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 Ansh,

I hope you are doing well. I am writing this letter to you as a piece of advice on why you should get a job instead of joining college.

I believe that going to college would be a hard task for you right now. If you are going to join college, it would be difficult for you to complete all the assignments, prepare for the exams, and all other things relating to studies. You will need money to invest in college for graduation. As you are helping your parents to be financially stable, going to college is not a wise decision.

I would suggest you apply for jobs in your area or outside the city. It will help you earn lots of money and make you independent. It will also help you develop your team-leading skills and how to achieve your personal as well as organizational goals. Then, you can help your parents by providing them financial support. Make yourself financially stable first; then you should think about joining college.

Considering your talent—you are a very talented and creative person, I know—and because your mathematics is so strong, I think an accounting position would be a great fit for you. This will help you grow your skills in the line of banking and help you gain more experience in it.

I hope you will find this letter helpful. Take care.

Yours truly,

Samardeep
