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 a suitable person to employ say how you would spend your free time while you are in Australia

Dear Mr and Mrs James, Greetings, I am Saman from Sri Lanka. I am writing
this
letter with regards to the vacancy advertisement which I read in Australian Sunday Morning on 24th June 2022. I would like to apply for the position that you have mentioned, "Look after a six-year-old child Kevin". Though I am currently working in Sri Lanka as a preschool teacher, I will be in Australia
next
month for an Educational Tour. So, it would be nice if I can stay with you while looking after your baby. I am experienced in early childhood education for almost ten years now.
Moreover
, during my leisure time, I am working in a day-care centre looking after six kids like yours. So, I hope I am an ideal candidate for the requirement. During my free time, I plan to visit the Canberra Museum to collect some information about aboriginals.
That is
for a lecture, which I am going to deliver after I come back from Australia. Well let me stop here, I am eagerly waiting for your reply to
this
letter. If you need more information, please feel free to contact me. Thank you in advance. Yours sincerely, Saman.
