Dear Mr. Moore, 

Re: Waitress position 

I am writing to express my interest in your recently advertised position for a waitress. Enclosed with this letter is my resume, which further details of my previous experience and qualifications. 

Not only do my qualifications and work experience make me a perfect candidate for the job, my personality is well suited to working as a waitress. I am a very friendly person who can quickly establish rapport with people of all ages. In my last waitress job, I had over a dozen repeat customers each day. And, the fast-paced environment of waiting on tables suits me well, because I thrive on working under pressure. In fact, my former boss was surprised at both my incredible stamina and efficiency in dealing with customers’ orders. 

I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience, to discuss the possibility of working at your restaurant. I can be reached at 463-9234 during the days and 924-6868 after 6 pm. 

Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to meeting you in the near future. 

Yours sincerely, 

Martha Scott

Dear Mary, 

I am very much looking forward to your visit to my city. Just think: after all these years to writing to each other, we will finally have the chance to meet! However, I regret to inform you that I will not be able to meet you at the airport as soon as you arrive. 

The reason is that your flight will arrive early in the morning, and the quickest time I can get to the airport will be about an hour after you land. Please wait for me in the arrival lounge. You should be able to have breakfast there while you wait. 

By the way, as we have never met I must tell you how to recognize me: I am of medium height and have a small mustache. In addition, I will be carrying a copy of the morning newspaper tucked under my left arm. 

Looking forward to our first meeting. 

Yours sincerely, 

Harry

Today's Writing

 

You have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject to specialize in – history, in which he is very interested, or computer science, which offers better job prospects.

  • You should write at least 150 words.
  • You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.




<Model Answer>

 

Dear John, 

You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university, and I will try to make some useful suggestions. 

You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career. Therefore, your first consideration should be to study a subject which will best equip you to earn a living. There is no doubt that the field of computers offers far wider job opportunities than history. 

Besides, we are now in the age of the high-technology revolution. For the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate, it will also be necessary for them to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living! History, I’m afraid, however fascinating it may be, offers few career prospects. 

Of course, you don’t have to devote all your time at university to studying computers and nothing else. On the contrary, I would recommend that you keep your reading of history in your spare time. That way, you will find that your leisure hours are enriched while you prepare yourself for a worthwhile career in computers. 

Yours sincerely, 

James

  나에게는 나만의 고집이 있는 거 같다...
나만이 그럴꺼라는 흐름...

 그 흐름이라는 것이 아닌 것 같은 느낌이 오면 틀리더라도 확인을 하지 않고
결정을 하는 행동을 한다. 잘못 된다는 것은 많은 시간과 돈이 들고 서야...
그 잘못 되었다고 생각된것이 내가 틀렸다고 알아차리기 전까지 정답이 옆에 있음에도
불구하고 내 느낌의 답을 밀고 물어지는 경향이 있다...

 시제... 이거 정말 나에게는 그걸 바로바로 보여주는 문제다..
이걸 하며 내 일반적인 생활 모습에서도 그런 것을 알게 해준다....

 정답은 부지런해야 한다... 게을러서 확인을 하지 않고 쉽게 얻을려고 하는 내 모습에서
나오는 판단인 것이다 ...

EX)
You have just spent a weekend staying at the Lilo Hotel in Adelaide. When you get home you find that you have left a bag at the hotel.

 이걸 읽고 판단하는데 있어서 나는 많은 문제점을 들어내고 있다.
그냥 그 문장을 보지 않고 말이다 --;

1. 현재 집에 와 있는데 리오 호텔에서 보낸 것에 왜 완료형을 썼을까?
   집에오기 직전까지 보낸 것을 의미하기 위해?
   호텔에서 집오는 중간 과정은 호텔에 있지 않았는데 왜 완료형을 썼을까 이다...
   이때부터 뒷문장의 시제는 모두 의심의 대상이 되어 버린다 -00

2. a weekend staying at the Lio Hotel...
   앞 뒤 시제 생각 없이 "a weekend stayed at the Lio Hotel..."
   이것도 되지 않을까? 란 생각을 한다...
   이때부터 전체 내용은 중요치 않게 된다.. (--;)
    a weekend staying 맞고 a weekend stayed 맞지 않을까란 생각을 굴리며
  상황을 생각한다. 두개의 차이점은 멀까...
  동시동작?  완전히 보낸 주말 .. 완료된 시점..
  틀린 말일까? 어떤 걸써도 의미는 비슷하지 않을까..
  듣든 사람 대충 알아듣지 않을까? 등등...

3.   have left
    이건 뭥미.....


    귀찮다... 위 문장 볼때 느꼈던 궁금증 쓰기.. --;

 Marcel thanks for posting that question.

In fact all the sentences you wrote are correct but the most common one in English is the first one, ‘I thought they would still be alive’. With adverbs like ‘still’, the most natural positioning is between the auxiliary/modal and the base verb.’ Still’ is used to say that something in the present, not the past, has surprisingly not finished. Listen to these examples:

She’s still sleeping. 
You’re not still working are you? 
They are still arguing about the phone bill.

Right, back to your sentences. Even though the first and second sentence mean the same, there is a difference in emphasis, they stress different things. What I mean is this:

I thought they would still be alive - here ‘alive’ is emphasised as the most important aspect. 
I thought they would be alive still - in this example ‘still’ is stressed as the most important aspect.

Your third sentence, 'I thought they would be still alive’, is the most unusual and unnatural way of expressing the sentence. It doesn’t sound like modern English at all so I suggest you focus on the structure presented in the first two sentences. Just choose between them according to the emphasis that you'd like to express.

<Model Answer>

 

Dear Mr. Simpson, 

I stayed in your hotel on the 23rd and 24th of October. I was in Room 603. When I arrived home, I discovered that I had left one of my bags at the hotel. Could you please check your Lost and Found Department and see if my bag is there? 

The bag is a small black leather, document case with a narrow strap. Inside the bag, you will find several business cards, a fountain pen, a small address book, three copies of a business proposal and a silver pocket calculator. These things are not very valuable in money terms, but they have a lot of personal value. 

I would appreciate it if you could contact me as soon as possible, particularly since I need the proposals for a presentation this week. If you could send the bag to me by courier service, I would be most grateful. I have arranged to pay for the service. 

Thank you for your help. 

Yours sincerely, 

Michael Johnson
