Dear Sir or Madam,

I have seen your website and I would like to know more about your English courses.

I am interested in taking a two-week course in August. Are there any places available, and what are the start dates?

Also, do you have any accommodation for those dates?

Thank you for your help.

It would be interesting to study in the UK. But I prefer to self-study at home to improve my English.

To study English in the UK is my big dream! I would like so much taking a three-month English course. I need to improve my English skills, and it is more difficult to do this when you live in a country where people are non-native English. One day I will realize my dream!

Yes, I would like to study in the United Kingdom. I think the UK is one of the best countries to study. On the other hand, the UK has become a place for many people all around the world come, meet and share their thoughts. I like that multicultural atmosphere. I like the rainy weather too. However, the cost of living is really higher that my country. I guess that is going to be a problem.

Dear Sir, If you want that we have great progress in writing, my suggestion is to specify a topic so we write about it, and then you will correct it. Clearly, this is a very hard and time consuming task for you.
