SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear ………….. ,

I am a student at Sheffield University and I recently saw an advertisement for your course on improving memory. I am a mature student as I began working when I finished high school, then married and looked after my three children.

Having returned to studying after a break of ten years, I am finding it quite difficult to remember important facts from my course. I find I have to concentrate very hard to memorise even small amounts of information. I have tried using acronyms to remind me of important facts, but I still find it rather difficult. I have heard about visualisation and association techniques, but I am not sure how to use these effectively and I would be very interested in learning other strategies.

I would be grateful if you could give me more detailed information about the methods that you use on the course, as well as the cost and dates of your course. As I am a full-time mother and a part-time student I do not have a great deal of free time, so I hope you can offer flexible hours.

I think I could benefit a great deal from your course and look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Jane Smith
