CAE practice: Writing an email Hi everyone! I am currently practicing for the CAE exam (Certificate in Advanced English), and I'd love if any of you could correct this email I wrote for practicing the writing part! So, this was the question to be answered: -You have seen the following blog in an online magazine for young people: "I live in asmall village and long to move into the city. I am 18 years old and have just left school. What are the good things about city life? What about the disadvantages? Would I be mad to leave my village, or would I be opening up great new opportunities? And here is my answer!! Dear Paul, I am writing this email to you regarding your concerns about moving to a big city from your home-village. Therefore, I would like to give you some ideas related to how living in a big city usually is. Firstly, I would like to emphasize how many perks living in a city has. These environments are thrilling and intercultural places, so every day can easily become a new adventure to be faced: meeting all kinds of people is easy, you get the chance to constantly try a wide variety of new hobbies... The options are great, so enjoying your life as you want will no more be limited by your surroundings! However, I would also like to emphasize how some daily life issues could become greater when living in highly populated places. I’m not going to lie you, life in big places can also get tough. For instance, education could be way more demanding here than in villages. Accordingly, other some social issues, such as unemployment or anxiety, are more common in metropolis. As a recently high school graduated all these could mean a great deal to be considered before making a final decision. Bearing in mind all of this, I believe the advantages of moving to a bigger place are more important than the challenges you may face. If you are up to leave the place you have always lived in and experience new surroundings I really encourage you to continue with your idea. You will not regret it. I wish you the greatest luck when finally moving out! Regards, Marta --- Thanks for your time!
