[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.

[02:46.95]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.
