Dear Mathew,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. My name is Adam Smith, and I am writing to express my interest in volunteering at XYZ
School
. Currently, I am residing at Southern Street, just a short 10-minute walk from the school
. I am the proud parent of two wonderful children
, Jooly, who is in the 3rd standard, and Anthony, who is in the 5th standard at your esteemed institution.
As a parent, I have always been actively involved in my children
's education and extracurricular activities. Living in close proximity to the school
has allowed me to witness the positive impact it has on my children
's development. I am particularly drawn to the idea of contributing my time and skills as a volunteer to enhance the overall
educational experience
for the students.
My current work allows me the flexibility to work remotely, providing me with an opportunity to dedicate some of my time to meaningful activities. I am especially interested in engaging with the students through outdoor activities, fostering a supportive and enjoyable environment. I believe that by actively participating in school
events, I can not only contribute to the community but also
create lasting memories for the students.
In terms of relevant experience
, last
year, I volunteered at "ABC School
" alongside my children
for an Essay competition activity. The experience
was not only fulfilling but also
allowed me to witness the positive impact that parental involvement can have on a child's educational journey. This
experience
has motivated me to seek further
opportunities to contribute to the educational community, and I am confident that my passion for working with children
aligns well with the values of XYZ
School
.
I am enthusiastic about the possibility of contributing to the vibrant and nurturing environment at XYZ
School
as a volunteer. I believe my dedication, interpersonal skills, and previous experience
make me well-suited for this
role. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my application further
and explore how I can positively contribute to the school
community.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a valued member of the volunteer team at XYZ
School
.
Yours sincerely,
Adam SmithSubmitted by ssssss9999 on

task response
Ensure the letter is more focused on the specific requirements and expectations outlined for the volunteer position at the school, and address how the applicant's skills and experiences fulfill these requirements.
coherence and cohesion
The logical structure of the letter is generally clear, and the greeting and closing are appropriate. Ensure that the body paragraphs are more tightly connected and flow smoothly from one to the next to enhance coherence and cohesion.
lexical resource
The lexical resource used is varied and appropriate for the context. However, consider using more specific vocabulary related to educational and volunteer activities to enhance the lexical resource.
grammatical range
The grammatical range is commendable, with a good range of sentence structures and accurate use of grammar. However, consider using a wider variety of complex sentence structures to demonstrate a higher level of grammatical range and accuracy.
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.
