vitae.
I recently did my graduation in the medicine course and I am very anxious to start
working. I believe that your company is the right one to do it. Since I was a little boy I
was very fascinated by health, and I hope you can help fulfil that dream.
I hope you to consider my summer jobs as waiter, and my forever interest in

Sincerely,

6. The World @ Work
As the name says, this unit was entirely related to work, and it helped me
understand better the world at work and the work in the world. First of all, it told me
that working is not all about making money, it’s about having fun while at work, enjoy
what we are doing, or else we will be sad for the rest of our lives. It also helped me
prepare for my future job because I learned how to make a proper interview, how to
speak in it and how to prepare for it.
I can also say that I know more about social and work discrimination and that we
should be in a society were men and women are equal in rights and duties. And finally,
we should never give up on our dreams because with will power we can achieve
anything and accomplish success! I want, I will, I can!
