Formal Letter

I thought my formal letter was a good writing, and it was definitely the one I learnt the most with, so I decided to pst it here. Here it is:

Dear Mrs. Pintó,

I am Nicole Schlagbauer, a 17 years old student at IES Castelló d’Empúries. Last week we were talking in class about the changes in the school calendar, and I am writing to give my opinion about that change. It is an interesting topic for students and I would like to focus not only on its disadvantages, but also on good points.

On the one hand, I understand that some people do not like to start school at the 7^th September. I also agree that our holidays seem to be shorter every year. On the other hand, that week which will be removed from the summer holidays will be a holiday week in February, so it is not always a disadvantage. We will have more free time other months of the year and the summer holidays are still very long. Moreover, I do not think that a week less of summer holidays does really make a difference. But a free week in February possibly can, because not long after that there will be a lot of exams and students have got more time to organize themselves for them.

In my experience, the summer holidays can be boring sometimes, especially when friends and classmates are away on holidays and you stay at home. I have had less summer vacation, but some more on other times of the year in Germany, and we did almost always have a free week before exams.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Nicole Schlagbauer
