ANSWERED DOCUMENT!!!! TRANSACTIONAL LETTER

Dear Sir or Madam: I am writing to correct the information in an article in your newspaper, dated November 10th, about foreign students working on a local farm. I worked at the farm all summer and I enjoyed myself very much and made many good friends.

There were only 15 of us, not 30 as you said, and we came from many different countries. Moreover, we only worked in the mornings and we had the weekends off, so we had plenty of time to go sightseeing and relax. In addition, we were paid adequately—not much but enough, considering we had free food and accommodation.

Our living accommodation was excellent. The farmer, Mr Stevens, had built modern, wooden cabins with good washing facilities—there were enough showers for us and everything was spotlessly clean. I should know, as I helped to clean them every day. I would be happy to go back and work for them again, and I know my friends would as well. There was a wonderful atmosphere and we had a great time.

Yours faithfully,

COLLOCATIONS DICTIONARY!

**Centre for languages and applied linguistics sets the WikiFCE to help you solve learning problems and share with thoughts with the community online.** Taking a standardised test is a big step for which we are here to back you up.

There are some very good reasons to take these tests, however. In some cases, not passing them is just as useful as passing them. A standardized test measures more than your aptitude at the subjects included on the tests. In fact, it measures several of the very important skills that every college student needs to succeed in the academic world.



A standardised test also measures your ability to, not surprisingly, take tests. This is actually another skill you’ll need in the academic world. After taking a few of these exams, you’ll probably start to develop skills that make it much easier. You’ll learn how to budget time for each question, how to make an educated guess when you don’t actually know the answer to a question and how to calm yourself down when you hit a wall. If you plan on going into an advanced program, such as med school or law school, taking tests is something you’ll have to get used to.

Taking a standardised test can be a good way to learn about your own strengths and weaknesses, as well. If you fail an entrance exam, don’t get the idea that you’ve been completely rejected from the academic world. Every failure can be a learning experience and, if you have a constructive attitude toward testing, you may find that the skills you develop from taking tests will translate to other parts of life. The standardized test method of measuring knowledge and skill is not perfect, but it certainly does have some advantages to it and you can learn from the experience.
