Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing
this
letter to apply for the docent position at the City Museum
, which you advertised in the local newspaper last
weekend.
Before I explain my experience and skills, I can give some information about myself briefly. I am Hwiju Jin who graduated from art university last
month. When I was a student, I learned various knowledge about kinds of art such
as painting, pictures and crafts. Moreover
, I was born in South Korea and my family moved to Canada when I was 5 years old so I am bilingual. I can speak English and Korean fluently.
What's more, while
I studying at the university, I worked at E Museum
and F gallery as a part-time docent for 2 years. Therefore
, I can adopt the position quickly and I can explain the pictures or paintings to customers completely. When I worked at the Museum
, I got a good reputation from the customers and manager. Besides
, I exhibited my paintings and crafts at the university. Plus, I have a good communication skill so I can deal with customers without difficulties.
The reason why I want to work at the City Museum
is that is
one of my goals. I love art painting and learning new skills and knowledge. If I work there, I will work hard.
please let me know if you need more information about me.
I am looking forward to hearing good news from you.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Hwiju Jin.Submitted by gnlwnww on

coherence cohesion
Ensure each paragraph has a clear theme and purpose. Your letter does well to separate topics into paragraphs, but some could focus more sharply on specific points.
coherence cohesion
For cohesion, try to vary your transitions between paragraphs more for a smoother flow, using phrases like 'In addition to this,' 'Furthermore,' or 'Not only... but also.'
task achievement
While your response mostly aligns with the task requirements, consider adding more specific examples of your special skills and how they would benefit the museum, particularly with an international audience.
task achievement
Your letter's tone is appropriate for the situation, but slight adjustments to formal language use and avoiding contractions ('I am' instead of 'I'm') could further improve its suitability.
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.
