Dear professor Rushton,
My name is Victoria Yurets and l am a second year student.
I was wondering if it was possible to obtain more information about our forthcoming writing exam, especially its essay part. I would deeply appreciate if you could send us some mock tests or give further guidelines as to the structure of the exam and the assessment criteria.
Although I have, of course, been preparing for some time, if I could obtain more information about the exam, I would be able to arrange my preparation in a more appropriate way.
Yours sincerely,
Victoria Yurets.
