 EXTRA CLASS

1.      Do you need extra academic support after class time?

è Yep, Supplementary classes can help the students to revise what they have learnt in schools. Like me, now, I’m studying in university, and I can take whatever extra classes to help me improve my skills, my knowledge about my major. I can get immediate solutions from the teacher which is not possible in self-study.

2.      Do you think sessions provided by study support groups led by students from the year above(tutorials) can be a good idea?

That’s always a good idea. When you study in a group

1.      How many emails in your future job would you expect to get per day?

10-15 emails per day

 

3.      Why do we send emails?

Nowadays, many people tend to use emails in their work. It makes everything more clearly.

And we can create great professional impression to people in company, the boss, or others.

So, I think that the main idea why we need to send emails.

4.      What makes a person an effective email writer?

To become a person good at writing email, you need to have some absolutely skills like:

- You need to read a lot.

- Develop good habits, I mean you practice writing every single day.

- Especially, you need to have spirit of learning new things.

That what I mean to say.

5.      Make a list of writing rules that would make a person an effective writer.

There are many soft skills we need to learn day by day and how to write in a professional way is an important skill we need to learn. In my opinion, these are some writing rules that would make a person an effective writer:

-          Make good use of subject lines.

-          Be polite.

-          Be clear, be brief.

-          Don’t overcommunicate by emails( if you want to say more, you can have a real conservation or contact by phone, not emails).

And to do that, you need to practice a lot to improve your writing skills.

Dear hostess,

I want to complain about the poor service when staying at your hotel in Vung Tau on 5th Sept.

Firstly, I booked a room with a view of the sea and being given the one with a view of the car park.

Secondly, the receptionist was very rude to my wife and there wasn’t enough hot water for us to have a shower for the first two days.

Finally, the service in the restaurant was too slow and we had to wait at least half an hour for meals.

We are interested in how your hotel can make up for the inconvenience that we have experienced.

Appreciatively,
