• Engels
• Middelbare school

Welcome!

Phones in the bags, bags on the rack :)

You'll need your laptop and student book

Do this WORDLE first

Class rules

Use English as much as possible --> Mistakes = no problem

Listen to the speaker - whether it's me or someone else!

Respect, be nice, and don't laugh at each other

Quiet when working and fun when possible.

Homework = study; only HW is what you don't finish in class = be active

Keep laptops (half)closed when not in active use.

5.7 - writing

I can write a simple letter of application.

Discuss:

Would you like to have a job now?

What part-time job would you like to have next year?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Where can you find job adverts?

What kind of job is this advertising?

Is it a permanent job?

Is it well-paid? How old do you have to be to apply?

What would you mention in an application letter?

• Do exercises 4, 5 in pairs
• ex 6 & 7 individually
  

1. Say where you saw the advert:

With reference to your advertisement in ...

2. WHY:

I would like to apply for the position of...

3. What are you doing NOW:

At the moment, I am...

4. REASONS:

I am particularly interested in your company because...

• ex 5:
  1 connection; 2 interest;
  3 experience;
  4 advertisement; 5 suitable; 6 available
• ex 6:
  Wrong - 1, 3, 5
  Right - 2, 4, 6

formal vs informal (ex 7)

Make it formal - write down the whole sentence:
I got top marks in my English exams at the end of last term.

Make it formal - write down the whole sentence:
I believe that I am the right person for a job in sales and marketing.

Make it formal - write down the whole sentence:
I'm sure that I've got good communication skills.

Your turn!

Apply for a summer job or for an after-school job for next year!

You can come up with your own ideas or use ex 9!

Finished? Get feedback from someone ;)

Can you...

... write a simple letter of application and use formal language?

Study the vocab, grammar, and writing an application.

Try to also read a little :)
