Workbook Unit 9, Writing B
There are some people who are materialistic and want the good things in life. For them, having money is very important, and they think it makes them happy. There are other people who believe that the simple things in life matter more than money. For them, it is more important to have friends and family, and to be in good health.
I do not think it is really possible to say who is right and who is wrong, and I think it also depends on what people mean when they say ‘happy’. Of course, if people are so poor that they have no home and nothing to eat, it is impossible to be happy, but there are plenty of people who do not have much money and really enjoy life.
There are also a lot of very rich people who are not happy at all. You always hear about rich movie stars who are not happy because money does not bring them everything they want. I think some rich people are happy because they have more than other people. They see money as proof that they are successful. Perhaps if everyone else was also rich, they would not be so happy.
Personally, I do not think that having more money than other people will make me happy. I want to be successful and I want to have nice things, but having a job I like and being healthy are the most important things. I have an uncle who is very rich, but does not have a wife and does not have any children. He does not seem happy to me.

Workbook Unit 10, Writing C Dear Mr Hardwick,
I am writing about some problems I have been having with students who are renting one of your houses. They are at 47, Colwell Gardens, which is the house next door to mine. I am at 45.
Your tenants are very inconsiderate, and seem to have no respect for neighbours living around them. Firstly, they have their TV on so loud all day and until late at night. What’s more, there is frequently a lot of shouting and arguing. If they go out for the evening, they come home in the middle of the night and make a lot of noise.
I tried to speak to them about their behaviour, but they were very rude. When I complained about the noise, they seemed to find it funny, and nothing has changed. I am really very angry about the situation now.
Please could you speak to your tenants about their behaviour, and warn them that other people in the street have had enough. If nothing changes, I will report the problem to the local council and I do not want to have to do that.
Yours sincerely, Greg Warren
