Dear Jenny,
Sorry I didn't answer your last letter. If I realised how serious the situation was, I would have written to you straight away. You obviously need my advice. I only wish to be with you now to help you. I think it's about time you left your job and started to look for a new one. If your boss insists on treating you so unfairly, then you have very little choice. You say that you'd rather have a job you hate than no job at all, but is that really true? If you were worried about money, don't be. You can come home and live with wour father and me for a while. I'd rather you lived nearer home anyway. Your old boss at the library, Mr.Green, say you could have your old job back if you want it. You could have been Head Librarian by now if you hadn't left ! Anyway, I'll let you know if I hear about any other suitable jobs. Take care and let me know if you make any decisions.
Love, Mum

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to talk to you about how to make a good first impression in a job interview. I will talk about why this is important; things someone can do to help create that perfect ‘first impression’; how to leave the interviewer with a good ‘last impression’ and finally I will wish the success for a job searcher.In a professional situation, first impressions are extremely important. If for example, someone is attending a job interview, he needs to create a good impression as soon as he meets the interviewer. That way the employer is more likely to want to offer him the job.
There are many things a candidate can do to help create the best possible impression. For example, being on time! If someone has an appointment, it is important to arrive a few minutes early so that the meeting can start exactly on time. He should make sure he is appropriately dressed. If it is a job interview, it is a good idea to dress smartly. It will help a candidate to feel confident and will make him look more professional. He should also make sure that he is clean and well presented, he should not smell of cigarette smoke. Finally, the candidate must make sure that he does not have anything caught between his teeth! He should look in a mirror before he goes in to make sure he looks OK.The smile helps a candidate to relax and will make him look friendly. In many cultures, it is important to make eye contact with the other person – but a candidate should not stare as it might uncomfortable for the interviewer! For a job interview, it is usual to shake hands. A candidate might want to practice doing this so it will feel natural to him. He should wait for the interviewer to ask him to sit down. When he sits down, he should try to look confident and relaxed, sit back on the chair and thank the interviewers for inviting him in to talk to them. He must not slouch and look too relaxed, but also he should not perch on the front of the seat either – this way, the candidate will look uncomfortable and it will make his interviewers feel uncomfortable too!A candidate will also create a good impression at an interview if he has prepared thoroughly for the meeting. He must ensure that he has researched the job and the company. He must be clear about what he can offer them and why he would be good at the job.When he answers questions, he should try to be positive and enthusiastic as well as friendly. He needs to show his personality as well as his skills. At the end of the interview, he needs to think about the last impression he makes on the employer. That way, they will remember the candidate more positively. The candidate should thank the person for seeing him, then stand up, shake hands again and smile as he leaves the room. The candidate wants the interviewer to think as he leaves- ‘what a lovely candidate, I would like him to come and work with me!’I hope if a candidate follows this advice it will help him to form a good impression at interviews when he meets people for the first time in a formal environment.

Sự thèm muốn đồ ăn: Tất cả ở trong não của bạn
Chúng tôi đã có mặt ở đó. Đó là vào lúc 3 giờ và bạn đang làm việc. Khi bạn ngồi ở bàn, một sự thèm muốn mạnh mẽ về sô-cô-la. Bạn cố gắng làm chính mình bận rộn để điều đó biến mất. Nhưng điều đó không thể được. Thực tế, bạn càng cố gắng để không nghĩ về một miếng sô-cô-la đen đang tan chảy trong miệng của bạn, thì bạn càng muốn nó. Bạn thậm chí còn có thể ngửi thấy nó!
Đây là một tình huống khác. Có lẽ bạn đang cảm thấy không tốt. Bạn đang bị cảm lạnh và cảm thấy tụt dốc.Thứ duy nhất bạn muốn là ăn thật nhiều, một tô súp gà, như mẹ của bạn của bạn đã từng làm khi bạn bị ốm vào lúc nhỏ.
Thèm ăn là sự mong muốn mạnh mẽ đối với một loại thực phẩm cụ thể. Và chúng vô cùng bình thường. Hầu hết mọi người đều trải qua chúng mặc dù những gì chúng ta khao khát có thể khác nhau. Một người có thể khao khát một thanh sô cô la ngọt ngào, trong khi một người khác có thể ao ước món khoai tây chiên mặn.
