// We corrected Andrea’s letter // Dear (English-speaking friend) John, I worked part-time for two years in a pub and actually I don't suggest (that) you (should) work as a waiter because /as / since it's  a hard job and underpaid. They pay you really little compared to how much you work, your back will always hurt you and you will always stink of fried food. You will go to work really early and go back home really late, so that you will lose the morning after. So what I can suggest is to finish your studies as soon as possible, focus on them so you'll get the job that you want. Best regards, Andrea
