Band 7+: WRITING TASK 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. You recently booked a part-time course at a college. You now need to cancel your booking. Write a letter to the college administrator. In your letter . say which part-time course you booked . explain why you need to cancel your booking · ask about booking a different course Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear Sir,

Hope you are doing great. I am writing this letter with regard to the part-time course titled as “An introduction to data science” that I had booked at your website two months ago. At that time, I was very keen to learn about this topic because of my research field, which required knowing fundamentals of data mining, formal analysis, and handling missing data. I was further intrigued by the practice-based method of the course.

Unfortunately, my research field have changed in the the present month, due to the fact that my supervisor has retired from the research center. Thus, I am no longer in need for learning data analysis. Consequently, I must ask you to cancel my booking for that part-time program.

I am now focused on a new project about the human genome. This research necessitates familiarity with some laboratory techniques such as Western blotting. Your institute also offers a comprehensive program about these laboratory methods. Therefore, I would like to change my booking and participate in the course titled as “Basics of the human genome”. I would be very grateful if you could arrange that for me and would like to thank you in advance.

Best regards,
