Band 9: You are a student at a language school in New Zealand studying Business English. Part of the course is a summer work placement programme. Unfortunately, you have just learnt from the school that this programme has now been cancelled. Write a letter to the School Principal. In your letter * state your reason for writing * describe the problem and your concerns * explain what you would like the Principal to do. Write at least 150 words.

Dear Principal,

I am writing to express my concern about the recent cancellation of the summer work placement program that was part of the Business English course. I recently received the unfortunate news from the school, and I am deeply disappointed by this development.

The work placement was one of the main reasons I chose this course, as it offered a unique opportunity to gain practical experience in a real business environment. Without this hands-on experience, I am concerned that my learning will be incomplete, and I will miss out on the chance to apply the skills and knowledge I have acquired in the classroom.

I understand that unforeseen circumstances may have led to this decision, but I would like to request that the school consider alternative arrangements. For example, could the school collaborate with local businesses to offer virtual internships or shorter-term placements later in the year? Another option might be to organize additional workshops or practical sessions to help bridge the gap left by the cancellation.

I hope you will consider my concerns and explore possible solutions . I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

your faithfully,

Rahul Patel
