You have seen an advertisement from a couple, who live in Australia, for someone to teach their two children your language for a year. Write a letter to the couple. 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 Mr and Mrs Thompson, I am writing with regard to your advertisement for a
Chinese
tutor. I believe that I am highly suited for
this
job due to my qualifications and experience teaching
Chinese
. I have a master degree in
Chinese
language teaching from Shanghai university.
In addition
, I have been working as a
Chinese
tutor now for five years.
In addition
, to teaching
Chinese
I can
also
educate your
children
about
Chinese
culture. I believe your
children
would be interested to know about
Chinese
calligraphy and I could supply equipment if they are keen to learn
this
. The main reason why I am interested in
this
job is that it will support my current studies. I’m currently studying for my PhD and my area of interest is teaching
Chinese
to non-native
children
.
Therefore
, I believe that while teaching your
children
I will
also
benefit by understanding how non-native
children
learn. I would appreciate discussing
this
with you
further
when time permits. Yours faithfully, Mike Wattie
