WRITE YOUR MAIL HERE (APPROXIMATELY 70 – 120 WORDS)

From: Mr. Kim

To: Jay Jackson

Subject: Confirmation

Dear Jay Jackson,

I had already checked all the updated information that you provided me of my conference event and the date and location are the correct data I confirmed last week. But due to the number of assistants I have been confirmed the last couple of days, I might need to ask you if there is another conference center available in your Hotel.

Talking about the technical requirements at every hall, I will need you to install 2 extra monitors to project my presentation. It won´t be enough with the speaker at the back of the room. On the other hand, I think it could be useful and more comfortable to provide the assistants some coffee or probably hot teas instead of just water. So, please make the modification on the previous banquet service.

I hope there won’t be any trouble with the changes.

Your Sincerely

Mr.Kim

Question 5: Writing an Opinion Essay

WRITE YOUR ESSAY HERE (APPROXIMATELY 300 WORDS) Age limit: Discrimination or Necessity? Nowadays companies are stablishing an age limit for most of their open positions. This is Mexico’s case, since Mexico has a population of 122.3 million people, there are not enough jobs to cover the demand for which it is necessary to stablish an age limit. On the other hand, let’s take a look to first world countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, where the offer of jobs is greater that the demand. This is why in some countries jobs are inherited because of the lack of applicants. In my opinion this situation is discrimination because the age of a person is not a fact to consider if a person is able to perform a job or an activity. Companies should take in a consideration the experience that a person has doing something and should focus on the skills and abilities of every single person. Having very young people can be considered as an important strategy since younger people are the future of the world we are living but it can also be dangerous because as I mentioned before the years of experience and every single obstacle that older people have faced are important facts to consider if a company wants to succeed in their business. I consider that the best way to avoid discrimination and obtain good result in a company is to stablish an age limit according to the position, for example analyst positions should be considered for people between 20 to 25 years old, supervisor positions for people between 26 to 35 years old and managerial positions for people between 35 to 50 years old while people over 50 years old should be considered for the highest levels in a company because all of the experienced they have gained across their professional paths.
