You are going to listen to a dialogue and practice it with a class mate.
Click on 'Listen All' and follow along.
After becoming comfortable with the entire conversation, become Person A by clicking on the Person B button.
You will hear only Person B through the audio file. There will be a silence for you to repeat the sentences of Person A.
Do the same for Person B.
The speed of the conversation is native speed.
Use the 'Pause'-button if the pause between each sentence is too fast for you.
After practicing several times, you will be able to speak as fast as a native.

A: "Hi Matt, I finished the assignment on the documents. Did you get a chance to review them?" B: "Yeah. I already reviewed them. It was pretty good." A: "Since it was my first project, I was wondering if I can get some feedback." B: "Well, you finished the project on time. And seeing how it was your first assignment, you did very well." A: "Thanks. If it wasn't my first assignment, where do you think I need to improve?" B: "That's a fair question... I think you could have spent a little more time documenting the difference between Process A and Process B. You showed a lot of the similarities, but lacking a little on the differences." A: "I'll keep that in mind. How about the structure? I changed the template a little because I wanted to add a section for recommendation." B: "I liked the addition. Usually people just enter it into the comment section on the bottom but having a clear section makes it stand out. That was good." A: "Was there anything else? I like to get feedback early so I can improve." B: "No problem. Everything else on the assignment was great. The only other tip I can give you is sending me more updates. If I knew you were stuck on section C for a while, I could have saved you a lot of time. So keep me aware on your status." A: "That makes sense. I'll do that. Thanks for the feedback." B: "Don't mention it. And good job on the assignment." A: "Thanks."
Step 6 - Writing
Writing an application letter
You are going to learn how to write an application letter.
First read the theory (which explains what to write and how to write).
Read the examples of the application letter.
Do the exercise.
Discuss your answers with a class mate.
Read the theory.
Writing an application letter
When you apply for a job with an application form there is no need to send a letter.
If you are sending a CV it is normal to include a covering letter. Sometimes a letter is all you need for a job application. The job advertisement will always tell you how to apply.
A letter for a job application is a very important letter. The way you present the letter is your first introduction to the person who could be your new employer.
As luck would have it, there is a standard format for this kind of letter, and this makes the letter much easier to write.
There are four basic pieces of information you need to include in a covering letter for a job application:
Name the job you are applying for and where you found out about it. For example, name the newspaper where the ad. appeared and the date when it was printed.
Include some information about yourself. This is not necessary if you are including a CV.
Give the name, address and phone number of two people who will recommend you to the potential employer. It is best if one of these is a personal referee and one is a work referee.
State the times when you will be available for an interview.
Before taking a look at the example letters, here are some useful key phrases to use in your own cover letters.
I am writing to you in response to your advertisement for..........
As you can see from my enclosed resume, my experience and qualifications match this position's requirements.
During .........., I improved (furthered, extended, etc.) my knowledge of..........,
I look forward to an opportunity to speak with you in person. (OR to speak with you personally).
Have a look at the first example.
Below is an example of a covering letter that could be sent without a CV. The arrangement or format of the page should always be the same as this.

Mr. Bob Trimm, Personnel Manager
Importers Inc.
587 Lilly Road
Dear Mr. Trimm,
I am writing to you in response to your advertisement for a Legal Assistant specializing in Port Regulatory Law, which appeared in the Seattle Times on Sunday, June 16. As you can see from my enclosed resume, my experience and qualifications match this position's requirements.
I especially would like to point out that I graduated Cum Laude from The University of Tacoma and was hired directly upon graduation due to my expertise in port authority regulations.
During the four years that I worked for Shoreman and Co., I further deepened my knowledge of the fast changing regulatory laws in our state. My employer also thought highly enough of my abilities to promote me to head legal researcher after my first year of employment.
I look forward to an opportunity to personally discuss the position with you. I will call you within the next five days to arrange an interview.
Sincerely,
Kenneth Beare
