To do this, the letter presents what youcan offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job.Like résumé, the letter of application is sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrateyour skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with professionalcare, it is likely to be very effective. While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter isyour chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to theTrang 2/5 Mã thi 409ềspecific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics.The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company.The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it mustbe modest. It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the backnor ask for sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with the present or formerjob or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job.Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if job advertisementrequires that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them "negotiable."However, when you go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention salary range. For thisreason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don'twant to ask for less than you deserve or more than is reasonable.(Adapted from "Select Readings Intermediate" by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen)Question 28: What is the passage mainly about?A.

Whatever the achievements ofother members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, whohas hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the publicadulation Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students in fact, they all adorehim. The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is super dog, who has improved students'behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement.Andrew Wainwright, student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming aboutbeing able to interact with Henry during his time at the school's catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind,that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is becauseHenry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had calming effect on them.It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposedbuying school dog. "Julie and were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affectchildren's conduct," says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of petsTrang 3/5 Mã thi 409ềhas been shown to be therapeutic. number of studies have shown that animals improve recoveryafter surgery or illness and have calming influence on people in lot of settings.

"Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the wordsin the wrong order is reduced when they read to him," says Johnston.Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offerunconditional love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. Buttraditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why ateacher cannot create positive learning environment through the subject they teach and theirpersonality. Dogs strike me as bit of publicity stunt. It's the kind of sentimental storyjournalists love." Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.(Adapted from "Ready for Advanced" by Roy Norris and Amanda French with Miles Hordern)Question 35: Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?A.
