10 minutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear Mr. Jacob,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The purpose of this is to provide a character reference for Mr. Jeremy Swanson whom I\u00a0 have known as a classmate, roommate, and friend for a period of five years.\u00a0\u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I first met Jeremy in our freshman year at Adirondack College. We were both studying a general arts program there and became acquainted through a number of common classes that we shared. By the second year, we had become friends and decided to share an off-campus apartment together until we both graduated last year. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Accordingly, having gotten to know Jeremy so well over the past few years, I believe,\u00a0 puts me in a position to provide you with a wildly accurate assessment of his character.\u00a0\u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As a student, Jeremy was hard-working and highly committed to his education. I believe that his excellent transcripts will attest to that fact. In addition, he was quite involved in a\u00a0 number of extra-curricular activities including the track and field team and the school newspaper. In fact, in his last two years, he was Assistant Editor of the “Campus\u00a0 Inquirer.” Outgoing, and always willing to help someone out. Jeremy was very popular with his fellow students. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As a roommate, Jeremy was a great choice. He was very neat and tidy at all times and he liked things in the apartment to be kept orderly. He made a point of cleaning his own room and the common living areas on a regular basis. He socialized occasionally at home but was always respectful of my needs, and he and his guests kept the noise down and ended their activities at a reasonable hour. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As a friend, Jeremy Swanson is a standout. He is a loyal, honest, considerate, and supportive individual who has the ability to see and understand things from another person’s perspective. He is a great direct communicator and knows how to raise and discuss common living issues and problems in a non-threatening manner. He is hyper-sensitive and is always tuned into how another person might “feel” in a given situation.\u00a0 He likes to have fun too. During our years at school we maintained an ongoing friendly rivalry on the squash courts. \u2028\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To tell the truth, I really can’t think of anything of consequence on the negative side of the personality ledger when it comes to Jeremy. All in all, I would have to say that\u00a0 Jeremy Swanson is a fine, well-balanced person with an abundance of positive qualities.<\/span><\/p>\n Sincerely,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Charles Farmington\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choose the best answer from the given multiple\u00a0 choice questions:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n 1.

Choose the best answer from the given\u00a0 multiple choice questions:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Dear Charles,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for all the details you were able to include in your letter. I must say, Jeremy and you 7. (must have been friends for at least a decade\/must be close\/were very active in school\/were men of good character).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I am just concerned since our work would mostly be regarding calculations and 8. (an arts background\/a sports background\/a decent personality\/co-curricular activities) might not be of\u00a0 that much use to us; however, if he is 9. (as athletic\/as emotionally intelligent\/as active\/as committed) as you say he is, we can probably work with him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Oddly enough, there will be situations where he will need to deal with difficult customers and I\u00a0 believe 10. (his communication style\/his honesty\/his ability to be popular\/his nonconfrontational style) will take him a long way in steering those conversations in the right direction. That coupled with his 11. (introverted\/extroverted\/calm\/assertive) nature will help him shine at the reception desk, when needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks again, and I will keep you posted on this application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sincerely,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jacob<\/span><\/p>\n CELPIP ALL INCLUSIVE 10+ Course! 15 Hours!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
