II. Read and translate the text. RESUME Resume is a summary of education, work experience, and qualifications. There are two terms which exist in parallel: C.V. or curriculum vitae, which comes from Latin and means autobiography, and resume which is borrowed from French and means a summary. There is no mush difference between them except that a resume is usually shorter (one page long) and written by those applicants who have little work experience. The resume is very important in job searching. It is a calling card which is purposed to attract the interest of the prospective employer. The resume should describe an applicant's personality and demonstrate his energy, ambition, and ability to work in teams. It should give the employer a sense that this candidate would be a good investment for the company. An effective resume must make a good first impression. Of course, appearance is important but content is even more crucial. The information in a resume needs to be well-organized, easy to read, and result-oriented. It usually includes personal information, professional and volunteer experience, special skills, educations, accomplishments, and references. An effective resume should address the employer's needs. Its aim is to show the prospective employers how an applicant's skills, accomplishments and abilities match their needs and organization goals. The best way to achieve this is to include only the work experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for. Every day employers sort through piles of resumes and typically devote 30 seconds or less to each one. Employers won't read any more than two pages, anyway. If you can fit your resume onto one page, that's fine! Employers are looking for, among other qualities, strong organizational and communication skills. There are two main formats of a resume: chronological and functional. The most popular among the beginners is a chronological resume. In the chronological resume a list of education and work experience is presented in a reverse chronological order. This is followed by a statement explaining job responsibilities. In the functional resume experience and skills are given under the job title, without dates or places of an employment. In the functional resume, emphasis is placed on what you've achieved and not where and when you achieved it. It is particularly useful if you have made many changes from one field to another or previous jobs are unrelated to the current position. Your resume also serves as a self-assessment tool, an opportunity to complete a self-inventory and see where you've been and where you'd like to go. The matter of fact is that even an excellent resume will not get you a job all on its own. But it does show that you take your career seriously and help you to market your skills and experience. A good resume helps you to pique a prospective employer's interest and prevents you from achieving circular status. III. Answer the questions. 1. What kind of paper is a resume / C.V.? 2.

Написаннялистів
I. Vocabulary
1. Think of different types of letters, letter writing rules, words used to write each type of letters. Be ready to tell about it.

Letter
Formal

transactional
2. Read the information about letters.
Letters can be formal or informal. There are quite a few types of letters such as: letters of invitation, letters accepting or refusing invitations, letters asking for or giving further information, applications, letters of complaint, letters of apology, letters giving or asking for directions, letters asking for advice, letters to a friend about the latest news, letters expressing thanks/regrets/congratulations, etc.
Before we start writing a letter it is important to think about who we are writing to. If we use the wrong style, the letter will look odd, silly or impolite. For example, if we write to a company and use informal language, the letter will look impolite. In the same way, if we write to a friend and use formal language, the letter will look odd.
3. Study the general outline of letters.
Salutation → Paragraph 1 Reason(s) for writing→ Paragraph 2, 3 Development → Final paragraph Closing remarks → Name.
4. There are certain factors which help us to decide whether a letter is formal or informal. These are:
The opening of the letter (e.g. Dear Sir/Madam/Dear Mary)
The topics in the letter (e.g. when formal, they should be only facts)
The language used (e.g. formal or informal)
The closing of the letter and the name at the end of it (Yours sincerely, Peter Brown/Love, Peter, etc.)
5. Style in formal and informal letters.
| Formal Letters | Semi-Formal or Informal Letters |
| Salutation: Dear Sir/Madam,
Name: Yours faithfully, Peter Brown | Salutation: Dear Mary,
Name: Best wishes / Love / Yours / Regards, Peter |
6. Read the following sentences and classify them into three groups: the ones that can be used at the beginning of the letter, at the end, or in its body.
I thought I'd write and let you know that...
I do lots of different things...
I've dropped you a line to let you know how...
Chicago is a really exciting city...
Reply promptly...
I'd better end now, because...
There's so much to choose from...
I'll never forget my sightseeing tour...
I was sorry to hear that...
The reason I'm writing is...

LETTER I
Dear Ms. Johnson,
I am writing in response to your request for advice on choosing a career.
The nursing profession is both enjoyable and rewarding; however there are also negative aspects that have to be considered. Most importantly a lifelong commitment of very hard work is required. A nurse must be prepared to work long hours, often under stressful conditions. You are encouraged to pursue a career in nursing if it interests you, but consideration of other options is also recommended. Microbiology, for example, is a profession within the medical field which can be equally rewarding, yet less stressful than nursing.
I hope you find this information useful. Please contact me upon reaching a decision...
Yours sincerely,
Alice White
LETTER 2
Dear Tracy,
Just got your letter and sat down straight away to tell you what I think.
You know I've been a nurse for years and it's been fan, but sometimes I wish L'd taken an easier road. Nursing is like being a mother: you work long hours, you worry about people all the time, and nobody ever says thank you. If you want to be a nurse, go for it, but think about it first. Why don 'tyou study microbiology? It's interesting and you don't have to work 24 hours a day and come home every night with a pounding headache from the stress.
Hope I've been helpful! Let me know what you decide.
Love, Jennifer
LETTER 3
July 24, 2002
Dear Jean,
It was so good to get your last letter and hear about the new happenings in your life. Your new job sounds very interesting and I'm sure you will enjoy working there.
Things are very much the same here. We all miss you, but we understand that this new job will be a good career move for you.
I have been busy with the newly organized РТА1 at the twins' school. The first meeting was last Thursday evening and about 20parents showed up. We got to meet the new teachers and then became acquainted with some of the other parents whose kids are in the same room with the twins. They are so excited that I am able to help their teacher now that I have decided to be a stay-at-home mom. That translates into batches and batches of cookies I'll be turning out for school functions.
