Dear Sir/Blake

I’m writing in response to your advert. I would like to apply for the position of lifeguard.

I have always enjoyed being in the swimming pool or in the beach because I love water and swimming there. When I was little, I had done a swimming course for many years. In order to be able to swim 50 metres in 40 seconds, this year I joined  a diving course.

I am 17 years old, the necessary age. I feel I am well suited because I am reliable and I am very dedicated to the job that I am working. I have a course of first aid so I am able to respond quickly in emergencies. Also, last summer I was a lifeguard in swimming pool of a hotel, so I have experience. I am not very punctual but I will try to be that.

I hope you will consider my application favourably. I need this job because next year I will go to university to study medicine and I want to help my parents to pay the register. I have enclosed my CV and I would be happy to attend an interview at a time that is convenient for you.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours faithfully,

Arnau Galan

A For and Against Essay

MONEY CAN BUY HAPPINESS?

Nowadays, sometimes we listen to people with low and normal salary that say that if they had more money they would be more happy. Is that true?

On the one hand we can see that having a lot of money has got a lot of advantages. Fist of all money lets you many possibilities: with money you can buy all that you want and that is an important advantage. Continuing about this advantage, money lets you achieve your life's dream such as going to the moon, have a Ferrari, etc. Moreover money brings you a lot of opportunities such as travel to many countries, live some experiences and meet a lot of people.

Although, money sometimes brings problems. On the other hand we can see that money has a lot of disadvantages. If we go to the past we see that kings and queens, the most of kings hadn't got a happy life because always were in wars or they married with the person that they didn't love. Nowadays, there are problems about money too. Some families , when an important person of their family dies, they have problems about how he wanted to bring his money and that makes some family's person angry. Another example that money doesn't bring you happiness is for example when you are rich and you have a lot of friends. Friends sometimes are with you because you are wealthy and they don't love. They aren't real friends. Also if you have money you can buy a lot of things. But I'm sure that a person when he buy all that he wants, he becomes bored and he doesn't know what to buy more.

In conclusion we can see that money doesn't bring happiness, happiness is when you have a family and friends that love you.
