My Letter of Application A task to prepare for CAE exam. Please, correct it. Dear Mr. X, I am writing to apply for a summer internship at your hotel. I have seen your advertisement about the position of front desk assistant on our university website. I feel I can meet the requirements of this post. I am currently studying at Saratov State University. My major subjects are Management and Tourism and I am also studying Translation and interpreting as my minor. The course covers such subjects as special interest tourism, visitor attraction management, customer care, and clients psychology. As you will see from the enclosed academic records I am one of the best performers at my University. Customer care is an area that particularly interests me. To gain practical experience in interaction with clients I have worked as a waitress for two summer periods at the restaurant. The first summer I worked as a waitress. My strong interpersonal skills and excellent English language knowledge allowed me to become one of the best workers among their service staff and to receive an extra benefit for successful dealing with unhappy clients. The next year I was offered the position of a restaurant assistant at the same company. My duties there included leading customers to their seats and taking their orders, as well as serving them. Your hotel is famous for its unique atmosphere, excellent cuisine, and high standards of service. I would therefore very much like the opportunity to work for your company and to contribute to its development. I would be pleased to provide you with any further information you may require. Yours sincerely, Olga.

Essay. Could you pleade chek it? It is the task from my advanced student's book. This essay is based on a recent discussion about how important it is to give children the opportunity to take care of animals and it aims to highlight two main concerns. First, looking after an animal can give children lots of information about its habits, behaviour and other aspects of natural life which are studied in theory at school. It provides children with a great opportunity to implement knowledge they gain by reading books and watching films about wild life. Therefore it will enable children to memorise well everything they learn about nature because knowledge being used in real life is captured bettter. Beyond that play (play with pets in our case) is a vital part of the childrens life and using it as an educational tool is a good method to teach something in a fun and effective way. Children will get a valuable insight into the life of animals, unobtrusively. Second, the significance of taking care of animals can hardly be overestimated in regard to the influence it has on character building. When communicating with animals, feeding them, walking with them and cleaning everything after them, children learn how to be more responsible, thoughtful and caring. This can have positive effect both in personal and in public aspects. Considerate, well-organised and patient person is likely to become good family member, better worker and more environmentally friendly and responsible society member. In conclusion I would like to mention that, in my opinion, personal reason is more important than the educational one, because features of the character provide a base for the happy and successful life. People with highly developed emotional intelligence and kind hearts are capable to form the society we all want to live in.
