J: If I were you I'd change the beginning. You should write about your education first. 
G: Good idea, Jack. What do you think about the second part? 
J: Now that you've asked me, I think it's too short. You should include much more inFORMation about your work experience. 
G: You're right. I'll change it. How do you feel about the last part of the letter? 
J: Very good. But, unless I miss my guess, you should say something about your family, too. 
G: I agree. I appreciate your helping me, Jack. Do you think the end is all right? 
J: Oh, yes, George. But personally I believe a business letter should end with "Very truly yours", not "Sincerely". 
G: I guess I'd better tear up the letter and start over again. 
J: Oh, don't do that, George! Just make the few changes I suggested, and your letter will be perfect!

Dear Allen, 
[1] I just received your letter and I want to let you know my opinion of your plans for the future. I hope you won't take offense, but will accept what I say here as some fatherly advice. 
[2] I was quite surprised when I read in your letter that you had decided not to finish your studies at the university. I realize that Peter wants you to marry him this summer. But with only one more year to go, you would be well advised to finish. A year is really a short time, and later you will be glad you postponed getting married. 
[3] As you know, my reaction to Peter was extremely favorable when I met him. He's an exceptionally fine young man and should be a good husband. But I suggest you complete your education first. 
[4] You are twenty-one, a grown-up young lady old enough to make up your own mind. This is something you'll have to work out yourself. As your uncle, I have always tried not to interfere in your affairs and I don't intend to begin now. But, my dear niece, please do consider my words very carefully before you decide. Whatever you do, though, Allen, you know I only want one thing for you, and that is your happiness. 
Affectionately, Uncle John 
 well-advised /ill-advised =wise /unwise:ǵ/ 
: You would be well-advised to stay at home today. 
 Dear Mr. Lee: 
[1] Please accept my apology for not meeting you for lunch Tuesday. I had the appointment written on my calendar and was looking forward to the occasion, but somehow I got my days mixed up졽and didn't realize the mistake until now. Please forgive me. I'll call you on Friday to see if we can reschedule°šour luncheon meeting at your convenience㷽ʱ. 
[2] I'm eager to hear about the proposed Stone Project in more detail. 
 Dear Mr. Billet: 
[1] Thank you for reminding us that you will be in town next Wednesday and would like to discuss your printing services with Ms. Smith. 
[2] As Ms. Smith has indicatedʾʾon several previous occasions, we are very pleased with our present arrangements for printing and definitely will not be considering and other services in the foreseeableԤģԤ֪ġfuture. Therefore, Ms. Smith has asked me to tell you that a meeting would not be helpful at this time.
