A LETTER

Dear Rudik,

Thanks for your letter. Cambridge sounds great! I’m really glad you’ve having a good time. We all miss you here.

Yeah, buying a computer sounds a very good idea. It’s a much better idea getting a laptop, as it’s so easy to carry around.

Also, if you’re going to be using it for essays, you’ll definitely need a word processor and printer. You’d have to pay extra for them.

Anyway, that’s what think. Let me know which one you decide to get. Happy shopping! So, take care, work hard (but not to hard) and see you soon.

Bye!

Emma

A LETTTER

Dear Ms Turner,

I am writing in response to your advertisement for tour guides, which I read in the ‘Reporter’ on 11th June. I would like to apply for one of the advertised positions.

I am very interested ib modern art and would welcome the opportunity to inform visitors to the gallery. I have previously worked in a local museum, as you can see from my attached CV.

I also believe I have the personal qualities and qualifications necessary for this position. I speak French as my first language and recently passed the Cambridge First Certificate in English examination with ‘A’ grade.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am available for interview at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Paul Bishop
