EMAIL –
You are taking an evening class at your local university, which is related to your job. On the last day of class, your professor announces that she is leaving the university because she was hired as a full-time professor at another university.
Write an email to your professor in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:
- Express how you feel about her leaving and her new position.
- Explain what you enjoyed about her class.
- Request to stay in contact and suggest a few ways to do so.
Dear Ma’am,
I am Linda Evans and I attended your Accounting class during the summer session of 2023 at Pacific University, where you taught the evening batch. I am extremely happy to know that you have got a new career opportunity and will soon be working as a full-time professor at Fraser University.
I greatly enjoyed attending your classes and learning from you. Your in-depth knowledge of Accounting principles and procedures coupled with real life examples made understanding the subject a piece of cake. Furthermore, your personal attention to my shortcomings along-with careful hand-holding through difficult parts of the subject greatly enhanced my confidence, soothing away all my apprehensions in my capabilities. It helped me perform my job accurately and better equipped with knowledge. Rarely does one come across a teacher who puts so much heart and soul in her duty as you do.
Though you embark on a new journey, I request that we stay connected in the future. I could write to you on your e-mail or connect with you through LinkedIn, if you prefer. It would be an honour for me to keep in touch with an amazing teacher like you. My e-mail ID is linda@email.
I wish you all the very best for your future.
Regards,
Linda Evans

Workplace Fundraiser Project Survey
Your manager is surveying your opinion about fundraising for the community. This year’s fundraising goal is $1,000. One option is to sell $2 chocolate bars to friends and family over a period of two months. The other option is to host a dinner party at a local restaurant for family and friends and charge each guest $30.
Choose the option that you prefer. Why do you prefer your choice? Explain the reasons for your choice. Write about 150-200 words.
Option A: I would like to sell chocolate bars for two months.
Option B: I would like to help plan and host a dinner party.
I would like to sell chocolate bars to family and friends over a two-month period to collect proceeds for the fundraiser. My preference stems from two main reasons.
At the outset, chocolate bars are an inexpensive option for everyone. One would not think twice handing out 2 dollars for a charitable cause since it’s a humble amount. Since human psyche thrives on the feeling of having helped out others, buying inexpensive chocolates will have a wider appeal as it would offer people a feel-good factor at a very little cost.
Another important factor is that many people have food allergies and since ingredients in a chocolate bar are written on the wrapper, there will be no chance of causing any harm to anyone. For example, if anyone is allergic to nuts, they can buy milk chocolate instead.
Conversely, cooked meals normally contain many ingredients and people with allergies may feel apprehensive about eating them. As they will have only a limited choice of dishes to eat, they may be reluctant to buy expensive tickets to the dinner party.
Hence, in my opinion, it is easier to sell chocolate bars to everyone and achieve our target of collecting 1000 dollars.
