b) Now read these two letters applying for the job. Dear Ms Langley, I have seen your advertisement and would like to apply for the job of helper in a summer camp in America. This job would be ideal for me as I am an active and energetic 18-year-old Austrian boy. I am a keen sportsman and have played football for the local club since I was 9. I’m also a member of the school tennis club and was the under-18 champion last year. I’m a strong swimmer too, but I have never tried horse riding, though I would like to learn. I think I speak English well as I spent three months in Manchester as an exchange student. While I was there, I helped my host family run a youth club. I really enjoyed organising quizzes, discos and barbecues for the members, who ranged from 10 to 14 in age. I have had a holiday job in a restaurant, so kitchen duties would not be a problem. I hope you will consider my application and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Simon Mann Dear Jane, My name’s Carl and I think I’d be great for the job as I’m mad about sports, especially skiing and snowboarding. I sometimes play football though to be honest I’d rather watch it on the TV. A trip to America would be really cool and I’m sure I’d be OK with the kids – I’ve got an 11-year-old sister and I get on all right with her and her mates, even though we used to fall out a lot! I really like computer games and horse riding sounds fun, though it might be a bit scary at first. I can swim – will there be a heated pool at the camp? Please write soon, Carl c) Which person is more likely to get the job? In his letter, has Simon omitted any points from the advertisement? Look at Carl’s letter: Underline any informal language that he uses. • Is there any inappropriate information in his letter? • How could he make a better impression on Jane Langley? • 108 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
