Теоретические материалы по теме и задания:
Exercise 1. Answer the questions.
Do you know anything about Curriculum Vitae (CV)? How is it written in your country?
Does the employer ask to show it during the job interview?
Have you ever had to enclose CV to letter the letter of application?
Exercise 2. Read the information about CVs.
Curriculum vitae (CV)
A CV (curriculum vitae) is essential if you are applying for a new job or for promotion within your own company, or even to register as a delegate at a conference. Some information might be given in your CV, some in your letter of application – and perhaps some on a Supplementary Information sheet (giving information relevant to the particular job you are applying for). There are no fixed international rules about this: different countries have different practices.
Exercise 3. Choose the statements which can be used in a CV.
• Your name, address, telephone number. • The title and reference number of a job.
41
• Your date of birth. • Your marital status.
• The name and address of present / last employer. • Details of all the jobs you have ever had.
• Your hobbies and leisure interests. • The sports you play.
• The languages you speak, read or write.
• Details of vital examinations you have ever passed. • Details of professional details or degrees you have gained. • Details of training courses you have attended.
• Details of your achievements and responsibilities in your working career. • Your suitability for the job advertised.
• Your reasons for applying for the job. • When you are available for the interview. • Your current / last salary.
• The salary you would expect to receive.
Exercise 4. Write your CV. Follow the instructions.
• Write your name. • Write your date of birth. • Write your address.
• Write several sentences to say what you are really good at and what you want to do.
• Write about your education and qualifications. Start with the most recent. • Write about your jobs. Start with the most recent.
• Write about your interests.
Exercise 11. Read the text and choose the best answer.
How to improve your CV
Start by making a list of what you have done and keep it on your computer. This way you can update it regularly (you can change it to fit the job you are applying for).
Remember that employers will look at your experience and your interests, so don’t undervalue the things you have done.
Try to make your CV lively. Use words like ‘organize’, ‘be responsible for’, etc. Things you did for a day or two are also experience. Give them a short paragraph.
You should not change your CV.
You should make a new CV for every job application. You should adapt and update your CV.
42
You say exactly what you did. You say about the skills you used.
You undervalue what you have done. Not to sound too positive.
To sound too positive. To sound positive.
Not to use active words. Experience.
Interests.
Exercise 5. Read an example CV. Was it written correctly? Find out the point which you would write in other way. Rewrite this CV according to your understanding of CV writing.

A business letter
3519 Front Street
Mount Celebres, CA 65286 January 14, 2019
Ms. Betty Johnson
Accounts Payable
The Cooking Store
765 Berliner Plaza Industrial Point, CA 68534
Dear Ms. Johnson:
It has come to my attention that your company, The Cooking Store has been late with paying their invoices for the past three months.
In order to encourage our customers to pay for their invoices before the due date, we have implemented a discount model where we’ll give you 5 % off your invoice if you pay us within 10 days of receiving the invoice.
I hope that everything is going well for you and your company. You are one of our biggest customers, and we appreciate your business. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (555) 555-5555.

A business email letter
Hello,
I read on your web site that you offer music CD copying for large quantities of CDs. I’d like to inquire about the procedures involved in these services. Are the files transferred online, or are the titles sent by CD to you by standard mail? How long does it usually take to produce approximately 500 copies? Are there any discounts on such a large quantity?
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. I look forward to your response.
Jack Finley
Sales Manager, Young Talent Inc. (709) 567 – 3498
Exercise 3. Read the following rules.
What difference have you noticed between a formal letter and email? Do these examples correspond to points represented in the plan?
If you notice any mistakes or if you want to improve the structure of the letter and email, write your versions. Before writing read the information about the difference between a business letter and email.
A formal e-mail should be written as if it is a business letter. You should be sure whom it should be addressed to and how you plan to communicate your clear intentions throughout the e-mail correspondence.
Important Points to Remember
• Email is much less formal than a written letter. Emails are usually short and concise.
• If you are writing to someone you don’t know, a simple “Hello” is adequate. Using a salutation such as “Dear Mr Smith,” is too formal.
• When writing to someone you know well, feel free to write as if you are speaking to the person.
• Use abbreviated verb forms (He’s, We’re, He’d, etc.)
47
• Include a telephone number to the signature of the email. This will give the recipient the chance to telephone if necessary.
• It is not necessary to include your email address as the recipient can just reply to the email.
• When replying eliminate all the information that is not necessary. Only leave the sections of text that are related to your reply. This will save your reader time when reading your email.
Exercise 4. Write a business letter and a business email. Check your letters according to the following points.
Have you followed the plan? Have you used appropriate language? Have you checked for mistakes in grammar, spelling and punctuation? Is your letter/email letter well organised?
Exercise 5. Write your own CV. Bear in mind the fact that you may use this CV in your professional life.

Теоретические материалы по теме и задания:
Exercise 1. Read the information about writing an informal letter/email.
Writing informal letters and emails involves writing letters or emails to friends or relatives.
When writing an informal letter or email our language is more relaxed and we are able to use abbreviations, which is rare in other forms of English writing, except perhaps when using direct speech.
Opening
Use an informal greeting Dear …, Hi, ...
Paragraph 1.
Thank the reader for his letter/email. Say why you are writing.
It was great to get your email! How are you? As you know,...; I’m writing to...

Paragraph 2.
Give more information about your reason for writing. Say what news you’ve got.
We’ve decided to...; Did I tell you about...?
Paragraph 3.
Give more information.
As for...; By the way,...; Also,...
Paragraph 4.
Finish your writing and add any final points you want to make. Say why you have to finish the letter now.

Signing off.
Talk to you later. That’s all for now.

Think about who you’re writing for and use a suitable style; Write down your ideas and select the best ones;

Make sure each paragraph begins with a topic sentence;
Use direct and indirect questions as well as a variety of short and longer sentences to capture the reader’s interest;
Put the main points of your article into the middle paragraphs.
49
*The title! Don’t be shocked because of the fact that you should think about the title after writing the whole article! You can modify the theme a little bit (or much :)) in the process of writing the article. That’s why the title imagined before the article may not be proper. It is excellent to perform the title in the form of a question! Really the audience will be interested in such an article!
Exercise 2. Read the plan of the article. What else can you involve?

Information and the person
1.Knowledge is information for a person. Different kinds of knowledge for a person can be divided into two groups – declarative and procedural.
2.Actions made with information, so called informational processes, are storage, transfer and processing.
3.The person stores information in his or her own memory (that is inner, operative information) and on external holders e.g., paper (that is external information). By means of sense organs a person perceives symbolic and graphic information. Symbolic information is represented by rules of some language. Languages can be natural and formal.
