Band 7+: You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or try to get a job. You think he/she should get a job. Write a letter to this friend. In your letter: say why he/she would not enjoy going to college explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her

Dear Hanna,

I hope this letter finds you well. I’m writing in response to your letter asking for advice.

According to my experience, I would suggest you get a job right now. I say this because I’m positive that going into college as soon as you graduate high school will put a lot of pressure on your mind because of academic stress.

Besides this, considering your financial condition, it would be best to get a job and save some money for your college tuition later on. Getting a job would also give you more time to think about your career options. Remember, you can always quit a job and start anew but getting into college with doubts in your mind might waste a lot of your precious time.

I’ve seen how good you are with people so I think getting a job in the hospitality sector would suit you the best. Plus, you’re also amazing with troubleshooting computers, so, try looking into some IT jobs as well.

Let me know what you decide!

Best Regards

Jaspinder
