You want to improve your English and you have seen an advertisement offering private English lessons. Write your letter asking for more information.

Dear Mr Thompson,

I am writing in reference to your advertisement on the notice board at Baines High School for private English lessons.

I am sixteen-year-old high school student and I have recently passed the First Certificate examination. I wish to improve my English further so I can sit the Proficiency examination which I believe will help me to find a well-paid job when I leave school.

There are a number of questions I would like to ask. Firstly, I would like to know where the lessons will take place. Also, could you tell me on what days and at what times the lessons will take place ? I am also interested in finding out whether the tuition will be individual or in small groups.

I can be contacted at the above address or by telephone on 01253-701514. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

James Green

Dear Sir/Madam,

l am writing in response to your advertisement in the The Bingley Times on March 2nd. I am very inter­ested in joining your Dance-Aerobics classes and would be grateful if you could answer a few questions I have.

Your advertisement states that the number in the classes is kept to a minimum. How many people are there in each class? As I work every day until 5 o'clock, I would also like to know the times of the classes.

In addition, I would like to know if I need any spe­cial shoes or clothes for the classes, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could give me details of where to purchase any necessary equipment.

Finally, as it is my intention to attend these classes regularly, could you also send me details of prices and membership fees?

Thank you for your kind attention. Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Elaine Richards
