a number of benefits.Firstly,it can provide extra income.This can be used to help pay for college fees or for renting accommodation.A second benefit is that students can gain work experience before they finish their studies.As a result they can get better permanent jobs later.
However,there are also disadvantages.The most important of these is that most students do not have much time to spend working.Furthermore,many part-time jobs involve working at night or at weekends when they should be resting.Finally, it is worth stating that part-time jobs are sometimes badly paid. In my opinion,the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
In conclusion, the benefits of part-time work can be long term but the disadvantages are only temporary.students should find jobs if they can."
