TEST 1, Part 1
Candidate A
Dear Mr. Danni,
I’m writing to thank you for inviting me to give a talk
about one of my leisure activities at your club. Later
in the letter, I’ll also be informing you with all the
information you’d be needing.
As you mentioned, there has been a promising
success on people’s talk about their interesting
activities. I particularly enjoyed Ms. Windham’s talk
on baking. It’s just amazing how she manages to
invent new kinds of delicious cakes every time.
As for me, I have thought about giving a talk
concerning gardening. I will be pointing out all the
effort and tragedy it takes, along with the
advantages of having a garden. 
So as to display how plantlets should be taken care
of, I would be needing a video player.
If on any circumstances that I couldn’t give the talk
in May, I would love to give it in July. Also, Pete
Lawson, who has a great interest in scuba diving, will
give a wonderful talk in substitution in May.
I look forward to giving the talk and thank you once
again.
