Friendship is one of the most precious presents of life. Friendship makes life, sweet and pleasant experience. Friendship is indeed, an asset in life.

Friendship is good and necessary. Man cannot live all alone because he is a social being. He needs someone to share his joys and sorrows. There goes a saying “Friendship increases happiness and diminishes misery by doubling our joy and dividing our grief”.

Friendship can make or break us. It all depends on how we choose our friends. We spent much of our time with them. Their mental outlook, behaviour, attitudes affect us too. Today, many youngsters have become social nuisance mainly due to bad friends. Therefore, we have to choose our friends very carefully. We have to remember the maxim “All that glitters is not gold”. We have to distinguish between fair-weather friends and true friends. True friends remain with us through thick and thin while fair-weather friends are found only during sunny days.

True friendship is a feeling of love, sharing and caring. It is a feeling that someone understands and appreciates you as you are, without any flattery. It gives a feeling that you are ‘wanted’ and that you are ‘someone’ and not a faceless being in the crowd. True friendship knows no boundaries of caste, creed, race and sex.

Good friends are great pillars of life. A person who has true friends in life is lucky enough. It does not matter how often you meet your friends, but how much you care and feel for another in good times as well as in bad times.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.

A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of an application is to attract an employer’s attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job.

Like a resume, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with prefessional care, it is likely to be very effective. While the resume must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company.

The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be modest. It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It should never express dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you should avoid discussing your reasons for leaving your last job.

Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them “negotiable.” However, when you go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this reason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don’t want to ask for less than you deserve or more than is reasonable.
