Activity 4: Skill Building

My brother Jaime has been applying for full-time jobs in several months. Last week he received a call
from the Human Resources Director at computer software. The company director asked my brother
Jaime if he could fly to Manila for a job interview. He will not have to pay for himself because the
company offered him a free ticket to Chicago. My brother Jaime happily agreed to come for the
interview. Then, Jaime has been busy preparing himself for the interview. He also went to the shopping
malls to buy a new suite. Jaime is nervous about his interview, but he's looking forward to work in a new
place and I know he will do his best to achieve this opportunity.

writing essays can be easy. There will be a lot of writing in college, and most of the writing will
be in the form of an essay. With practice, exposure, and
supervision,There are a few things we need to know about essays. An essay is a focused written
composition, usually from the author’s point of view. It is non-fictional and informative but can also
include narrative. It is usually short – about 500 words. Examples are essays on political issues,
literature reviews, daily life, memories, and reflections. The basic structure is the 5-paragraph essay –
introduction (presenting the thesis statement/claim), two-three body paragraphs (each presenting
evidence to support the claim), and a conclusion (a retelling of the thesis and summary of the main
points). This is not a rule – just a structure for beginners in essay writing. Academic essays are usually
longer (2,000 – 5,000 words) and more formal than literary essays. Academic essays are logical and
factual, and the use of first-person is often discouraged. There are different types of essays:
Descriptive essays – gives details that allow the reader to create a mental picture of a person, place,
object, or event. Narrative essays use a retelling of events to talk about the change or development of
a person. Compare and contrast essays show the similarities and differences between two or more
things. Persuasive essays try to convince the reader to accept an idea. Knowing what an essay is, the
elements, and the format makes writing essays less intimidating and very doable.
