Applying for a job A. Letter writing is an important part of world business. Studies show that people who write well are more likely to have successful careers. Skill in writing business and personal letters can make a difference in life. For example, a well-written letter applying for a job may lead to a fine position. A good personal letter can build or keep a valuable friendship. B. For many courses in the University, the majority of your marks will be based on your written work. It is essential that you develop your skills as a writer for the different disciplines in which you study. Most departments offer advice and guidelines on how to present your written assignments. But you should be aware that the requirements may vary from one department to another. C. The earliest stage of writing is called pre-writing and depends on direct representation of objects, rather than representing them with letters or other symbols. Evidence for this stage, in the form of rock and cave paintings, dates back to about 15,000 years ago, although the exact dates are debatable. This kind of proto-literate cave painting has been found in Europe, with the best known examples in South-Western France, but also in Africa and on parts of the American continent. D. During his holidays a schoolboy decided to write a letter to his friend. He sat down at his writing table and wrote: “Dear Dick!” He thought a little and wrote: “I am writing to you because I have nothing to do.” After that he thought for a long time and at last wrote: “I’m afraid I must stop writing because I have nothing to say. Yours, Tom Brown.” F. Use the first paragraph to state your reason for writing. If you are replying to an advertisement you should mention where you saw it. In the second paragraph draw attention to what makes you a particularly suitable person for the post. Use present tenses to highlight your present situation and skills. Use the present perfect to describe relevant recent experience. Use the past tense to describe relevant achievements in the past. Don’t use informal expressions. G. It is important to remember that a letter is a form of communication. Formal letters are always written with a particular purpose in mind. The purpose sometimes stressed at the beginning of the letter. However, you do need to open your letter with something that will be appropriate for the reader and will capture the reader’s attention. Once you have your purpose in mind, you have to give the reader some background information and then you should continue with your message. The tone and level of formality that you use will affect how successful you are at communicating your message. Запишите выбранные цифры в соответствующем порядке.

FCE / WRITING / PART 1• Purpose of an essay An essay is a piece of writing in which you are asked to discuss a topic that might be controversial or relevant somehow. It usually follows a class discussion. The language of an essay should be formal. Also, make sure that you justify all your ideas and that you use appropriate connectors to link your sentences and paragraphs. When writing an essay, you can choose whether to give it a title or not. This could be the same question provided in the task. As for the structure, it should have an introductory paragraph, and a conclusion at the end. The body should consist of 2 or 3 main paragraphs, depending on how you decide to structure your ideas. • Giving your opinion Typically, in an essay we tend to express our opinion at the end, although it is acceptable to do so at the beginning, too. Some common topics to write essays about are the environment, health and tness, work and employment, friendships and family, money, celebrities, etc. Sample Task 1In your English class you have been talking about different ways in which you can protect the environment. Now, your English teacher has asked you to write an essay. Write an essay using all the notes and give reasons for your point of view. What can people do to help protect the environment? 2. Using bicycles and walking Sample Answer 1Protecting the Environment One of the things that worries people most nowadays is the environment. In the last few decades, humans have been polluting way too much, which has had a negative effect on the environment. For this reason, we must protect it from now on. First, we ought to start paying attention to the 3 Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. By doing so, we will reduce the quantity of rubbish, we will not throw away so many things and we will be able to recycle most of our waste. Second, a very good idea is to stop using cars so much and start cycling or walking a little more. For example, instead of commuting by car, we can try to do it on foot or by bike. Finally, if we really want to change things, we should teach young pupils about the dangers of contamination and pollution. It’s the only way to change the future, because they are the future citizens of the world. In conclusion, I believe that if we do these three things, we can still prevent humans from destroying the environment. Sample Task 2In your English class you have been talking about work in your country. Now, your English teacher has asked you to write an essay. Write an essay using all the notes and give reasons for your point of view. Which is more important: to earn a high salary or to enjoy doing your job? 2. Time you spend working Sample Answer 2Enjoying Your Work or Earning a High Salary? Nowadays, people find it difficult to get a suitable job. Some people think the salary is too low, while others may have a good salary but do not like what they do. However, there are other things to consider, too. Firstly, we need to think about how long we work for. If we work long hours, the salary should be good. However, maybe the most important thing if we work a lot is to enjoy our job. Otherwise, we will get tired quickly. On the other hand, the type of work is also important. For instance, if we do a job we like but it is dangerous, the salary should be good. If we are not paid generously, maybe it’s not worth risking our lives. Finally, we should also take into account holiday periods. If our job has few holiday periods during the year, maybe we can accept a higher salary in exchange. On the whole, I am of the opinion that in order to be happy, the salary is less important than enjoying the job. However, it is difficult to be happy working for peanuts. Sample Task 3In your English class you have been talking about friendships. Now, your English teacher has asked you to write an essay. Write an essay using all the notes and give reasons for your point of view. What should we do to make and keep friends? 2. Keeping in touch Sample Answer 3Making and Keeping Friends After family members, friends are the most important people in our lives. So we can all agree that making and keeping friends is essential. But what can we do to make friends and not lose them? First of all, whenever we make a new friend, we must be honest and always tell the truth. It is not advisable to lie to your new friends because if they nd out, you will lose them. Another important aspect is keeping in touch. Calling and meeting your friends regularly is the only way of keeping the friendship alive. However, this can be dif cult if they live far, so texting is another acceptable alternative. Finally, helping your friends when they need you is also an essential part of any friendship. As a result, your friend will value you and your friendship will become stronger. To sum up, I should say that honesty and keeping in touch are very good ways of supporting your friends. However, the best thing you can do is to love them and help them whenever they need you.

• Purpose of an article The goal of an article is usually to talk about a topic you like or in which you are an expert. Also, your article should aim to keep the reader engaged and, in some cases, recommend whatever it is you are talking about. Articles are usually expected to be less formal than essays. Because they are intended to entertain, you can use more relaxed language, using contractions, phrasal verbs and more informal words. Also, it is common to use rhetorical questions and exclamation marks to keep the reader engaged or to make a point. You should address the reader directly and you can use humour where you think it’s appropriate. Articles usually have a title. If possible, this title should be catchy so it grabs the reader’s attention. Then, you should have a paragraph for each aspect you are writing about. In your conclusion, you might be expected make a recommendation. It is a good idea to nish your article with a rhetorical question. • Giving your opinion An article is all about your opinion, so feel free to give it wherever you feel it’s necessary. Usually, you are asked to write articles about topics you like or are familiar with, so it makes more sense for your opinions to be generally positive. An article is a very personal piece of writing, so you can use rst-person sentences freely. You may be asked to write articles on a variety of topics: the Internet, health and tness, music, plays, hobbies, etc. Sample Task 1A local magazine has asked readers to write an article about their favourite things about the Internet. Write the article talking about the things you do with the Internet and recommend a website to other readers. Sample Answer 1The Internet: A Great Invention The Internet has changed the way we live. It started as something that we could access only through a computer, but nowadays it is everywhere, and I love it! One of the cool things about the world wide web is that you can look up anything you want and nd out the answer straight away. Isn’t that fantastic? For example, imagine you are arguing with your friends about how to do something. Easy solution! Go online and nd the answer. However, the greatest thing about the Internet is how you can learn tons of things very cheaply or even for free! In fact, my favourite website is www.udemy.com, where people register to teach and learn about different things: music, website design, making apps, history, etc. So I totally recommend it to everyone! In conclusion, the Internet has a lot of great things. For me, the best are nding information and learning online. What about you? What are your favourite things about it? Источники информации: |
