### Exercise 7 #### a) Evaluation of the Letter **Answer:** No, the letter is **not appropriate**. It is written in an overly informal tone, includes irrelevant personal details (physical appearance, family, dog's name, holiday plans), reveals negative personal qualities (*impatient and moody*), and uses informal phrasing (*I want to work for you*, *I can't wait to hear from you*). --- #### b) Inappropriate Parts & Corrected Letter **Inappropriate parts:** 1. `which I saw in the newspaper I bought while I was walking my dog, Pedro, yesterday` — irrelevant details about the dog and walk. 2. `I am tall and I have got long brown curly hair. I have got one sister, who I get on with very well.` — irrelevant physical description and personal life details. 3. `I want to work for you.` — too informal and abrupt. 4. `but I can sometimes be a little impatient and moody.` — mentioning negative character traits harms the job application. 5. `I finish my exams at the end of May but I’m planning to go on holiday in June.` — unnecessary explanation of private holiday plans. 6. `I can’t wait to hear from you.` — overly informal closing phrase; contractions like *don't, I'm, can't* should be avoided in formal writing. --- **Rewritten Letter:** 28 Leahurst Rd York YK13 SNL 4th September Dear Mr Willis, I am writing to apply for the position of Part-Time Sales Assistant, which was advertised in the local newspaper.
