We are delighted you have chosen to come to our college to study English in August.
Accommodation is usually with English Speaking families. I hope you are happy with this arrangement.
The second Monday of your visit is a public holiday. Some of our teachers will be available to give classes, although you might like to have the day free to do as you wish. Could you tell me which option you would prefer?
All the students take a level test when they arrive, but it would help me to know in advance what the general level of your students is.
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to ask.
Yours sincerely
Ian Webster

2. Has the writer included all the points from the task?
Dear Mr Webster,
Thank you for your recent letter. First of all, I would like to say we are very pleased to be staying with the families, because this will give us more chance to learn about the food and customs of your country and practise our English. In answer to your question about our level, we are all taking the First Certificate examination in June and are confident of passing.
With regard to the public holiday, we all agree that we would prefer to have more free time. As the holiday comes immediately after a weekend, we will probably take the opportunity to organise a trip to another part of the country. Finally, we would be interested to know whether you offer a programme of evening activities, since we are keen to socialise with other students after lessons.
I look forward to hearing from you.
