Writing in English (Belajar Bahasa Inggris)

1- One of your neighbor’s children has accidentally broken the front
window of your car.
You should write a letter to his/her parents and in your letter you should
• introduce yourself
• explain how it happened
• and what they should do.

Dear Ms. Grimes,
I am your next door neighbor and I am writing to inform you that your
daughter, Sarah, broke the front passenger window of my Chevrolet Caprice
while playing softball yesterday afternoon. The car is brand new. As you know
it is winter now and this also aggravates the situation since I am not able to
use the car. Hopefully, your homeowner's insurance will cover this kind of
damage. Please check with them to see if it is covered. If they do not pay for
it, I will get two repair estimates for you so that you can determine how you
will pay for the repair.
Perhaps we could meet this Saturday afternoon to discuss our options. In
case you are not available at that time please let me know so that we would
be able to make an appointment for some other time.
Thank you in advance for your kind and considerate attention towards the
matter.
Yours sincerely,
Ms. Green

2- You recently received your grade from your instructor and you are
dissatisfied with your score.
Write a letter to your instructor and
• introduce yourself.
• let him know that you are dissatisfied with your grade.
• mention the reasons to convince him that you deserve a better grade.

Dear Mr. Sockman,
This letter is to express my dissatisfaction with the grade that I received for my
class project. I know you made it clear that individuals in each group would all
receive the same grade; but I would like to ask you to reconsider your
decision about my grade.
I put a lot of effort into this project. I spent numerous hours in the library and at
the computer working on my research. My project partner, Jack, apparently
did not approach the project with the same dedication as I. Enclosed, you will
find copies of my notes and sources that I used in my research.
You encouraged us to speak with you if we encountered any problems within
our groups, and I made two appointments with you to discuss the situation.
Unfortunately, you were unable to attend either one. Considering that I did
attempt to contact you, and that I put a lot of effort into this project, I hope that
you will be generous enough to raise my project grade.
I would like to thank you for your considerate attention in advance.
Yours sincerely,
S. Dent
