    September 18, 2021 at 5:47 PM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2: OUTWEIGH ESSAY- FOOD

    In our daily lives with everything happening at a rapid pace, more people are substituting their main meals with junk-based foods. The advantage of this trend certainly does not outweigh the disadvantages as consuming fast foods daily causes health problems and affects society as a whole.

    Although these junk foods taste delicious and can be prepared quickly than conventional food, they are very dangerous to the person who eats such kinds of food regularly. This is because such foods are high in saturated fats which get settled and stored in the body causing obesity in people. Moreover, such foods are usually deep-fried and once eaten can cause the body to produce a toxic substance called cholesterol. Cholesterol causes blockage of arteries which makes people more susceptible to heart attacks. It is seen more people die at a very young age whose diet consists of mainly fast food.

    Everyone even children are addicted to these kinds of food and this is causing an alarming concern for the health of our future generation. Fast food consists of processed food high in sugar and fats and does not provide any nutritional value to the person consuming it. Had the person had eaten a balanced diet with all the vitamins and minerals needed for sustenance, his immunity would be stronger and would be more resilient to diseases. More often people look at satisfying their taste buds and this craving makes them addicted to junk food. This trend can also put a strain on the healthcare system of the country as a lot of money is used up in treating diseases that could be avoided.

    To conclude, if junk food is replaced with healthier food options, then the overall health of the person will be better. Less money will be spent on treating preventable diseases and the healthcare system can function properly and efficiently.

    Dear Mr. Dinesh,

    I am writing this letter to ask for your permission to grant me leave for one month on account of my brother’s marriage.

    My younger brother’s marriage is coming up in November which is less than 2 months, and he desperately needs my help and assistance for his wedding preparation and arrangements. A lot of planning and organizing is needed, and we have not yet started the process. There are lots of guests and relatives who need to be invited. Being my only sibling, I need to help him in this situation as it is my responsibility and for this purpose, I need 1 month’s leave starting from the middle of October.

    While I am away, I will be in touch over the phone with my colleagues and also will do the day-to-day work from home using my office laptop. I assure you none of the projects assigned to me will be delayed due to my absence.

    And those jobs that require my physical presence like meetings and discussions, I could manage by setting up a video conference call or voice call over the phone and I could brief my colleague Mr. Arshad to take over business meetings with the client.

    Hope you will consider my request and I look forward to a favorable reply from your end.

    Yours sincerely,

    Paul Hinder

    September 16, 2021 at 11:09 AM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2: DIRECT ESSAY QUESTION

    The increase in population has led to problems in a lot of countries where more homes are needed for the people. The main dilemma is whether these homes be made in existing cities or should they use up spaces in the countryside for building towns. In my opinion, we should utilize the space in cities more innovatively and curb the practice of overusing areas in the countryside as it harms the environment.

    Often, we see space in cities wasted due to improper planning by the local authorities. By effectively utilizing space and minimizing land wastage we can build more homes for people in cities. Most office goers prefer city life as it cuts their commute, and they reach their workplace faster. Innovative modern ways to build skyscrapers and homes can cut the cost down and also be more sustainable. Using biodegradable recyclable materials for building construction is cost-effective, readily available, and does not harm the environment.

    While on the other hand, if we use up the countryside for homes it would encroach into the habitat of other living things. We cannot harm the environment and other species of plants and animals for our needs. Another point is that if arable land is converted to towns, then other problems like shortage of farmlands for agriculture, soil erosion by lack of trees to hold the topsoil will occur. This will lead to a food shortage for the masses and the destruction of fertile soil which could be used for feeding the population.

    Hence to conclude, to provide homes for people more effectively it is better to use wisely the spaces in cities. Countryside and rural areas must go unharmed in order to conserve our environment.

    Some people believe that adolescent children should give attention to all subjects at school. Whereas others are of the opinion that most of these children should give their attention to subjects they are good at and most interested in. I agree with the former as if children are not taught all subjects, they would not know which subjects they would enjoy and decide to later pursue on.

    By learning all subjects, the teenagers will get a big picture overview of all the core subjects. Had they not been introduced to these stem subjects earlier on, they would not have an idea of topics that would later be interested in. Teenagers are in a growing stage, and everything is new to them. They can grasp knowledge more quickly, and it is the right age for them to learn such subjects. In order for them to adapt and learn about the world, they need to be formally taught all the basic theories about the main subjects. This will help them gain an overall picture and generate interest where they can choose a relevant field for them to specialize in.

    The knowledge they gained in schools about all subjects will help them in their careers and daily lives. Like for instance in jobs where they will work and mingle alongside engineers, accountants, medical doctors. Having the basic idea of all the subjects will help them make better decisions in their day-to-day lives. The everyday knowledge which we take for granted is got from these elementary subjects that are taught in schools. Basic knowledge must be taught in schools for this reason as it helps people converse and mingle with everyone in society.

    To conclude, by teaching all subjects in schools the teenagers will get an idea what to pursue in his career and also will help in his work and daily life where he has to interact will all walks of the society.

  • Some people prefer not to consult with doctors about medical problems that they suffer from, but rather opt for looking for reasonable solutions using technology such as the internet. In my opinion, if the online platform they use is trustworthy and correct, it could greatly improve the quality of medical care for the society.

    First and foremost, is the genuity of the online platform. If the website is not written by professional healthcare workers, it could lead to devastating consequences. The person and site owners who published such articles are not held accountable for passing wrong information in such cases. Strictly enforcing laws to curbing such practices and also by using only trustworthy sites can help. These patients who rely on such wrong information are the ones who are affected. They may try to treat their condition with the wrong medication and find no improvement. This constitutes a negative effect of using the internet rather than consultations with professional doctors.

    On the other hand, if the websites are genuine and the information is correct, people will benefit the most as it saves them time and money. Mild diseases can be treated without seeking professional advice by following the remedy and solutions for treating such diseases and from websites. This can save a lot of money from visiting the doctors who are mostly overloaded with patients. By treating such conditions at home, it would free up the precious and valuable time of doctors who can treat others who are in dire need of help. Moreover, the patient having knowledge and background about their illness can help the doctors to convince and explain to them the benefits of treating it more easily and also to make the right medical decisions.

    To conclude, if the online search for information is trustworthy and genuine then mild medical problems can be cured by the people, and this is a positive development.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    This is regarding the advert in Gulf today newspaper asking for volunteers to support a walkathon in Abu Dhabi. I would love to be part of this generous cause of helping the poor displaced people of Africa on account of the natural disaster that happened recently.

    The plight of the poor homeless people in Africa who lost their homes on account of the devastating earthquake is very saddening indeed for everyone. On account of this natural disaster, we must do our part to help these destitute people who have no means to support themselves.

    In the past, I had volunteered in countless events because I am very passionate to give back my time to help the community. My organization and management skills are really extraordinary which help in the successful conduct of all my past volunteering events that I had helped in.

    I could help by setting up signboards or by putting up the necessary barriers for the charity walk. Moreover, my family owns a dress company, and we could help in printing the T-shirts for the people who are going to participate in the walkathon.

    Hoping you would consider me for this noble cause.

    Yours faithfully,

    Paul Hinder

    With the widespread growth of supermarket chains throughout some countries, many small businesses are being forced to close down as they cannot compete with the services they offer. Some people believe that this trend will eventually lead to the complete removal of local communities. I agree that this is very true and evident in today’s society and the loss of local communities will in the end lead to the loss of local people’s livelihood and unique products indigenous to local communities.

    Small business owners are unable to stand and compete with the larger franchises as they do not have that much money for providing better services for the customers. Services like customer support and after-sales together with better promotion and price discounts are all ways how supermarkets attract people. Smaller businesses cannot reduce the price beyond a point as it’s unfeasible for the survival of their businesses. Another point is supermarkets can promote their products and establishment by broadcasting adverts online and on television. Local businesses do not have the investment for spending money on advertisements and hence potential customers are not familiar with such businesses.

    Most of the local customers favor supermarkets due to their many advantages. Every item they desire is available under one roof, thus preventing the need for shoppers to visit many shops. Small businesses cater to only selected items and do not have all items that customers may want. These local businesses promote sales of the local communities and they generally sell those goods that are made by local craftsmen and produce from local farmers. These unique items specific to that area helps in the livelihood of many communities and families. If local business perishes then these local communities and families will also suffer as they do not have a place to sell their goods.

    To conclude, the livelihood of the locals and families are the ones who are going to be most affected by the closure of small businesses as they depend on these businesses for the sale of their goods.

    September 6, 2021 at 12:45 PM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2: OPINION ESSAY:EDUCATION

    The purpose of education is to equip the children with the knowledge they need for the present world. Useful subjects like information technology should be given more weight than other subjects like art and music that have to be omitted. I completely disagree with this teaching methodology as by learning subjects like arts and music at a tender age, the child may develop an interest and can earn a livelihood later on in their life.

    Everyone is different and unique in their own respective ways. Some children may not find core subjects and teachings fascinating. They would rather develop an interest in other subjects such as art and music. Learning these skills at a young age helps them nurture their hidden talent and they can pursue a career in it. Art and music are being perceived as boring and uninteresting but they can be very satisfying and fruitful to those individuals that have an inborn talent. Children can, later on, develop their talent by enrolling later on in a degree in these fields. This will be a means of livelihood for them, and they can be quite successful as their passion will drive their ambition.

    Everyone has different tastes and not all individuals would find subjects like IT interesting. Some students may not be good in mathematics or science and it is his personal preference that makes him opt for his field of choice. On another note, both art and music help in promoting the nation’s culture and heritage. If the person becomes exceptionally good at his work, he can help in bringing fame and make his country proud. Remarkable paintings and classical music are prime examples that make a rich culture of the country. Had the children not been given a taste or developed an interest in such domains, they would not be able to create or appreciate these art forms and the countries treasures would be forgotten and lost with the generations to come.

    To conclude, to preserve the culture and heritage of a country, we must not cut subjects like art and music from the school curriculum. Some students will really enjoy these subjects and they will hone their inner talent and make a successful career out of it.

    A lot of museums have an entry fee whereas others are kept free of charge to the public. I am certain that the advantages of charging money are needed for improving its services to the people and for proper maintenance of the museum.

    Most of the museums are preserved by the government authorities and for them to run a museum it has to be sustainable. If there is no revenue from them then they cannot meet the day-to-day expenses. Staff salaries for securities, tour guides, and customer service representatives will not be a viable option had there not been an entry fee for the visitor. Another major expense is the maintenance cost where the museum uses the money for maintaining its pristine state, cleanliness, and bringing new artifacts of greater significance.

    The money collected at the ticketing counter can help in improving the people’s experiences and providing better services to them. Improved experiences like introducing newer artifacts, sculptures, and renowned paintings which can bring up the hype and attract a lot of people and tourists. A wide variety of services such as better customer service and providing more guides will all help in the improvement and enhance their enjoyability of the museum. Lastly, had the museum not been charged it will result in overcrowding and causes restriction of free movement of the people within the museum. The staff will not be able to control and monitor the excess crowd which can lead to chaos and eventually leads to poor management.

    To conclude, the advantage of charging people definitely outweighs the disadvantages as otherwise, it will lead to the inefficiency of the museum and failure to provide the best services for the people.

    More money must be spent on building railways by the government than on roads. In my opinion, I completely agree with this statement as it helps in reducing the traffic on roads by producing a faster and more efficient transport system.

    These days, the traffic on roads has become the main problem, especially during rush hours. The congestion and bottlenecks on roads have been a key factor for slowing our productivity and cause unnecessary energy wastage. By building more railways not only does it provide a different alternative than road transport but also is much faster and quicker. People can use the railways to get from a place to another with less time wastage and hence be more constructive at work.

    Fuels like petrol and diesel are very expensive and are what drive most cars. Nowadays, electric trains provide a cleaner solution and are non-combustible. Less toxic waste emitted means a cleaner environment and pollutant-free world. Another point is that railways help in developing suburban areas and outskirts where a railway station is built. Normally people prefer to live in cities despite the higher living cost just for the convenience’s sake of traveling. But with the introduction of railway stations in rural areas people can also cut down the travel time. This also helps in the wide-scale infrastructural development of remote towns and other localities near the vicinity of the railway station.

    To recapitulate, railways help in the growth of the country by the development of rural areas and also reduces the congestion in cities that depend on extensive roadway transport.

    Dear Smith,

    Hope you are doing good. It sure has been a long time since we have met, and we got a lot of catching up to do. Now, this brings me to the wonderful news that I got admission to a reputed university in your locality. However, I am in desperate need of a favor regarding a part-time job search.

    The course duration is for 2 years which begins in 3 months. The schedule is quite flexible and most of the studies happen during the daytime. I would be free on most evenings and also during the weekends.

    I will be taking a student loan and to pay off the debt, I would need a part-time job. It would additionally help to meet day-to-day expenses and pay for study materials. And as a bonus, I could kill the free time that I have and also learn a new skill by doing a temporary job.

    As I am completely new to the country, I do not have a clue on how to proceed on how to find a half-time job. To start off you could send me a list of websites where the job offerings are posted. Also, please spread the news to your friends and relatives about my job hunt.

    Please do keep me informed of any developments and hope to see you very soon.

    Regards

    August 28, 2021 at 10:27 AM in reply to: GT LETTER WRITING: LETTER OF COMPLAINT

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am writing this letter to complain about the road works going on near my home and how the noise is affecting our lives.

    My name is Paul, a resident of the Glenwood apartment complex having a family of 3 children.

    Since last month, the road works that happens especially during the night-time is causing a big nuisance for all of us. Somedays we just cannot sleep at night as the work continues till dawn. Sleep-deprived and tired we cannot do our jobs efficiently and this has come to a point where we cannot bear this any longer. The matter just gets worst during day hours with the large machinery that drills, pounds, and digs on the surface which produces large decibels of noise more than the permissible limits.

    As a solution, I would suggest that the work carried out does not extend beyond 8 pm so that our community can sleep without the disturbance. Also adding to it, the usage of noise-free types of equipment must be incorporated to reduce the sound levels to the permissible range.

    Hope you would take the necessary action regarding this problem.

    Yours faithfully,

    Paul Hinder

    Hi Kumar,

    Good to hear from you. It’s been a long time since we caught up. Anyways from your letter I understand you are facing a tough problem with Excel software at your job. I assure you have asked the right person for this doubt.

    I too have faced this same problem as we work in the same industry, and I tackle this in my own way which I discovered by researching the internet.

    In the past, I used to execute the task in a tedious monotonous way by manually entering the data in the required format.

    Fortunately, in excel there is an easier solution which is called pivot table. It is a built-in feature in excel and is very easy to use once you understand the procedure. I advise you to do some internet research on the pivot table and get back to me if you need any clarification regarding this.

    In the future, if you need any other help, you know who can help you out.

    Keep in touch and take care

    Best wishes,

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am a frequent customer who is often happy with the purchases made from your IT store. But lately, I am unhappy with the laptop purchased last week which I use mainly for my work.

    It is frustrating for me to see that the laptop although brand new, does not work properly. This device is too slow which drives me insane. The boot time takes forever and even the software applications render at a very slow pace.

    Obviously, my work is getting affected by this problem. I am getting calls from my manager for the delay in work and it is causing me unwanted stress and pressure.

    I want your store to resolve this issue at the earliest. You could either provide me a replacement or try to increase the speed and performance of the existing machine. The outcome I am looking for should be a reliable laptop on which I can do my daily tasks without it being a bottleneck for my daily work.

    Hoping for your immediate action to fix this issue.

    Dear Mr. Cris,

    I was your past student, a 2010 graduate from NITC university. I know it has been a long time since we got in touch and I am in desperate need of a favor from you.

    Recently, I came across a job opening in the Technip Chennai branch for the position of a planning engineer. The job is the right one for me as I possess all the required qualifications and experience that the job entails.

    This job is my dream job as the company is a multinational company. Besides the many perks that the job offers, I would get the right exposure and it would help me greatly in the advancement of my career. At present, I am jobless and desperately looking for a job to support my family.

    It would be of great help if you could put in a good word and write a letter of reference for me. You could mention all the skills, highlight the qualities that you know I possess, and that I would be an asset to any organization.

    Thank you for your time in advance and also for all your help and support.

    Yours sincerely,

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am writing this letter to bring to your notice the incorrect information in July issue of your magazine about my city.

    The article you wrote about my city Abu Dhabi was well detailed and elaborated beautifully but there are some inaccuracies in its origin story. In your magazine, it was written that the city’s main source of income was by trade. This information is wrong as the city got its name and fame from the oil discovery in the 1970s.

    Such inaccuracies should be avoided as they can change the perspective of the readers when they interpret the matter wrongly. Since your magazine has a far reach internationally, such articles will additionally jeopardize your magazine’s authenticity and bring down the reputation that you had built over the years.

    As a remedy, I would suggest you amend the mistakes and correct the information about my city. You could make a special mention of it in the editorial section on the next issue to catch the eye of your readers. Also, ensure that you recheck any articles in the future and avoid publishing wrong information.

    Please take the necessary action and looking forward to seeing the amendments in the next issue.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    This is regarding the philanthropic work your company is willing to do for our town and help you decide where to donate your money.

    Our local children’s sports team is in dire need of financial support. It is very evident that our town’s schools lack proper infrastructure and have a shortage of funds. We all are aware that these children are very capable and with the right training, equipment and facilities they can perform at a very competitive level.

    On another aspect, our town is known for its lack of vibe partially due to the absence of concerts and other fun activities for the people to be involved in. By sponsoring open-air concerts, the people would be delighted and also making our town livelier and more vibrant. Moreover, the fame will put our town’s name on top of the list and your company will be benefited by the visitors and tourists that come to visit it.

    In my opinion, it would be very much appreciated if you could sponsor the children’s sports team for two years as they are in most need of this support.

    Hope you would consider my suggestion.

    Yours faithfully

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I am writing this letter to give our company’s feedback on the all-day meeting held at your hotel premises.

    The majority of the participants were quite fond of the amenities and facilities that your hotel offered especially the large halls, plenty of chairs and tables, a large projector screen, etc. We all agreed that the hotel staff was very friendly and also courteous when approached.

    However, a lot of the participants were not happy with the catering services. Complaints regarding the food served cold and lack of variety of dishes were some of the concerns. A few even pointed that the food was a tad bit spicy and the number of starters was insufficient.

    As a suggestion, we all would love it if you would make improvements in the catering section. The food must be served piping hot to enjoy it to the fullest. Also, a name card of the spice level of the food could be mentioned to keep people aware of the spice content. More variety of cuisines like including lots of starters and introducing a live counter are some other suggestions.

    I hope you would consider our feedback and make the necessary amendments for our next meeting in September at your hotel.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    This is regarding the advert in Sydney Life magazine regarding looking after your 6-year-old kid and staying with your family for a period of 6 months.

    My name is Jane and I live in London working mainly as a nanny and partly as a home maid. I often feel that I am born to look after children as I simply love taking care of them. My tolerance level and endless patience in understanding different children, their needs, and their desire for attention are what I simply do the best. As a hobby, I take up painting and play the piano. During my time with your family, I could also teach your kid these hobbies with your consent. In my opinion, this would instill creativity and not cause wastage of their time on electronics such as Tv, mobile, video games, etc.

    Moreover, I would be the right choice for your family as I have a lot of experience as a daycare practitioner and can provide you all my past references. I am also a good cook and you will love the traditional English recipes that I can prepare. I could also do the daily chores such as cleaning and washing and I promise you would not need anyone else for the job.

    I have not been to Australia and I always heard wonderful things about this amazing country. During my leisure time, I would spend most of the time sightseeing the various landmarks and also trekking in the remote outbacks of Australia.

    Please consider me as I am the right fit for your family and you will not regret this decision. Hoping to receive a favorable response from you soon.

    Yours faithfully,

    August 6, 2021 at 6:51 PM in reply to: WRITING TASK 2: Positive or Negative Development Essay

    These days, people can purchase the same products from any place in the world resulting in similarities between countries. I strongly think this is a positive development and this essay will elaborate on why it is the case.

    With modern technology such as the internet, mobile phones, and computers, people can purchase any products they wish to buy from anywhere in the world. The process starts with the decision-making where they can compare products with different sellers, and also checking whether it meets their budget and specifications. The internet helps in spreading awareness of the better-quality product out there and the individual can know of its existence. In addition, he can even make the purchase even if it is not available in the local stores. This goes the same for local shop owners and domestic businesses, where they can get wide exposure and expand their business to places where they can get more revenue through online platforms. For example, ex-pats can enjoy a delicious dish with ingredients from their home country by transacting online.

    Another development is seen when big companies expand their business and push their products to new countries. Globalization can create better job prospects for the citizens of the country and help in the increase of government revenue through taxation. Mobile giant companies like Apple have established stores all over the world and have created a large job market for technicians, software engineers, and salespeople. The people are benefited by the new technology of the multinational company making them on the same level as other developed countries. Furthermore, the country can also impose a tax and create a good revenue from it.

    To summarize, both the individual and the country benefit from the availability of products from all over the world. As a result, it improves the lives of the people and helps in the rise of the country’s economy.

    Hope this letter finds you in good health and the best of spirits. I just want to let you know once again that we all had an amazing time at your place for the holidays and we can’t thank you enough for the wonderful moments we had.

    We all thoroughly enjoyed the stay, the lovely treatment, and the hospitality that you put up for us. It was truly a refresh from our jobs and a much-needed vacation. I know just thanking you would not be sufficient so I would like to invite you to our homes for the next holidays.

    However just as we got back, I noticed something peculiar. I couldn’t find my wallet and spend quite some time searching for it. I looked throughout our house and was very worried ever since. It was just until yesterday that my son said that he last saw it placed on the side table in your guest room.

    Could you please check in that location for my wallet? If you do find it, please keep it safe as it contains many valuable items. I am anyways traveling to your town next week and could stop by to pick it up.

    Hope you find it and looking forward to seeing you soon.

    Yours truly,

    Paul

    Some people think that we have numerous options out there for anything we desire. I agree with this statement and this essay will elaborate on the choices that we can opt for in our day-to-day lives.

    With the advance of technology in the past decade and the advent of the digital age, a plethora of options is present when it comes to watching digital content. People have unlimited choices of movies, on-demand video, and music through streaming services like Netflix, Hotstar, HBO, etc. The wide choices make people ponder over what to watch during their spare time. Another segment that has changed due to the internet is the ease of shopping. Online shopping can be done in the comfort of our homes and again we could purchase anything from anywhere in the world. An example of this is Amazon, an online shopping website that streamlines this process of shopping. However, we are often in a state of dilemma about the various options out there to buy, be it gadgets to simple tools or large household products like refrigerators or Air conditioners.

    On a separate note, most people are spoiled with choices of the restaurants and dishes they can try or what they savor. Mobile applications from Zomato and Swiggy facilitate this service by providing food delivery. Wide choices of cuisine like Chinese, Arabic or even European can be tried out from the selection of restaurants nearby one’s homes. The same goes for the dress and daily wear clothes that a person can choose from. Be it the latest trends in fashion or dressing styles of a bygone era, the choices are countless.

    To conclude, there are various options available to be selected by the people. It is up to the individual to make the right decision that fits his needs when he decides to make a purchase.

    Some people believe that it is imperative to keep both your homes and workplace clean by neatly organizing your belongings. I also agree with them that a person is more systematic and disciplined when he does this by keeping his surroundings clean and in an orderly fashion.

    A more organized individual keeps his home very clean and tidy. From my perspective, by keeping his home clean he can feel more relaxed than someone who makes a mess and keeps his home untidy. If the person has a structured routine lifestyle, he is bound to keep his home neatly organized. Like for instance, an organized person will find his clothes for work all pressed in his wardrobe and ingredients for his morning breakfast all stored in his fridge. He will wash his utensils and keep his dishes organized so that he can use them the next day. He would clean the carpets, scrub the floors and take out the trash to keep his home spot on for him to be more relaxed and comfortable at his home.

    This goes the same in his workplace environment also. A person who keeps his desk clean and systematically sorts his work files in cabinets according to daily priorities performs better at work. He is more efficient, and he does not waste his time unwantedly searching for misplaced files. A person who organizes and cleans his desk tells the character of the person. His colleagues and superiors will have a lasting impression of his personality and will appreciate his methodological work style.

    To recapitulate, keeping our homes and workstations clean says a lot about a person’s character and personality. He can perform better at work by being organized and relax better at his home by keeping it tidy.

    Some people believe that money plays a vital role in instilling and promoting happiness. However, in my opinion, there are other reasons apart from the money that can make people happy like one’s physical health and job satisfaction.

    I completely agree that people who lead a simple and meaningful life can be very contended. If the person has a sense of purpose, a reason to wake up every day, and provides for their family, then they will be in my opinion be the happiest person. Although money can buy you mostly anything, it is sadly not the case. Just like one’s health which cannot be purchased or restored once lost. Happiness will come automatically if the person is mentally and physically fit. Without their health, they cannot enjoy their wealth and cannot travel and see new places just as when they were fitter and younger. A different segment of people are business people who show off their wealth to others but they may have many problems and tensions along with social insecurities that can cause them to be unhappy.

    Other factors that contribute to happiness are people’s close family members and friends. People are social beings and if they are surrounded by their close family and friends at the time of need, they can think and act properly. Their ups and downs are supported by their close kins and the advice and moral support they receive can go a long way in instilling happiness in their hearts. This goes also for celebrations like birthdays, if their loved ones are present, they can enjoy their company and will be more elated. Another factor that causes happiness is job satisfaction. If the person is not happy at heart with their jobs, then the very reason for living is not there. A sense of purpose and a feeling to be productive and accomplish something is there in every person. And if this purpose is absent, it can cause stress and can lead to unhappiness.

    To conclude, although money can bring joy to the person for complete true happiness the person must have a purposeful life inculcated by job satisfaction together with sound health.

    People in a foreign country have to overcome severe social obstacles and tackle practical hurdles when they have to speak a new language. I completely agree that these are some of the fundamental problems that a person will face in the above situation.

    While living in a foreign country where no one speaks the know dialect of the person, he/she is bound to face many social problems. Not being able to communicate their ideas clearly and fluently as they are used to do in their mother tongue is the main cause of these problems. Moreover, due to this reason, they are considered foreigners and find it hard to mix and mingle with the local community. Such people face boredom by being separated from society and become lonely. Also, there are many other social problems that the person may have to endure such as racism and crime. Being a minority, they gather unwanted attention and can be easy targets for racism. They can be discriminated against by their ethnicity, color, or creed. Crime rates are more for such people as they are not knowledgeable of the routine way of life in their new environments.

    Practical problems are some of the other aspects that these immigrants or expatriates will have to face when they land on foreign soil. Day-to-day activities are much harder because of their lack of communication skills in the foreign language. Simple things like asking for directions for a place or finding accommodation for living will seem like a very daunting task. Not being able to converse fluently will make general tasks seem complicated and confusing for the foreigner. The ability to quickly adapt to the new society and overcome these practical challenges will make the person feel at home quicker.

    To conclude, a foreigner in new lands has to endure lots of hardships and face lots of social and practical problems. If they can endure successfully, they would have adapted and be considered one amongst the people.

    Dear Sir,

    I am writing to request your permission for me to be temporarily transferred to our firm’s head office in Toronto for a period of 6 months.

    Our company’s head office in Canada has a variety of training programs from experts of our domain for newer technologies that I am not familiar with. On completing these programs, I would have solidified my concepts and have a complete understanding of our specialized field.

    While I am working abroad, I will handle most of my responsibilities remotely over the internet and those tasks that cannot be done without my physical presence, I will hand over to my colleague Ms. Grace. I will assure you that none of my work will go pending and I will be able to meet our targets the same as before.

    It would be really appreciated if you could recommend me to the board of directors to facilitate my special request. After I have returned, our branch would be benefited from the knowledge I have gained and this will certainly improve the performance and keep us on the cutting edge.

    Thank you in advance for all your help and support.

    Yours sincerely,

    Paul Hinder
