2. “Write a polite complaint to a company about a late delivery.”
3. “Write to my landlord asking for a repair, firm but friendly.”
Money and jobs around the house
4. “What should I ask three tradespeople so I can compare their quotes?”
5. “Plan a week of dinners for four on a tight budget.”

Everyday life

10. “Write a short message to a friend I have not spoken to in a while.”
How to get a better answer
Say who it is for, what you want to happen, and how long it should be. If the answer is not right, do not start again. Just say what to change: “shorter”, “friendlier”, “simpler”.
