Trang 11Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to apply for one of the scholarships I saw advertised in your
prospectus.
At present, I am training to be a secondary school teacher of English and I
finish my course at the end of June However, I feel I still have a lot to learn
about the language and culture of the English-speaking world and would benefit
considerably from a course in an English-speaking country.
The reason I am applying for a scholarship is that I cannot afford the cost of
studying abroad I have no income except for my student grant, so if I am
fortunate enough to be given a scholarship, I would have to work part-time to
save some personal spending money.
I would appreciate being given the opportunity to study at your college and
would be grateful if you could consider my application.

Trang 29Dear Sir or Madam,
I am looking for outdoor work during the summer holidays and I would like to
apply for the position of lifeguard assistant, which I saw advertised in my
university's student newspaper.
I am 20 years old and at present I am studying Physical Education I am a
strong swimmer and have recently had first aid training I very much enjoy
working with people and for the last two summers I have been working as an
assistant ranger in a National Park, where I had to provide information to the
public about using the park and provide emergency assistance to park users.
Now I am looking for something different.
I think I would be a suitable candidate for the position because I have been
described as calm in a crisis and someone who works well with others.
I am available for the whole of August and would be happy to attend an
interview at any time I look forward to hearing from you at any time in the
near future.
Yours faithfully,
Greeting

Trang 31• Your English-speaking friend, Liz, is planning a surprise birthday party Read
part of her email below:
"
We must make sure that Leonor has no idea we're planning such a great surprise! Do you think we should book the Majestic Hotel for the evening and have the party there? Leonor loves music so we could have a live band.
I've spent ages thinking about what I could buy her as a present I really want
to give her something special because thanks to her I've lived an incredible year! You know her quite well, any ideas?
Could you come the day before the party to help with the preparations? There's
a lot to think about, so I'd really like to have your help!
"
