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 WattieSubmitted by karampalvirk21 on
