In your letter: explain why you think you would be suitable for the job say what else you could do for the family give your reasons for wanting the job

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter to express my interest in the position announced in an advertisement that I recently saw. I believe to be the perfect candidate to teach Portuguese for your children since
this
is my native language and I have some relevant experience in the area.
Firstly
, I have worked over the years as a teacher of grammar Portuguese in a highly renowned school in my town.
Moreover
, as a teenager, I used to babysit kids on the weekends and that experience made me learn the best ways to deal with children.
Therefore
,
this
journey as a babysitter inspired me to work as a teacher in high school.
Secondly
, there are other activities that I could do with the kids to get to know them better and
then
establish a friendly relationship with them and with the family. As an example, I could take care of them for a day or a weekend if you might need

you. The reason that I am excited about
this
opportunity is that I recently moved to Australia to study, so I am looking for a job that will not be exhaustive or something
that is
not enjoyable to me. I have a great relationship with kids so I believe
this
could work and I can teach Portuguese as accurate as possible for them. I am looking forward to your return, I can be reached at 21965734007 or [email protected]. Yours faithfully, Beatriz Inacio.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
