### Пояснение к выполнению
1. **Exercise 3 & 4 (Анализ задания и структуры официального письма):**
* Поскольку автор письма — директор школы, а адресат — потенциальный студент, письмо пишется в **официальном стиле (formal style)**.
* При обращении по фамилии (*Dear Ms Antonov*) в официальном британском английском в конце письма используется подпись *Yours sincerely*.
* Деление на абзацы логично отражает структуру делового ответа: вступление $\rightarrow$ предоставление запрошенной информации $\rightarrow$ встречные вопросы $\rightarrow$ заключительные вежливые фразы.
2. **Exercise 5 & 6 (Официальный и разговорный стили):**
* В официальной переписке избегают сленга, сокращений и разговорных фраз, заменяя их устойчивыми клише делового этикета:
* Вместо разговорного *horrible* используется экспрессивное формальное прилагательное *appalling* (ужасный, отталкивающий).
* Конструкция *I would be grateful if you could...* выражает вежливую официальную просьбу.
* Оборот *with regard to...* переводится как «относительно / касательно чего-либо» и служит стандартной связкой при переходе к теме.
