Band 6+: 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 Write at least 150 words.

Dear Sir or Madam,

While looking for some interesting opportunities all over the world I spotted the advert about the job offer available in your family and I consider myself to be an appropriate (suitable/fitting) candidate for this kind of job.

To begin with, I am really keen on (enthusiastic about/passionate about) travelling and exploring new things, that is why I would love to come to Australia. Visiting this country has been in my bucket list for a while. At the same time, I am believed to get along with children greatly, and I have got some experience working with them as an English teacher. I used to help them out with homework. There were different age groups, and because of that I had to figure out for to entertain all of them. However, we never got bored and used only interesting methods of learning for everyone.

As I mentioned previously, my experience is one of the reasons why I hope to be chosen for this position. Also, one of the crucial aspects is that I have got siblings and I as the eldest child in the family I shouldered much of the burden looking after them. So, it gives me enough power to cope with stressful situations related to kids.

Finally, I would really appreciate getting the respond from you. As I’m already imagining myself travelling all over Australia, discovering the cultural heritage of this country and sharing my knowledge with your child.

Sincerely yours,

Kate
