IELTS Letter - Job Advice

by Gustavo
(rio de janeiro, Brazil)

You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or to try to get a job. You think he/she should get a job.

Write a letter to this friend. In your letter.

- say why he/she would not enjoy going to college
- explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her
- suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Dear Brian,

Hope everything is going well. To begin with, I'll let you know why to get a job and avoid a bad career choice, by going to college, is the right option.

Clearly you will not be happy in a graduation course. First, you are a creative person with interesting ideas that could make you financially succeed. A college would only hold you back, making you lose a considerable time of your life in something that for sure would not full fill your needs.

Instead, I recommend you start to work as soon as possible. A job benefits you with the real world experience, allowing you to assess the variety type of business and to increase your wealth sooner.

To summarize, I strongly suggest you to look for opportunities to work in advertising, insurance or promoting companies. They are highly suitable for your skills, since you are very talk-active and a spontaneous guy.

I wish you all the best.

Yours,
Gustavo

However, since my spouse is on the family way and lives in the city where your hotel requires waiters, albeit for evening works, I am calling it a day from the UVW chain of hotels.

Sir, by the virtue of this letter, I’d like to apply for the required post in your hotel. As regards my experience and referrals from UVW chain of hotels, I would be rather more than glad to provide you the documents.

Furthermore, I sincerely look forward to a long term relationship nurturing amongst us.

Au Pair Job

by Modi

You have seen an advertisement in an Australian magazine for someone to live with a family for six months and look after their six-year-old child.

Write a letter to the parents. In your letter

- explain why you would like the job
- give details of why you would be a suitable person to employ
- say how you would spend your free time while you are in Australia

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you regarding the advertisement mentioned by you in a magazine. I would love the job of looking after your six-year-old child. As we know, children are the most innocent among us and we get to learn a lot in the process of teaching them about life.

I would be a suitable person to employ as I had looked after my younger siblings before. I know how hard it can be for working parents to keep the checks on all the needs of a child. Moreover, I am working on my final semester project which can be done remotely, so six months of stay will not an obstruction in our way.

I will also be able to spend my free time in Australia. Because your house is in Sydney, It will be easy for me to visit various museums and art galleries nearby in the city. Also, I might try my chance to see the Australian Cricket team play live on their grounds.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Narender Modi
