Unit 3, Writing 2E Dear Mr Lucas,
I am writing to apply for the position of sales executive that I saw advertised in yesterday’s Daily Argus. I hope to work in sales, and I am interested in working for your company.
I recently finished a Business Studies degree at York University. I achieved very high grades in Economics and Marketing. Part of my degree course involved designing and developing new ideas. I learn quickly and work well with other people.
My father runs an import and export company, and from the age of 16 I have helped him in his office. I have learnt many useful business skills and communicated with clients both on the telephone and face-to-face.
I am outgoing and confident and I enjoy a challenge. I think I would be the right person for a position in your company. I can attend an interview at any time and look forward to hearing from you.
Your sincerely, Ahmed Khatani

Unit 4, Exam Practice, Writing C
Some people think that having great talent is enough to succeed in life. They see actors and artists and great sportsmen and think they are successful because they were born with talent. They forget that these people also worked very hard to get where they are.
In my opinion, talent can only take you so far. To reach the top you also need the desire to be the best and the discipline to work hard to be the best. You must also get the right advice and listen to it. You need the support of the people around you – your friends and family.
I think there are many talented people who are not successful because they are lazy. Some don’t succeed because their parents or their teachers don’t push them to do well. Some talented people are quite unusual and their friends and family don’t take them seriously. Then they don’t have the confidence to succeed.
My hero is the basketball player Michael Jordan. He had incredible natural talent, but he was the first player to arrive for training every day and the last player to leave. This desire to work hard and to practise is what made him the best.
To sum up, I want to say that talent, hard work and support from others must go together if somebody is successful. There are many people in top positions who have less natural talent than another person who has not achieved very much at all.
