why\ou ar~ I am very interested in rhis position, and I would like to writing. apply to work for your company.

Make sure you include ali the necessary information given in the exam question.

In your conclusion summarise the main points of your letter and finish by saying that you look forward to hearing from the other person.

I am 19 years old and have just finished my first year at universiry, studying Economics. I would be available to work from rhe beginning of June until the end of August, and I don't have a problem working evenings and weekends. I lived in London for a year when I was younger, and I am fluent in English. I am an outgoing

person with a good sense of humour, and I am

confident I would get on wirh visitors to this region.

I have travelled extensively in this part of the country,

rnostly with rny parenrs when I was younger, and I aro familiar with a number of places that would be of interest to visitors. For example, the Folk Museum in rhe centre of town has fascinating exhibitions, the cathedral is popular with sightseers, and the old town has sorne very interesting souvenir shops and traditional restaurants.

In conclusion, I would welcome the opportuniry of

meeting you in person to discuss this. I look forward to

your reply.

Exchange programme

In your email you asked me about accommodation. There is a student residence not far from our apartment; I can find out if you could get a room there, and how much it will cost.

The exam question requires you to give information about your area and advice about the exchange programme.

The bus service here is very efficient and reliable. The college is within walking distance frorn the town centre, and it would take you about twenty minutes to walk there,

I think the exchange programme is a wonderful

opportunity for you to spend time away from New York. Life here is very relaxing, the pace of life is slow,

and the people are friendly. If I were you, I wouldn'r

thínk i:wice!

I'm really looking forward to seeing you_ here and showing you around my .favouríte places. Do write and tell me what you decide.

Look after yourself, Mike

Divide your email into short paragraphs. Make sure each paragraph is on a different topic.

Fiñish your email in an informal way. Send greetings and ask the reader to write back.

., ~ Model answer

State the genera~. tapie in the first paragraph.

Present the disadvantages of the statement or situation in a separate paragraph.

Sum up the main points and say whether there are more advantages than disadvantages. Show clearly whether you agree, disagree or partly agree with the statement.

"The use of credir cards is now widespread. Most people use at least one credit card or buy goods on credit.

The first point I would like to make is that credit cards are a convenient, practica! too!. There are many obvious advantages in using credit cards instead of carrying cash. You don't have to worry about carrying enough cash when you are out shopping. You can buy things on the Internet or book cinema tickets on the phone. You can even use it to make purchases if you are temporarily out of cash.

On rhe other hand, people using credit cards can easily lose track of how much·they have spent. Moreover, they are tempted to buy more than they can afford and exceed rheir budget. The problem is that credit cards are often used unwisely.

In conclusion, I think there are more advantages than disadvantages in using credit cards. I don'r believe people should be discouraged from using them. People should be made aware of the risks involved in this method of payment.

Present the advantages of the statement or si_tuation in one paragraph.

Use linking words or expressions to list the main points (advantages or disadvántages) in your paragraph.
