Section B

You should spend about one hour on this section.

10. Imagine that your best friend is jealous because his or her younger brother or sister has
been offered an excellent job. Your friend, however, who really wants a job, has not
managed to get one.

l explain what jealousy is/give examples of it

l talk about the dangers of jealousy and

l give advice about what he or she should do to feel better.

Use your own words as far as possible. You will lose marks for direct copying.

Do not write more than 220 words in the main body of your letter.
