Letter 1
You have eaten at a restaurant and it was such a terrible experience that you have decided to
inform the manager by letter of what happened, and that you want your money back. Things
to include:
– Facts. You need to be concise but explain what happened.
– Polite. No one responds to insults.
– Outline what you wish from this. What do you want to happen?
– Firmness. You want to be taken seriously.
To the manager,

I would like to express my regret at having dined at your establishment last night; please
allow me to explain.

The table was booked two months in advance since it was to cater a major professional
event, and yet we were informed by the maitre d’ upon arrival that there were no tables
sufficiently large and we would have to dine separately. I did press this point with your staff
as it was imperative that my party remain in each other’s company, but we were told that it
was simply impossible to seat us all together.

In addition to this, several menu items were unavailable on the night, including every
vegetarian option, meaning that three members of my party were left to eat only bread
throughout the meal. As a result of these incidents, I had intended not to pay, but your staff
informed us that they would call the police if we refused, and so to avoid further
embarrassment, I complied.

This experience was entirely unacceptable, and I would like to request a full refund of the
amount paid. I would also suggest that your staff not promise customers degrees of service
that they are unable to provide in order to avoid disappointing experiences such as these.

Regards,
Joe Stein

Letter 2
You ordered an item from an online store and it has arrived damaged.
Write a letter to the retailer to complain. In the letter:
– Explain why you are unhappy
– Request a refund
– Make arrangements to return the damaged item

Dear Sir or Madam,

I recently ordered a Kitchenmax blender from your online shop, and was disappointed to
discover that the glass portions of the appliance had been smashed during transit.

I would have expected the package to be wrapped more effectively in order to avoid incidents
such as this, but there was almost no padding material in the box. I would like you to arrange
for the return of the item and to process a full refund as soon as is convenient, since the
blender was intended to be a gift for an occasion that has already passed.

The order number was KX3564686, and it was delivered on 24/09/2017.
If you need to book a time for a courier to collect the parcel, you can contact me at this email
address, but it must be within the next two weeks as I will be moving to Washington.

Kind regards,
Ann Simon

Letter 3
Your internet connection has been slow and intermittent.
Write a letter to your internet service provider to complain. In the letter:
– Describe the problem and why you are unhappy
– Arrange for an engineer to visit your home
– Request a reduction in your bill

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been a satisfied customer of yours for over a year, but recently my connection has
become intermittent. Even when it is working, it is so slow that it is unusable.

I have actually informed your customer service department of this via phone on two separate
occasions, and the problem has now been ongoing for around ten weeks. I would like to
request that an engineer be sent to my property since all attempts to resolve the issue
remotely have failed. If you could contact me at this email address to arrange a suitable time,
that would be great.

Furthermore, since I have not received the advertised service for two-and-a-half months, I do
not believe I should be charged for this period. The amount equates to £98.49; I will accept
either a payment or a reduction in the total of future bills.

I hope we can resolve this situation promptly.

Regards,
Ken Schown

Letter 1
A job application Cover letter
You are applying for a job. As well as attaching a CV, you need to write a cover letter
explaining your reasons for choosing this particular job at this particular company, and why
you would be a good hire. Things to include are:
1. Possible qualifications or reasons for you to be hired
2. Your energy and enthusiasm for the job
3. Your past experience in a similar position.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to express my interest in the position of Lead Software Engineer that was
advertised in The Times newspaper on 24/09/2017.
My education consists of a Bachelor’s Degree with first class honours in Computer Science
from the University of Manchester, as well as a Master’s Degree in Applied Software
Engineering from the University of Barcelona, where I assisted in the development of an
artificial intelligence that has the ability to recognise individual personality traits in humans
Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
with great accuracy.

Further to this, I have since worked for Intel Corporation as a Senior Engineer for over eight
years. My main responsibilities centred around the management of a team of fifteen
developers whose job it was to provide machine code solutions to processing problems. I
believe it is this well-developed problem solving ability which makes me a suitable candidate
for a leadership position at your esteemed company.

Finally, I have been compelled to participate in the technology sector since I was a teenager,
and so my enthusiasm for the industry is considerable.

Please find my CV attached for your perusal, and I look forward to discussing this opportunity
further at interview.

Yours faithfully,
Peter Smith

Letter 2
You would like to join the local orchestra.
Write a letter of application to the orchestra. In the letter:
– Introduce yourself and your instrument of choice
– Explain how your credentials make you a good candidate
– Express your enthusiasm for music

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in response to the advert placed in The Times regarding the various available
positions in the Urmston Festival Orchestra. My name is Peter Bedfellows, I am a pianist, and
I’ve been a resident of Urmston for over four years.

I was most recently involved with the Barcelona symphony orchestra, with which I performed
on a regular basis for over nine years. Although I lack formal training, I have been practising
piano for almost two decades, and have recently mastered such pieces as Prokofiev’s third
sonata. I would be happy to perform for a judge or panel whenever is convenient for you.

My wife and I left Barcelona to be closer to her family, who sadly refuse to leave Urmston,
but I must continue with my music career; it has been my only passion since I was seven
years old.

I welcome the opportunity to discuss this further in person.

Yours faithfully,
Jonathan King

Letter 3
Your children go to a local school that requires volunteers to accompany school science trips.
Write a letter to the school to apply to be a volunteer. In the letter:
– Introduce yourself and give details of your children who attend the school
– Explain why you are interested in the position
– Talk about any relevant experience that you have with children
Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
Dear Sir or Madam,

My daughter attends your school, and has recently informed me that you are looking for long-
term volunteers to attend school trips. I am the mother of Saffron Monsoon; she is in fourth
year, in Mrs Bonham-Carter’s class.

I thought that since I have such a long relationship with the school I would put myself
forward. I think I might be better prepared than most as I was a primary school teacher for
over four years before having my daughter and leaving my career.

I work from home the vast majority of the time and so I am looking for opportunities to
participate in community events to make sure that I interact with other people, and I couldn’t
help but think that I’d be a perfect fit for your science trips.

Do give me a call if there are any places still available.

Yours truly,
Karen Thompson

Your friends recently moved to a new city. You will also be moving to the same city. Write a
letter to your friends and include:
– Ask where to find a place to live
– Tell them what type of place you’re looking for
– Share some fun things you would like to do when you get there
Hi friends!
As you all know by now, I’ll soon be moving to Los Angeles with the rest of you. The problem
is, I’m not sure yet where I should live or what to do after I get there. I would like to find a
place that is relatively inexpensive, but also in a safe area.
It would be great if it is justa one bedroom that is also close to a laundry facility. I don’t
mind if it is a bit far from the university, but I would prefer it to be within walking distance to
good restaurants and the beach, if possible. Can anyone help?
Have any of you learned how to surf yet? I’ve been watching tutorial videos and I think it
would be really fun to try and learn.
Please let me know if any of you can help me with my request, thank you.
Sincerely,
Cathy

You will be graduating from university and would like to invite your family to the ceremony.
Write a letter of invitation to your parents. In the letter:
– Explain that you have completed your studies
– Give details of the event, including time, date and dress code
– Let them know how many tickets they have and who they are for
Dear Mum and Dad,
I received the results from the last exams today, I passed my final year and I’ll be graduating
in a couple of months. They only gave us a maximum of five tickets per family, so I thought
I’d write to you first to let you know the details and who to invite.
Obviously, I want you two there, and bring my sister, too. I thought we could give the other
two seats to Grandma and Grandad (the one’s on Mum’s side; sorry, Dad). I did try to get
extra tickets but there is a limited number of seats that can fit in the room.
The ceremony will be held in the main hall of Manchester university on the 7th January 2020.
The thing starts at 6pm but you have to be there for 2.30pm for photos and queueing. Also,
everyone has to be dressed formal; it’s a black tie event.
Let me know if anyone can’t make it.

Write a letter to the newspaper editor about an experience you had at a restaurant.
The experience can be good or bad. Describe your experience in detail and state whether or
not you recommend others to visit the restaurant.

Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
To the Editor,

I recently had a dining experience at a local restaurant called “The Twisted Fiddle,” that I
must write in to tell you about. This was the worst dining experience I have ever had.

Upon entering, it took 10 minutes before a host noticed me and took me to a table. After
seating, I had to wait another 10 minutes for my drink order to be taking. The waitress was
very rude. I looked through the menu and decided on something I didn’t think would be bad.

Unfortunately, after waiting another 20 minutes for my food, it turned out to be poorly
cooked and seasoned. I asked to see the manager and the waitress once more gave me an
attitude. I spoke with the manager but was not pleased with the conversation.

Please print this letter so that others can avoid such a poor dining experience.

Thank you,
Unhappy Customer

Letter 2
A friend is considering buying a house nearby, but you have decided to leave the area due to
a rise in crime.
Write a letter to your friend advising them not to move into the neighbourhood. In your
letter:
– Recommend that your friend not go ahead with the purchase
– Give the reasons behind your decision to leave
– Suggest possible alternative areas that you know

Dear Susan,

Gerald told me recently that you have put in an offer on a house on Paxman Muse, just
around the corner from me, and I thought I’d let you know a couple of things.

We’ve been experiencing problems associated with a noticeable rise in crime in the area,
particularly car theft and burglary. This has been happening to us and our neighbours for
over a year now, and my wife and I have been desperate to leave the area. We have chosen
to rent a house somewhere nicer, and I thought I’d advise you to do the same.

The current property prices do not reflect the changes that have occurred in the area over the
last twelve months, and I fear that you would be making a bad investment. We were
considering a place in nearby Dimbleby; it’s quite small, but that means that high crime is
unlikely.

Wherever you decide to live, I just wanted you to know that I would advise against moving
here, as I think you deserve something better.

Your friend,
Beth

You have received a letter from your university of Albion demanding a reason for your
absence from an exam. You were ill that day, but failed to submit the evidence. Write a letter
to the Examinations Committee explaining your situation. You should include:
– Apologies for the situation
– Identification for yourself (Name, Student Number, Case Number)

To the University of Albion examinations committee,

I am writing in response to your letter regarding my unauthorised absence from the
mathematics examination held on the 24th September, case number M2342.

My name is Deborah Meaden (student number A345), and I would first like to sincerely
apologise for failing to properly notify the university of my inability to attend the examination
last Tuesday.

Unfortunately, I awoke in hospital on the morning of the examination, and was informed that
I had been found unconscious, lying on the pavement by the bus stop. A member of the
public had called an ambulance and I was admitted to the local general hospital, where I
regained consciousness several hours later. As I was required to remain in hospital for
several days, I was unable to make contact with the university, but I have included my
medical certificates as evidence for my claim.

To rectify this issue, I would like to request that the committee permit me to take the
examination on another date, or to substitute the grade for an average taken from my
previous work, lest I fail the entire module.

My apologies once again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
Kate Wilson

Letter 2
You recently applied for 2 separate jobs.
Both have chosen to hire you, but you must write a letter to 1 of them explaining why you
are unable to take the position. Include in your letter:
– An apology
– An explanation of your situation

Dear Mrs. Thompson,

I recently received a job offer for the position of administrative assistant. However, I have
also received a job offer for another position that is much closer to my home. While your offer
would be a great fit for me, the commute when compared to my other offer is less than ideal.

After considering my options, I must inform you that I will not be able to accept the position.
I hope that this doesn’t inconvenience you and I apologize if I have wasted any of your time.
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work for you, but I must also consider what is best
for me in this case.

If the other position doesn’t work out so well, and the position you’ve offered is still available,
maybe we can then make it work. Thank you again for the opportunity, I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Janene Terrence

You have not seen a close friend for a very long time.
You also still have a few of your friend’s belongings that were left at your house the last time
she visited. In your letter include:
– Why you are writing
– What you’ve been doing since you last spoke together
– Apologize for still having the items and ask how you can return them

Dear Jane,

I’m sorry that we haven’t talked in a long time. I hope everything is going well with you. I
have been pretty busy with my schedule lately, but I often remember all the fun things we
did together. Last summer was fantastic.

I was cleaning out my closet last weekend and I found a few of your shirts and books.
Hopefully you aren’t mad about not having them, but if you would like me to return them to
you please let me know what would be best for you.

It would also be great if we could try and meet up sometime in the near future. I miss you
more than I would like to. I’ve been doing ok, aside from being so busy. Aside from that
there isn’t much new with me.

What is new with you, are you still practicing violin? Let’s chat soon.

A new neighbour has moved in next door and has taken your main rubbish bin.
Write a letter to your new neighbour requesting that they return the item. In the letter:
– Explain that new bins must be sourced from the local council
– Request that the person returns your bin immediately
– Inform the person of what further actions you will take should they not return your bin

Dear new neighbour,

First of all, welcome to the neighbourhood.

I live at number 9, next door to you, and I’m writing to you because I saw you take my bin
into your garden on the day you moved in. I’m sure you were convinced that it must have
been yours, but I had simply left it outside for collection. If your bin is missing, you should
call the council and have them deliver a new one.

I cannot, however, live without a bin. I already have a bag in my kitchen waiting to be taken
out, and so I’m forcedto request that you return my bin immediately. Feel free to leave any
rubbish it already contains, but if you don’t return the bin within 48 hours, I will feel it
necessary to involve the council.

I hope we can resolve this conflict as quickly as possible, as I’m sure we’d make great
neighbours otherwise.

Your new neighbour,
Jeremy Mansfield

Dear Management,

My name is Karl Ferguson and I have been a loyal employee of HMG Inc. for over twelve
years. Currently, I am a floor manager working in the Urmston branch.

It has recently come to my attention that my wife’s father now requires full time care, and I
would like to request that I be transferred to a different office so that we may be more
involved.

I am aware that the company operates an office and factory in Devon, and working here
would mean being close enough to my father-in-law. If my exact role is not available at the
Devon site, I am willing to interview for other relevant jobs and consider them on a case-by-
case basis.

Unfortunately, this is a time sensitive issue, and so I would like to further request that I
receive confirmation of the transfer within the next 30 days, or I may have to consider
leaving the company entirely.

Yours faithfully,
Kalil Bradley

You recently used a taxi and left some important documents there. Write a letter to the taxi
manager and say:
– Describe what you left and where it happened.
– Why are these papers important?
– What would you like the manager to do about it?

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing in regards to a recent journey I made in a vehicle from your fleet on August 1st,
2019, more specifically, from London Mayfair to Piccadilly station, starting around 4 pm and
finishing 30 minutes later.

Immediately after entering the taxi that afternoon I immediately started reviewing some very
important documents containing confidential client data. I have strong reason to believe I left
these documents in the cab upon reaching the destination.

These papers are of enormous value because of the information contained, and if they fall
into the wrong hands there could be profoundly serious implications for myself, and possibly
your firm too. The documents concern an extremely sensitive governmental topic regarding
national security, it is therefore of paramount importance they are found and returned to me
as soon as possible.

As a result of this, I need your firm to check the security camera in the cab of the
aforementioned date and time, and please send a copy to this email
address: sample@sample.com. In addition, I would be terribly grateful if you could forward
Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
the contact details of the driver as I would like to contact him before the situation spirals out
of control.

Your assistance in this matter is of dire importance, furthermore, I would like to believe we
can solve this between ourselves without the Police or MI5 interference.

Your sibling has sent you a letter asking for an update on your life.
Write a letter to your sibling. In your letter:
– Describe what you did for your last birthday
– Ask for photos of your sibling’s last holiday
– Talk about something you are looking forward to

Dear Sis,

Thanks for your last letter; it gave me a giggle on a boring Wednesday.

As for me, I was out for my birthday last week; seven of us went to see a play at the Royal
Exchange Theatre, and we stayed out late at a cocktail bar. The play was good, the drinks
were many, and I had to take the next day off work with the world’s biggest hangover. I
swear they get worse every year.

I’ll be going to Spain for a couple of weeks next month, though, that’ll be good. That reminds
me, send me those photos from your last holiday, that one to Croatia, when you went to all
those music festivals – that sounded like the best time when you told me about it.

I’m looking forward to going to a festival or two, myself, and I want to get a good idea of
what the different ones are like. If you want to go with me next year, give me a shout ASAP.

Love love love,
Debby

Write a letter to a penpal. This can be your first letter or a letter you’re writing after knowing
your pen pal for a long time. Include details you would normally include when writing to a
pen pal in this situation.

Dear Oliver,

I am so grateful that I finally found someone I can write to on a regular basis! Thank you for
agreeing to be my pen pal, I appreciate it very much. I know that we both already have an
idea about each other, but I’d like to tell you a bit more about myself.

I really enjoy reading books and try to read at least 2 a week. Sometimes it is hard to keep
up with this schedule, especially while going to university and working at the coffee shop, but
I try my best. I also really like movies and will sometimes watch a movie from a book after I
have read the book just to see if they’re different and to see which I like more. Usually the

EXEMPLOS COM OS COMENTÁRIOS DOS EXAMINADORES:

Exemplo 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
You live in a room in college which you share with another student. You find it very difficult to
work there because he or she always has friends visiting. They have parties in the room and
sometimes borrow your things without asking you.

Write a letter to the Accommodation Officer at the college and ask for a new room next term.
You would prefer a single room. Explain your reasons.
You should write at least 150 words.

You do NOT need to write your own address. Begin your letter as follows:

Dear Sir/Madam,
Model answer 1

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my room-mate. As your know we share one
room, I can not study in the room at all any more if I still stay there.

She always has friend visiting and has parties in the room. They make lots of noise and
switch on the radio very loudly, for me this environment is very difficult to study and I need a
Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
quiet room. Even borrows my things without asking, it is very impolite.

I request you can give me a new room next term because I have been asked her has parties
in other place many times they still have parties in the room. I really can not stay in the
same room with her.

I would be grateful if you could change me a single room.

EXAMINER’S EXPLANATION - Band 5

A resposta está abaixo do número de palavras pedido e tem algumas repetições do próprio
enunciado. O tamanho do script é um problema comum no General Training. Respostas
curtas perdem pontos porque tem material insuficiente pro examinador avaliar pela precisão
e coerência. apesar desses problemas, a introdução da carta é apropriada e o propósito de
quem escreveu está claro. Os pontos não estão todos bem conectados e tem falhas nas
pontuações. As frases são muito simples e erros ocorreram quando se tentou estruturas mais
complexas.
Model answer 2
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing you to express my dissatisfaction with my roommate and request for another
accommodation next term.

My main problem is that I cannot study in my room because my roommate always has friends
visiting. He also has parties which usually end early in the morning, several times a week.
Furthermore, he often borrows my things without asking me.

I cannot accept this situation any longer. Especially because I have very important exams
next term and I really must study hard. This is why I would be very grateful if I could have
another room next term. It would be most convenient for me not having to share my room
with someone else.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Your faithfully,
Ivan Sidorov

fluente, é bem organizada, e faz um bom uso de conjunções pra conectar os pontos. Tem
alguns erros gramaticais mas não afetam muito o leitor e existe evidencia de frases com

Dear Mr Lee,
I am writing to you about the possibility of taking a fortnight off work in order to complete my
Master’s degree in Engineering. I am almost finished writing my thesis, which must be
submitted to my university by June 30th. Unfortunately, all my annual leave has been used
up. Any time I took off, would naturally be unpaid; I would also check my email daily, and be
available for emergency phone calls. On return, I would endeavour to come into the office
earlier than usual and work Saturdays in order to catch up on anything I had missed. I have
already spoken about my situation to my colleagues Mr Grunewald and Ms Tak, who are both
willing to assume my responsibilities for two weeks.
I realise my temporary absence could be an inconvenience to you and the rest of the team,
but in the long term, our company will benefit from my research. As you may be aware, I
have been investigating 3-D printing for some time, and my thesis compares three printers
already on the market with two designs pending patent and production. Since our company is
Gabriel Corso Pellens - gabrielpellens@gmail.com - CPF: 017.598.700-99
considering developing software for these printers, my expertise will help give us a
competitive edge.
I look forward to hearing from you.

You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Model answer – Band 9 answer
Dear Frank,
I was so sorry to hear about your accident! I hope you're feeling a lot better today and that
it's not too boring in hospital.
(Expressa simpatia e pergunta sobre o estado de saúde do leitor)
The match on Saturday was disappointing. The score was 2 all, probably because you weren't
there to score that extra goal! The awful thing was that we were winning until 10 minutes
before the end, when suddenly they scored another goal. I was so shocked when I saw the
ball hit the back of the net.
(Fala pra ele o placar e descreve rapidamente como você se sentiu sobre o jogo)
I think the weather was to blame. It was a really wet day and the pitch was very muddy. By
the end of the game you could hardly see the grass and we were sliding around in the mud.
Everyone was exhausted.
(Menciona sobre o tempo e condições)
Let us know when you're going home and we'll arrange for someone to bring you to watch
the next game. The rest of the team send their regards and we all wish you a speedy
recovery.
(Termina com good wishes.)
Best wishes,
Charlie

Examiner’s comments
Esta é uma boa resposta porque cobre todos os pontos na questão, apesar de não estar
necessariamente na mesma ordem, e entra com algumas ideias originais. Os parágrafos
estão bem divididos e tanto a introdução quanto a conclusão são apropriados à situação. O
uso de adjetivos para descrever como o escritor se sentiu está excelente e tem uma boa
variedade de estruturas usadas. O tom e a qualidade da comunicação da carta no geral estão
bons.

Model answer
Dear Sara,
My departure date for Canada is drawing near, and I am busy with preparations. I have
enrolled at an institution called ‘IDT English’ in Ottawa, for a four-month intermediate course,
full-time. It is quite expensive but I am hopeful of improving my pronunciation, especially.
To assist in covering the costs of my study, I aim to find a part-time job. Not only are the
college fees rather high, but also I know that rental accommodation in the capital city will not
be cheap, to say nothing of food and heating expenses! So I would very much like to arrange
some temporary employment before I arrive.
I was wondering if you could ask around among your friends and colleagues to see if anyone
wants a house-cleaner, gardener, or nanny for their children. I know you have a wide social
network in Ottawa which you could canvas for me, if you wouldn't mind. I'd be so grateful.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes,
Helen

DICA
Um problema comum no GT Task 1 é que os candidatos usam uma mistura estranha de
linguagem formal com informal. Nas cartas formais, eles às vezes incluem informalidades
inapropriadas; em cartas informais às vezes eles são formais demais, geralmente incluindo
partes decoradas. Essa mistura confunde o leitor e afeta a pontuação do candidato.

Dear Mr Watterson,
My name is Andrew Fish, and I am taking an eight-week intensive English course at Oxford
House College. My company is paying for my tuition, and I am using my summer vacation to
study. It is expected I will pass an English Proficiency Test as a result, and be transferred
abroad. Therefore, it is rather important to me that I am able to study in the best
environment.
I am staying in Phoenix Hostel on campus. While my room is pleasant and the facilities are
very good, the hostel is extremely noisy. When I organised my accommodation, I was
assured I would be staying only with post-graduate or intensive-course students. However,
most of the people in this hostel are doing summer-school courses due to academic failure,
and they are all under 22. It seems to me they are enjoying one long party: certainly no one
observes light out or turns down music despite being asked to.
I wonder if I may be moved to a hostel which is more conducive to serious study, or I may
use the remainder of my accommodation fee to go towards payment for a hotel.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Andrew Fish

Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to apply for the holiday job which you advertised recently in the newspaper. I am
a twenty-one-year-old student and I speakEnglish quite well. At present I am in my second
year studying History at Lincoln College and I am very keen to have a holiday job this
summer. I am extremely good at adding up, so I think I would be an asset to your shop.
My term finishes on 5th July and I am free until 20th September. Last year I worked in a
restaurant serving tourists from all over the world and I enjoyed it very much. I would like to
have the opportunity to meet people and practise my English again.
I enjoy going to museums and am particularly keen on history. Last year I went to an
exhibition of Ancient Greek objects which was held in London. I have often been in your
museum and am familiar with the items you have. I do hope you will be interested in my
application.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a 21-year-old student and I am studying Sports Coaching Science at St Mary's
University. I have been studying there for the past three years. I am writing to ask if there
are any part-time job vacancies at your football club.
I really enjoy sport, and my areas of particular interest and experience are Football, Rugby
and Cricket. I have had some experience of coaching for these sports over the past three
years that I have been at the University. Last year, I worked in the holidays at a football club
in my own country. I will be able to provide references from this summer job and also from
my teachers at the university.
I would prefer to work in the evenings and at the weekends, as I have classes during the

No GT Writing Module você pode precisar escrever uma carta para aplicar pra um emprego.
você vai precisar usar uma variedade de vocabulário, alguns bem específicos.

Qual a diferença entre um CV e um resume?
A principal diferença é o tamanho.
Geralmente os resumes são limitados à 1 página.
Já os CVs frequentemente tem 3 ou mais páginas.

Dear Miss Berry,
As you know, I have rented 41 George Roche Road from you for six months from 15th
August. However, I am afraid I will no longer be able to move in on that date, as my plans
have had to change because of illness.

During the summer vacation, I was working in a company as a Project Manager. Towards the
end of my shift, I slipped and fell on a wet floor and broke my wrist. Luckily, it was a clean
break and didn't require surgery. However, it is my right wrist, and so I am unable to write
for the time being.

At the weekends, I usually played volleyball with friends or, if the weather's bad, we have
been to the theatre, which is very popular in Singapore. Because of my part-time job, I
also did spend a lot of time studying at the weekend.
