on the hiring manager. It should not be more than one page long.

It should be single spaced. Use about 1 inch margin and align your text to the left.

The font size should be between 10 and 12 points.

Begin the letter by stating what job you are applying for, for example,

Explain how you heard about the job, especially if you heard about it from

someone associated with the company.

Go on to briefly mention how your experience and skills match the position you

Also explain how you meet the qualifications stated in the job advertisement.

Close the letter by restating how your skills make you fit for the position in the

company. Thank the employer for her/his consideration.

Speech Work Pronunciation practice: Put stress on the right Syllables

Syllable are words that can be broken down into simpler ones

 

 

 

 

 

The simplest type of syllable is just a vowel sound. Examples are:

are /aː/, eye /aɪ/, owe /əʊ/, awe /ɔː/, ear /ɪə/, air /eə/. All these words have one

syllable and the syllable is just one vowel sound.

A syllable can have consonant (C) sounds before the vowel (V), after the vowel, or

before and after the vowel. Here are some examples.

(Each of the words has one syllable.).

 

 ENGLISH LANGUAGE PRIMARY SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Some syllables have two or more consonants before the vowel,

after the vowel, or before and after the vowel. Here are some examples.

(Each word has one syllable.)







Usually, the number of syllables in a word is the same as the number of vowel sounds – not the number of vowel letters.








Examples:

1. moved (2 vowel letters (o, e) but only 1 vowel sound /muːvd/, so only one syllable)

2. Deborah (3 vowel letters (e, o, a) but only 2 vowel sounds /debrə/, so only

two syllables)

3 comfortable (4 vowel letters (o, o, a, e) but only 3 vowel sounds /kʌmftəbəl/,

so only three syllables)

Remember that the sounds /l/, /m/, and /n/ can be syllables together with

other consonants, but with no vowel sound.

Examples:

1. Couple (2 syllables – /kʌ + pl/)

2. Button (2 syllables – /bʌ + tn/)

3. Tourism (3 syllables – /tʊə + rɪ + zm/)

Structure: More constructions with clauses Using, ‘when’ ‘who’ ‘which’ ‘where’

Relative and interrogative pronouns

Use ‘who’, ‘which’ or ‘that’ to say which person, animal,

or thing you are referring to, or to describe them.

Eamples:

1 I have a brother who is a mechanic?

2 Achebe is someone who writes great novels.

3 Do you know who she is?

4 HIV is the condition that (or which) produces AIDS.

5 The cheetah is the animal that (or which) runs the fastest.

Use ‘what’ to refer to things or places.

Examples:

1 Tell me what happened.

2 What’s the capital of Nigeria?

Also use what to ask for a description.

Example: What is Abuja like?

Use ‘where’ to refer to a place.

Example: Aba is the city where there is a big market.

Use ‘when’ or ‘that’ to refer to time.

Example: I remember the first day when/that I went to school.

Grammar: Word formation adjective formed from Noun

Making adjectives from nouns

We can add a variety of endings to some nouns to make adjectives. Examples:

1 noun + ‘-less’: harmless, careless

2 noun + ‘-ous’: famous, dangerous

3 noun + ‘-ful’: successful, careful

When the noun ends in ‘y’, change ‘y’ to ‘i’: beautiful.

Be careful! Some words ending in ‘-ful’ are nouns: a teaspoonful of sugar.

We can add –able/-ible or –ive to some nouns or verbs to make adjectives:

1 noun or verb + ‘-able’: breakable, enjoyable

2 noun or verb + ‘-ible’: sensible, horrible (from ‘horror’)

3 noun or verb + ‘-ive’: expensive, creative

Evaluation:-

The spelling changes if you change the order of sounds in these one-syllable

words from CV to VC. Write out the new words.

Example: CV VC

/seɪ/ = say /eɪs/ = ace

1 /təʊ/ = ___________ /əʊt/ = oat

2 /fəʊ/ = ___________ /əʊf/ = oaf

3 /leɪ/ = ___________ /eɪl/ = ail

4 /kaː/ = car  /aːk/ = ___________

5 /laɪ/ = lie /aɪl/ = ___________

6 /kiː/ = ___________ /iːk/ = eke

Add ‘who’, ‘which’, ‘that’, ‘what’, ‘where’ or ‘when’ in the gaps.

A: _______ is Old Oyo National Park?

B: The Park is in northern Oyo State and part of southern Kwara State.
