and would appreciate a marking guide/any feedback. Thanks!

Re: Eileen Dover university application
Dear Eileen,
Thank you for your recent application to join us at the University of Awesome's
science faculty to study as part of your PhD
next year. I will answer your questions one by one, in the following sections.
Starting dates
We are happy to accomodate you starting your study with us at any time, however
it would suit us better if you could start at the beginning of a semester; the start
dates for each one are as follows:
At the Awesome Science Faculty, we have a pretty open-minded research facility —
as long as the subjects fall somewhere in the realm of science and technology.
You seem like an intelligent, dedicated researcher, and just the kind of person we'd
like to have on our team. Saying that, of the ideas you submitted we were most
intrigued by are as follows, in order of priority:
Turning H2O into wine, and the health benefits of Resveratrol
(C14H12O3.)
Measuring the effect on performance of funk bassplayers at tempratures exceeding
30oC (86oF), when the audience size exponentially increases
(effect of 3 × 103 > 3 × 104.)
HTML and
CSS constructs for representing musical scores.
So please can you provide more information on each of these subjects, including how
long you'd expect the research to take, required staff and other resources, and anything
else you think we'd need to know? Thanks.
Exotic dance moves
Yes, you are right! As part of my post-doctorate work, I did study exotic tribal dances.
To answer your question, my favourite dances are as follows, with definitions:
Polynesian chicken dance
A little known but very influential dance dating back as far as
300BC, a whole village would dance around in
a circle like chickens, to encourage their livestock or be "fruitful".
Icelandic brownian shuffle
Before the Icelanders developed fire as a means of getting warm, they used
to practice this dance, which involved huddling close together in a circle on
the floor, and shuffling their bodies around in imperceptably tiny, very rapid movements.
One of my fellow students used to say that he thought this dance inspired
modern styles such as Twerking.
Arctic robot dance
An interesting example of historic misinformation, English explorers in the 1960s
believed to have discovered a new dance style characterised by "robotic",
stilted movements, being practiced by inhabitants of Northern Alaska and Canada.
Later on however it was discovered that they were just moving like this because
they were really cold.
