    Hôm nay góp vài cents giúp Britney nhá:
    1. We are writing to you IN ORDER TO clarify certain confused points.
    TO cũng đúng nhưng theo context thì đó là formal nên dùng cái này đúng hơn. SO AS TO thì quá rườm rà thiếu tự nhiên.
    2. Our reply has been delayed BECAUSE OF the recent postal strike.
    Trả lời đúng rùi đó.
    3. These matters are difficult to deal with in writing. THAT IS WHY we feel that it would be better for us to have a meeting.
    THIS thường dùng để chỉ câu văn mà mình sắp nói tiếp theo. THAT để chỉ câu văn mà mình vừa nói xong.
    4. I am sending you my CV, as well as other information, SO THAT you will have a chance to study it before our interview.

    STUDY ở đây có nghĩa là Examine = nghiên cứu, tìm hiểu
    5. Unfortunately, your letter arrived after the final date for applications. AS A RESULT we cannot consider you for the post.

    CONSEQUENTLY cũng cùng nghĩa nhưng chỉ dùng trong văn essay thôi. Còn ai lại đi nói FOR THIS ??
    6. AS you are an import-export company, you will no doubt be pleased to know that I speak several foreign languages.
    Sự khác nhau giữa SINCE và AS hơi subtle một tí, có nói trong sách về English word usage.
    7. I have had no regular work during the last year BECAUSE OF a persistent illness.

    Miễn bàn.
    8. You suggest a visit in the first week of June. SINCE June 2nd is a public holiday in our country, we would like *****ggest the second week instead.
    Thật ra dùng BECAUSE cũng đúng. Câu này hơi ambiguous.
    9. Most companies take their holidays in August. THUS there is little chance of much work being completed then.

    Theo thiển ý của mình thì SO hơi bị informal. Còn THEREFORE thì thường đứng ở giữa câu chứ không phải đầu câu.
    10. IN VIEW OF his recent conduct the club has decided *****spend him till further notice.

    Tất cả những đáp án kia đều sai hoặc về nghĩa, hoặc về cách dùng từ.
    Cheers.

    Em Britney ạ, đấy là anh đùa với chị ăn thịt người thế thôi chứ học A2 cũng chẳng có nghĩa là kém đâu. Tất nhiên dân A1 thì đại đa số vẫn giỏi hơn rồi nhưng mà dân A2 cũng có ko ít người giỏi, ví dụ như chị Hannibal ngày xưa ở Ams hơi bị nổi tiếng. Em vào Ams một thời gian là biết ngay. Mở ngoặc cái: ko phải nổi tiếng học giỏi đâu mà nổi tiếng vì đánh bóng rổ chuyên bị block, hé hé, đóng ngoặc.
    Còn thì em đã vào đc A1 rồi thì cứ yên tâm, xuống A2 thì hầu như năm nào cũng có ít nhất 1 đứa nhưng mà muốn xuống cũng ko dễ em ạ, cũng như muốn lên là rất khó. em cứ cố sao cho đứng khoảng top 50% của lớp về tiếng Anh là đỡ phải khổ thi thố. Anh chưa phải thi bao giờ nhưng bọn đi thi đều bảo là đề khó lắm.
    Còn cái satisfying với satisfactory thì như thế này. thường thì người ta cứ nghĩ cái này giống interesting với interested nhưng thực ra không phải đâu. Satisfying thường chỉ được dùng như dạng hiện tại tiếp diễn của satisfy chứ ko được dùng như tính từ. Tính từ phải là satisfactory.
    VD: người ta chẳng mấy khi nói: she's a satisfying manager như bác gì nói cả (và cách bác phiên dịch chữ satisfying nghe cũng ko ổn.) người ta chỉ nói là she does a satisfactory job of management. Ở đây cái chữ satisfactory nghĩa là decent, adequate... ko giỏi ko kém, so so...

    Let me try to answer your questions
    1. We are writing to you _____ clarify certain confused points.
    a/ to b/ in order to c/ so as to d/ for.


    I would choose a/ because it is the shortest and the other two are verbose.

    2. Our reply has been delayed ______ the recent postal strike.
    a/ because of b/ owing to c/ for d/ by


    d/ is the shortest, a/ and b/ are verbose.

    3. These matters are difficult to deal with in writing. _______ we feel that it would be better for us to have a meeting.
    a/ This is why b/ That is why c/ This is because d/ Consequently

    Needless to say, c/ is flat out wrong. d/ is possible, except that there is no comma there, and it needs a comma. Both a/ and b/ are verbose.

    4. I am sending you my CV, as well as other information, _______ you will have a chance to study it before our interview.
    a/ so that b/ because c/ for d/since.


    "So that" is correct, but it's not a good sentence, because it's rather presumptuous of a job applicant to tell the interviewer what to do with application materials. "study" should be something a little more polite, eg "look at them".

    5. Unfortunately, your letter arrived after the final date for applications. ______ we cannot consider you for the post.
    a/ as a result b/ that is because c/ consequently d/ For this


    It is same problem as #3 and same answer. I wouldn't use "consequently". I'd write the sentence as "Unfortunately, because your letter arrived after the final date for applications, we cannot consider you for the post".

    6. ________ you are an import-export company, you will no doubt be pleased to know that I speak several foreign languages.
    a/ For b/ Since c/ As d/ Because of

    No, a/ is wrong in this context. How can you choose between b/ and c/?
    10. __________ his recent conduct the club has decided *****spend him till further notice.
    a/ In view of b/ With a view to c/ In view of the fact d/ Despite

    I don't like any of the answers. I'd say "Because of", but I guess it should be a/.

    I think one or more of the original sentences are not well constructed:

    - We would like to clarify a few points.
    - We would like to clear up some confusions.
    2. Our reply has been delayed due to the recent postal strike.
    The sentence has logical problem. You should say:
    - We appology for the delay. This is probably due to the recent postal strike.
    3. These matters are difficult to deal with in writing. Consequently we feel that it would be better for us to have a meeting.
    - As these matters are difficult to deal with in writing, we therefore suggest that a meeting would be more appropriate on a date convenient to us both.
    4. I am sending you my CV, as well as other information, _______ you will have a chance to study it before our interview.
    - Please find enclosed Curriculum Vitae of mine, plus other requested information.
    ( Second part will be consider as a gross misconduct, intellectually substandard, and you would never even get near to the interview)
    5. Unfortunately, your letter arrived after the final date for applications. ______ we cannot consider you for the post.
    - We were unable to consider your application as it arrive after the (acceptance date) / (deadline).
    6. ________ you are an import-export company, you will no doubt be pleased to know that I speak several foreign languages.
    - It may be of interest to you that I speak more than one language.
    7. I have had no regular work during the last year _____ a persistent illness.
    - Unfortunately due to illness I was unable to work most of the last year.
    8. You suggest a visit in the first week of June. _______ June 2nd is a public holiday in our country, we would like *****ggest the second week instead.
    - You suggested a visit during the first week of June, but due to a public holiday, we would like to propose the second week instead.
    9. Most companies take their holidays in August. ______ there is little chance of much work being completed then.
    - Most companies take their holidays in August and thus no work will be carried out during this period.
    10. __________ his recent conduct the club has decided *****spend him till further notice.
    - Due to his recent conduct, he has been banned from the club (until further notice) / (indefinitely).
