Band 8+: 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 John,

I hope this letter finds you in radiant health and the best of spirits. I received your letter last week. I thought about what is the best thing to do for yourself.

I think you should get a job and start working. Let me explain myself. The thing is, nowadays most of the younger generation wants to go to college. They do not want to work because it is harder to work. Just try to think about it. If you have two options and one of them is easy and fun, the other is hard and not funny at all. You probably choose the easy one, which is to go to college. But the problem starts after you graduate from college. You realize that most of your agemates went to college as well. Because of that, you cannot find a job. All of you have the same skillsets. But if you choose to start working besides going to college, you will realize you are earning more money than your college-graduated agemates. You probably set up your life, buy your house or car before them. So, I suggest you get a job.

Yours lovely,

Mertcan Adan
