[01:40.02]George: Good! I'm interested in your advice.

[01:45.27]Jack: I think you should write about your education first.

[01:51.05]George: Good idea,Jack. What do you think of the second part?

[01:57.39]Jack: I think it's too short.

[02:01.65]You should include much more in-formation about your work experience.

[02:08.00]George: You are right. I'll revise it.

[02:14.06]B.Do you Think the End Is All Right?

[02:20.90]Now,George and Jack are discussing the last part of the application letter.

[02:42.19]Jack: The last part is very good.

[02:46.95]But perhaps you should say something about your family,too.

[02:52.51]George: I agree. I appreciate your help,Jack. Do you think the end is all right?

[03:00.87]Jack: Oh,yes,George. But you'd better and the letter with "sincerely",

[03:08.73]not "Very truly yours."

[03:12.99]George: I guess I should tear up the letter and start over again.

[03:19.44]Jack: Oh,don't do that,George!

[03:23.81]Just make the few changes and your letter will be perfect.

[03:29.37]George: Thank you very much indeed,Jack.
