Task 2. Read the job application. Is it good enough? Is there anything that could be changed to make the application more competitive than others?

Hi!

I’d like to apply for a job I saw in a newspaper the other day. I’ve got loads of experience working with computers and I’m really good at sorting out network problems and stuff. I’m not bad in working with teams and I’m a really good talker. Have a look at my resume which I’ve put in the same envelope.

If you want, call me or something.

Cheers,

Danny

Many children first learn the __________________ by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family. Timing is another consideration. Some children get a weekly allowance. Others get a monthly allowance. In any case, parents should ­­­­­­­­_____________ what, if anything, the child is expected to pay ______ with the money. At first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done _________________. Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a budget ____________ choices between spending and saving. Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or electronics. Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work _____________________, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good cause. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save and maybe even ______________. Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to ____________ and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance. A ____________________is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest. Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot. But over time it ___________.
