You have seen an advertisement in an Australian magazine for someone to live with a family for six months and look after their six-year-old child. Write a letter to the parents. In your letter • Explain why you would like the job • Give details of why you would be suitable person to employ • Say how you would spend your free time while you are in Australia

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing
this
letter in response to an advertisement, published
last
week in one of the leading Australian family magazines, where you asked for a short term live-in caregiver for your six-year-old
child
. I have proper experiences to take the best
care
of your
child
and I would like to take the job. I am confident that I would be able to render a great service in taking
care
of your
child
since I have had a good experience in raising a couple of younger siblings as the eldest
child
of my family.
Besides
, I love children since I consider them as a bundle of joy and that's why I took
care
of some young children as a babysitter in my hometown. In fact, I find children so special that I have taken a short online course on parenting so that I could relate to them in a better way. By the way, I recently came to visit Australia from my home country at the invitation of my uncle in order to live with him for the
next
six months or so. And, while I am in Australia, I would
also
love to explore
this
beautiful country and learn about the lifestyles and culture of its people,
in addition
to taking
care
of your
child
should you choose to offer me the job. Yours faithfully,

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
