The report contains some general___6__(suggest). The experts say that women should get about 2.7 liters of water __7___(day). Men should get about 3.7 liters. But wait in each case, that is more than eight glasses. There is an important difference.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___33___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.
