Today's lesson

We will look at how to write a formal letter in English (a cover letter, a resume cover letter...).

We will look at linking words.

You will learn how to describe yourself in a cover letter.

• Take a look at the letter on the left.
  
• What do you notice about the layout?
  
• Are you familiar with the highlighted phrases?
  

Linking words

These are words which we use to join 2 sentences together.

The most common linking word is "and" but there are a lot more examples. Take a look at the chart on the right!

Describing yourself in cover letters

In cover letters we need to use adjectives to describe ourselves. 

How would you describe yourself? Think of 3-5 words.

I send you a link to practise with these words. Also, the following slide has a list of some words one can use (there are loads more though!)

Describing yourself: 

Think about the 3-5 words you first came up with to describe yourself.

Have you come across other words in the list(s) which might describe you better?

How would you use these words in a sentence in cover letter?
