★世界上最完美的对话之一
G: Jack, would you please read this letter of application I ve just written? I d like to have
your opinion.
J: I d be glad to tell you what I think.
G: If you don t think it s any good, please say so. I really want to get this job.
J: It looks fine to me. But I have one suggestion.
G: Good! I m interested in your advice.
J: If I were you I d change the beginning. You should write about your education first.
G: Good idea, Jack. What do you think about the second part?
J: Now that you ve asked me, I think it s too short. You should include much more
information about your work experience.
G: You re right. I ll change it. How do you feel about the last part of the letter?
J: Very good. But, unless I miss my guess, you should say something about your family,
too.
G: I agree. I appreciate your helping me, Jack. Do you think the end is all right?
J: Oh, yes, George. But personally I believe a business letter should end with "Very truly
yours", not "Sincerely".
G: I guess I d better tear up the letter and start over again.
J: Oh, don t do that, George! Just make the few changes I suggested, and your letter will
be perfect!
