Book 11 General Writing Test 1

You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or try to get a job. You think he/she should get a job.

Write a letter to this friend. In your letter:

• Say why he/she would not enjoy going to college
• Explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her
• Suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such as their hobbies and interests, and whether they are married or single. Some people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others disagree.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
