You recently received a letter from a friend asking for advice about whether to go to college or to 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 Niloo,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. It was great to hear from you, and I’m glad you reached out to me for advice. I understand that it’s a difficult decision to make whether to continue your studies or find a job. Linking Words
However
, I believe it’s better for you to try to get a job, and I would like to explain the reasons why.
Linking Words
Firstly
, as I know you personally, you always like to work and improve your career. Linking Words
Moreover
, going to college, especially an Iranian college, wouldn’t be beneficial for you because you would only meet people who are around your age and speak the same language. Linking Words
Consequently
, it would not be good for your language development.

Furthermore
, if you enter the business world, you will gain valuable experience that will build your resume and enhance your skills for future employment. Linking Words
Additionally
, being employed by someone would be the best option because you can learn on the go.
In fact, I would recommend you work in a big retail store as a salesperson or perhaps join a small company that serves customers directly. Linking Words
This
makes sense as it would be easier to find a job in your city, and you would learn more about the business environment closely.
I hope my suggestion will help you decide what is best for you.
Best regards,
ArmitaLinking Words
