Re: Shall I write my name and address at the top right side of my Motivation Letter..?

Hi,

Send an application letter, for a job I presume, that begins with 'To whom it may concern'? Surely you jest! [:D]

For reasons that escape me, many of our learners here on the Forum seem endlessly fascinated with the idea of writing letters that start with 'To whom it may concern'.

A search will find a great deal of discussion about this, with many people telling them again and again about how rarely and in what special and uncommon circumstances this phrase is used.

Best wishes, Clive

Re: Correct order of professional titles after name

Clive — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 19:56:10 GMT

Hi,

I have a BSC (hons) degree and a SAC Dip, the degree was first then the diploma but I am in the process of joining goverening bodies for my profession. I am wondering what order do i need to write these titles in and also do i use the titles when filling in forms such as a passport or job application or do i just use them when writing letters. I am confused and cannot find any where online that provides the information.

The principle of 'lowest first, highest last' was suggested earlier in this thread.

I am currently renewing my passport, and I can tell you that, at least in Canada, educational information is not asked for.

For a job application, in my experience, educational qualifications are dealt with on one's resume/CV.

Generally speaking, people don't seem to list such things after their name when writing letters, with the occasional exceptuion of a doctorate. I guess it woud ultimately depend on what type of letter you are writing, and to whom.

Again generally speaking, such things are more commonly mentioned if you work in an academic setting.

Best wishes, Clive

I like your essay. Your thinking is clear and your writing is quite clear too.but you need to be more specific in some points.

The main point of Araby, The Things They Carried and A&P is men' s feelings of love. They are all in the world of fantasy of romance that incites them to hasty acts and lead away from actuality. However, they undergo the collapse of imaginations that play in their heads because of collision of such fantasies with cruel reality. Love is a beautiful feeling to which we open our hearts and souls to the people whom we have deep feeling for[I like this sentence]. In the three readings, each character experiences different type of love that involves into deep thoughts about themselves and their life.

The theme of Araby is about an innocent love. The main character of the story is a young boy who displays signs of adolescent love towards a young girl that[who] lives in the same building. This is a perfect setting for romance to seed and nourish. The boy demonstrates his attraction to the young girl next door by waiting for her day after day and daydreaming about her. "Every morning I lay on the floor in the front parlour watching her door... When she came out on the doorstep my heart leaped. I ran to the hall, seized my books and followed her. I kept her brown figure always in my eye...â. This is a good explanation of first love because for the first time young person doesnât control feeling.He [the boy] just feels what he feels and does what his feelings tell him to do.
This love is going from a heart not from a head. The boy also has uncontrollable thoughts on her, he pointed all details; her clothing wrapping around her body, her rope like hair and her soft, smooth neck. Yet, something in the young boy prohibits him from his love to the girl. He waits in the shadows for her from the street; he looks for her from behind the blinds from the safety of his home, he trembles when he thinks about her.

In the other side, on the reading The Things They Carried the author[it doesn't sound right], Tim O'Brien, presents us a platonic love. This love appears in the character Lieutenant Jimmy Cross to a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. An example of this love is: "They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack." So, Jimmy Cross understands that Martha doesnât love him even though she is writing letters to him. The letters weighed ten ounces. They were signed Love, Martha , but Lieutenant Cross understand that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. " Like in Araby in The Things They Carried authors show deep feeling from the men's side and no answer from girls. Jimmy Cross's love for Martha was so strong that she was constantly on his mind and a priority in his life. The daydreaming about Martha is a way that Cross took himself completely away from the war. He could be thousands of miles away on a quiet beach in Jersey as the war raged on around him. Like in Araby this dreaming is escaping from reality, from cruelty to the romance and happiness.
The last story "A&P" related to the others mostly by Sammy' desire to change his life by quitting his job that revealed after he saw girls in bathing suits in the store. Like Jimmy Cross desires to be far away from a war at the beach with Martha and was there in his head, Sammy wants to have another life. Like Jimmy Cross[,] who doesnât know what he is doing in the war, Sammy doesnât know why he is in this store and doing this boring job. The only thing that gives him the courage to quit, is his attraction to Queenie, love makes him strong. Sammyâs entire world consists of the grocery store, which is artificially heated and cooled, and has everything one could ever need in the way of food and many other products. One day, when three girls walk into the store, Sammy is strongly attracted to one of them. " She kept her eyes moving across the racks, and stopped, and turned so slow it made my stomach rub the inside of my apron..." Similar to Arabyâs boy whose heart leaped when he saw young girl Sammyâs Queennie arouses his interest. Later, when the manager warns the girls not to return to the store if they are wearing swimsuits, Sammy tries to come to their rescue by standing up to his boss, and even quits his job for them. In other words, Sammy is, or wants to be, their knight in shining armor--] he wants to rescue his Queen. Like boy in the Araby and Jimmy Cross in A&P [,]Sammy also fells heartache and sorrowful emotions.
In all three stories main characters experience deep feeling and conflict with themselves. Love can be happiness or can destroy if a person is not control his emotions and feelings.
