From: Elliot
Subject: Careers Day

Hi Tom,
I’m writing to tell you about Careers Day that our school is planning. It sounds really good.
In the morning, we’re going to look at qualifications that are needed to do certain jobs. Then,
first thing in the afternoon, they’re going to give us advice on how to gain 4
so that potential employers will know they can trust us enough to give us a permanent job.
In class, we looked at some data on careers chosen by a group of students at two different
ages. The only profession that people felt the same way about at both ages was
5
. We also learned that people want their dream job when they’re younger
because they tend to be more 6 then. As we get older, we start to focus on
7
professions, like construction, which isn’t bad, of course.
Anyway, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Elliot

different 1 of view. Usually, there’s a topic for debate in the form of a
statement, 2 as: It’s cruel to keep animals as pets. One person agrees

this statement while the other disagrees. Each person presents their
arguments to the audience and the one who gains the most votes wins the debate.
In order to take 4 in a debate, it’s important to understand both

of an argument. You need to be able to predict the arguments that your
opponent is going to make so that you can argue against them. Traditionally, debating societies
have been good training grounds for students who have gone on to study law or politics.
