Subject: Application for Translator Position

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Translator position at Pixma International, which I found on
LinkedIn on November 20, 2024. I am a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature
from the University of Indonesia, and I am eager to apply my translation skills and language proficiency
in a professional setting.

I am highly interested in this position because of my passion for language and my strong interest in the
printing industry. As a fresh graduate, I have had the opportunity to work on various translation projects,
including translating technical manuals and documents. My academic background has provided me with
a solid understanding of both general and technical language, enabling me to deliver accurate
translations that convey complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. I also have experience in email
correspondence with international partners, which has helped me develop a professional
communication style.

I believe that my strong command of both English and Indonesian, along with my ability to translate
technical materials, makes me a perfect fit for this role. I am confident that I can contribute positively to
Pixma International’s team and help facilitate communication with your global partners.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I am looking forward to the possibility of discussing
how my skills and experiences align with the needs of your company. Please feel free to contact me at

Manager A: Good morning. I appreciate you taking the time to discuss the pricing on this bulk order.
We’re looking at a significant purchase, and I wanted to explore if there’s any room for negotiation on
the unit price.

Manager B: Good morning. I’m glad you reached out. We value your business and are eager to find a
mutually beneficial agreement. What pricing are you hoping to achieve?

Manager A: Based on our budget, we were hoping to get the price down from $200 per unit to $180.
Given the volume we’re ordering, I believe this is a fair request.
Manager B: I understand your position. However, our current pricing is based on the costs we’ve
incurred. a) I’m afraid we can’t go as low as $180, but we might be able to offer $190 per unit if you’re
willing to commit to a longer-term contract.

Manager A: I appreciate the offer. A long-term commitment could work for us, but we’d need some
additional concessions. Could we explore additional support or a value-added service to justify the $190
price point?

Manager B: Certainly. We could include free shipping and extended support as part of the package. This
should help offset some of the additional costs.

Manager A: b) That sounds reasonable. If we can agree on $190 per unit with the added support and
free shipping, we can move forward with the order and discuss the details of the long-term
commitment.

Manager B: c) I’m glad we could reach an agreement. Let’s formalize the agreement and outline the
terms for the extended support and shipping.

Manager A: Perfect. I’ll draft the agreement and send it over for review. Thanks for working with us on
this.

Manager B: Thank you as well. I look forward to finalizing the details.

1. Simplified Conclusion:

Original Conclusion:
While bringing awareness to the importance of self-care and acknowledging the dangers of ignoring
mental health is surely positive, there is plenty of damage being done in the process, even though most
have good intentions. People fighting to destigmatize mental health are often inadvertently causing
harm to impressionable viewers that are desperately searching for answers as to why they feel so
different and desire a quick and easy fix to their problems. We all need to take a step back and recognize
the dangers of excessive social media usage and the effects it has on us all, especially our children.

Revised Conclusion:
Raising awareness about mental health is important, but it can harm those seeking quick fixes. We need
to be cautious about the negative effects of social media, especially on children.

2. Simplified Conclusion:

Original Conclusion:
In conclusion, playing games can provide additional education in English language. However, game in
itself cannot replace the value of education and learning. It is more appropriate to put a harmony in
education and games to provide the optimal learning experience. To avoid the addiction in the games,
the players should be able to manage their time between learning and playing games.

Revised Conclusion:
Games can support English learning, but they should complement, not replace, education. Players
should balance gaming with learning to avoid addiction.

Explanation:

In both cases, I condensed the main ideas while keeping the core message intact. The revised
conclusions focus on the most important points in a shorter, simpler format.
