8. Read the letter and decide which answer ('a', 'b', 'c' or 'd')

on page 52 best fits each space (1-10).

I am writing to you because I would like to become a journalist

when I leave (1) school. Since you are the editor of the local newspaper, I was hoping that you might be able to give me some advice about what I should do. I have written some articles in (2) my spare time and I am enclosing two of them. I hope that you won't mind looking at them and telling me whether you think they are good or not. I would appreciate (3) any comments you make because I am keen to learn. I also wonder if you could advise (4) me about a few other matters. Do you think it is better to do a course (5) in journalism at a college or to try to get a job as a junior reporter as soon as I finish school? Do newspapers prefer to employ (6) people with a qualification in journalism or to train them while (7) they are actually doing the job?

Another question I would like to ask is, would you advise me to

specialize in (8) one kind of reporting, such as politics, or is it advisable to know a little bit about a lot of subjects?

I am sure that you are very busy but I would be grateful to (9) any advice you could give me. Finally (10), would it be possible to come into the newspaper officers one day so that I could see how a real newspaper operates? I would welcome the opportunity to do that.
