Dear Mr. And Mrs. Flinders,
I am writing to express my interest in the job position of Chinese language teacher for you children that you advertised on your social media profile. I am confident that my qualities and experiences in language teaching make me the ideal candidate for the job.
I am currently a postgraduate student majoring in Chinese literature and during my undergraduate
programme
I have had multiple part-time work experiences in teaching Chinese to foreign students, ranging from tutorial sessions to online courses. These experiences honed my skills in linguistic pedagogies and equipped me with an in-depth understanding of educational psychology, which aligns perfectly with your needs.

Maintaining a suitable writing tone is crucial, and you've managed this well. It's formal yet personal, appropriate for this context. For improvement, you could include more emotion or enthusiasm to make your interest more palpable.
Structure your letter
A letter needs to be written using a proper format, including the following:
- A greeting (Dear sir/madam, Dear John, Dear Mr. Smith)
- The main body (consisting of paragraphs for each part of the letter)
- A closing (Yours sincerely, Yours faithfully, Best wishes, Kind regards, Love)
When writing a letter as part of the IELTS General Training Writing Task 1, it is important to include the bullet points presented to you in the question.
All three bullet points need to be presented. And remember that some bullet points contain more than one element. So, make sure to watch for ‘and’ and plurals.
