Write a letter to a friend who will come to your country to work for 6 months. In your letter, you should: •recommend a city •suggest a few jobs that your friend could do •give some opinions about making friends with the locals.

Hello John. I think I could help you find a job. Firstly you should know, which city you prefer. In my opinion, the best city in my country for you could be Astana or Almaty because in these cities a lot of different jobs. In Astana, you can work as a courier or a tutor. Courier has a lot of different advantages for instance big salary without experience. Tutor has advantages too, for example, working online or a big salary also. Nevertheless, Almaty has the same jobs as you. If you are a good worker you will have a good salary for the first time. Additionally, you won't have a problem with housing due to in Astana a lot of houses which you can rent. You can rent any house that you want at a low price. And not a small important factor that you will need a friend, but I know that you are a funny boy so I believe that it's not a problem for you. To sum up I believe that you can come here without any problem with a job or friends. My advice to you is just to believe in yourself. Good ...
