TOPIC: Work experience week: You chose to work at a law firm.

Dear [friend's name],

Hi! How are you? Sorry I haven't been in touch lately but I've been drowning in schoolwork. How was your football match? I bet you took everyone's breath away!

Believe it or not, last week my school organized a work experience week for my class. Of course, I chose to go to a law firm. As you know, I've always wanted to become a lawyer so I jumped at the opportunity!

To be honest with you, I expected to do more exciting things like go to court and watch the firm's employees defend a victim but that never happened... I spent most of my time in the office organising papers and entering data on the computer. It was all so boring that it made me wonder whether I should go ahead and study law in the first place! What do you think? I want to follow a career that is exciting and full of adventure! What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Well, go to go now. It's time for dinner and I still need to finish off my homework for tomorrow. Write back soon and fill me in on your news.

Love,

[Your name]
