Mrs Barrett, an English-speaking woman who lives in your town, has advertised for someone to help her in her home for a few hours a day next summer. Write a letter to Mrs Barrett. In your letter: • suggest how you could help her in her home • say why you would like to do this work • explain when you will and will not be available
Dear Mrs Barrett,
I am writing to you to apply for the part-time job in your home
next
summer, which was advertised in a newspaper. My name is Jason, and I am a student learning my master’s degree in the same townaasou.
I once worked as a chef in a restaurant, so I can cook very delicious food. I also
can clean the room. If you have children, I can also
work as a babysitter to take care of them, helping them learn language or math. I like animals too, if you have pets, I can help look after them.
I really hope I can get the job for two reasons. Firstly
, I can use the salary to pay part of my tuition, so that I don't need too much financial support from my family. Secondly
, it is the best chance for me to practise my English with you since I am an international student.
I can work 5 days a week during the summer. I am available from 9am to 6pm during the weekday, I have to visit my teacher on Sunday, so I am not available on that day.
I would very much like to work with you. I am hoping that you will give me an opportunity to prove my worth.
Yours sincerely,
Jason.Submitted by jiangyj82 on

To score effectively on your IELTS exam, you should make an effort to implement short concise sentences coupled with linking words.
Almost every sentence in your essay should have a linking word of some sort.
In fact, the only sentences that can omit linking words are your background sentence and thesis.
Linking word examples:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- in additional
- moreover
