Задание 3. Read the text about a cover letter and fulfill the exercise after it. What is a cover letter? A cover letter is a document sent alongside your CV when applying for jobs. It acts as a personal introduction and helps to sell your application. A cover letter is necessary as it gives you the chance to explain to an employer why you are the best candidate for the job. You do this by highlighting relevant skills and experience; therefore, you should always write your cover letter with the position you are applying for in mind. Cover letters should complement your CV but not duplicate it. The general consensus among recruiters when it comes to the length of these documents is the shorter the better. Typically, three to five short paragraphs, cover letters should not exceed one A4 page. If sending electronically, put the text in the body of the email rather than as an attachment, to avoid it being detected by spam filters. Applications should always include a cover letter unless the job advert instructs you differently.

Match the synonyms from two columns. 1. paragraph a. show 2. brief b. answer 3. candidate c. highlight 4. specific d. abstract 5. indicate e. job 6. response f. concise 7. duplicate g. applicant 8. consensus h. copy 9. emphasize i. definite 10.work j. agreement
