ENGLISH TEST XI IPA OCTOBER 2019

Dear Dania Rahmawati,

Thanks for sending your letter to our “Motivation Column” about how to be successful in a job interview. Herewith, I suggest some points to prepare your interview.

· You have to answer questions from an interviewer politely and comprehensively. You should also prepare some questions because you have a chance to ask him or her questions. You should be ready to bring a small notebook. It helps to give the impression that you are very interested in what the interviewer is saying.

· When an interviewer asks questions about your weaknesses, you should be honest about weaknesses that will not have a bad impact on the job. You should let the interviewer know about your plans to overcome the weaknesses. It gives the impression that you want to learn and grow in your job.

· Preparation is very important so you should practice the interview in advance.

Good luck with your job interview.

Dear Mr Ahmad,

I am so glad and proud of the successful monitoring programme in our neighbourhood. Thanks to all members of the committee for their hard work. This programme has proved to be effective in reducing the number of crimes at night. However, I think we still have a basic problem. am still worried about robbery committed during the day when people are away at work. Three houses n our neighbourhood were reportedly robbed last week.

I suggest we discuss this crucial problem at our next committee meeting. I do hope we can find some practical solutions. I believe if we work together, we can find a workable answer.

Best regards,

Dimas Wardhana

Dear Mrs. Angela,

We appreciate your ideas about the money we earned from our fund-raising programme. I myself admit that your ideas are certainly very good. However, the committee has already decided for what purposes the money should be used. If you had proposed your ideas earlier, we would have certainly adopted them. We are happy to let you know that the remaining money (if any) will go to poor families, just as you propose.

We would like to thank you for taking time to think about our community care programme.

Sincerely,

Sudrajat Manik

Chairman of the Committee

Question : Why does the chairman of the committee reject Mrs Angela’s suggestion ?

• Because the community care is a non-profit programme.

• Because the committee had made its decision before Mrs Angela came up with her ideas.

• Because the suggestion does not make sense.

• Because Mrs Angela is not part of the committee.
