- Dear Mrs Jones,
- I am writing with reference to your advertisement for the position of volunteer at the Preston Animal Shelter, which appeared in the Brighton Mail of 25 July. I am interested in applying for the post.
I am currently a year ten student at Coburg High School. 3) Moreover, by the end of this month I will have completed a three-week course on first aid at the local community centre. I am also a member of Greenpeace. - I am described by my teachers as hardworking, dedicated and responsible. As for work experience, last summer I worked at a pet shop. My duties included caring for and feeding the animals, as well as keeping the shop in order.
I have enclosed an application form including the telephone number and email address where 5) I can be reached. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
I look forward to hearing from you. - Yours sincerely,
Adam Appleby
Решение
- «Dear Mrs Jones,» — вежливое обращение по фамилии: D (formal greeting).
- «I am writing with reference to…» — книжный оборот «в связи с…» (вместо простого about): C (advanced vocabulary).
- «Moreover» — «более того»: формальное слово-связка: A (formal linking words).
- «I am described by my teachers» — подчёркнуто «I am», в формальном письме не сокращают, пишем полную форму, а не I'm: F (full forms).
- «I can be reached» — «со мной можно связаться»: страдательный залог be + V
, безличный стиль: E (passive voice). - «Yours sincerely,» — формальная концовка, потому что в начале указано имя адресата: B (formal ending).
