Dear Dr. Smith:

I am writing to express my interest in the fourth grade instructional position that is
currently available in the Fort Wayne Community School System. I learned of the
opening through a notice posted on JobZone, IPFW’s job database. I am confident that
my academic background and curriculum development skills would be successfully
utilized in this teaching position.
I have just completed my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and have
successfully completed Praxis I and Praxis II. During my student teaching experience, I
developed and initiated a three-week curriculum sequence on animal species and earth
resources. This collaborative unit involved working with three other third grade teachers
within my team, and culminated in a field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo Animal Research
Unit.
In my work with the third grade classes, I stressed critical thinking and the
incorporation of mathematical and science units into the course. The student response
was very encouraging, as we had a 100% passing rate for this section. In addition, our
team met state curricula guidelines and received numerous positive comments from
students’ families regarding the class material. Both my cooperating teacher and my
supervisor from the teacher preparation program complimented me on my enthusiastic
classroom presentations.
Please consider this résumé and the completed application form as an expression of my
sincere interest in pursuing any fourth grade vacancies that may arise in your district.
I am confident that as a teacher in your school system, I can create a productive learning
environment that is student-centered. I welcome the opportunity to discuss with you in

Read the following news and then answer questions number 13 to 15.
Cardiovascular disease, not cancer, is the greatest mortality risk for smoking, causing about
48% of smoking-related premature deaths.

While the percentage of adults in the UK who smoked had been falling, the proportion of
people who smoked one to five cigarettes a day had been rising steadily, researchers said.

Their analysis of 141 studies, published in the BMJ, indicates a 20-a-day habit would cause
seven heart attacks or strokes in a group of 100 middle-aged people.

But if they drastically cut back to one a day it would still cause three heart attacks, the research
suggests.

The researchers said men who smoked one cigarette a day had about a 48% higher risk of
developing coronary heart disease and were 25% more likely to have a stroke than those who
had never smoked.

For women, it was higher - 57% for heart disease and 31% for stroke.

Questions number 37 to 40 are based on this following dialog.

Covid-19: Five Ways To Avoid Catching The Virus Indoors

For months we've been told to wash our hands and maintain social distancing to beat
coronavirus. But scientists and engineers say we also need to think about the air we breathe, as
children go back to school and more people return to offices. Good ventilation matters in five
ways.

1. If it's stuffy, walk away

When you walk into a room and the air feels stale, something is wrong with the ventilation. Not
enough fresh air is being introduced, which increases your chances of getting infected by
coronavirus. Recent research shows that in confined spaces there can be "airborne transmission"
of the virus - with tiny virus particles lingering in the air. So if a place seems stuffy, just turn
around and leave. It’s vital to have a flow of clean air.

2. Look up at the air conditioning

From offices to shops, air conditioning is welcome on hot days - but check the type of unit. The
simplest is a slender white box mounted on walls or ceilings, known as a split air conditioner.
This draws in air from a room, chills it and then blows it back out again. In other words, it's
recirculating the air. This is no problem for a quick visit but may be a risk over a period of
hours.

3. Ask about the 'fresh air ratio'

In a modern building where the windows are sealed, how can you get enough fresh air? You're
relying on a ventilation system in which stale air is extracted from the rooms and piped to an air
handling unit, often on the roof. There, fresh air can be pulled in from outside and mixed with
the old inside air, before being sent back into the building. Given the risk of coronavirus
infection, the professional advice is to maximise the fresh supply. The more fresh the air, the
less you're running the risk of recirculating the virus through the building.

4. Check if there's virus in the filters

A modern ventilation system will have filters but these are not fool-proof. If the filters had been
checked more frequently, the presence of the virus might have been spotted sooner.

5. Watch out for draughts

The benefits of plentiful fresh air diluting the virus will outweigh any risks. An open window
might lead to more people receiving the virus but in smaller, less risky amounts.
It's no surprise there are disagreements - there's a lot we still don't know about the virus. But the
air we breathe is bound to be part of any effort to make buildings safer.
