Band 7+: 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,

I hope this letter finds you in good health.

I moved to Australia last month to complete my master’s degree and I am currently looking for suitable job as well as an accommodation for myself. I believe that this opportunity would allow me to have both the things that I need and would also further expose me to the Australian culture, thus allowing me to assimilate into the community better.

I believe that I would be the perfect fit for this role, mainly because I grew up taking care of my youngest sister who is currently 8 years old. With my mother being a working woman, it fell upon me, as the eldest child, to take care of my sister when my mother was at work. I would make lunch for her daily, along with reading to her so that I could put her to sleep. I would also help her in completing her homework so that by the time my mother would return from work, she would not have to worry at all about my sister. Since I have done this for the past 4 years, I am pretty confident that I will be able to do a good job in taking care of your son.

As an avid reader and cyclist, I plan on spending as much of my free time as possible in Australia cycling to the local library and reading books which would allow me to enhance my knowledge, literary skills and all the while allowing me to work on my fitness as well.

Looking forward to hearing your response.

Please feel free to reach out to me on my mobile number that I have shared below.
