To whom it may concern,

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application to become a volunteer at Bracken Ridge Community Centre. I would love to volunteer with the young people that attend the group sessions to improve their basic literacy and numeracy skills.

I am a fully qualified teacher with over 7 years of experiences working in a varitey of educational settings. My training with Teach First (a graduate programme specialising working with disadvantaged schools) allowed me to develop skills such as paitence and empathy. I believe having these skills is super important when working with children and young adults who have their own personal struggles.

I have primarily worked in lower primary with most of my experience being in grade 2. I feel this experience would be cruical as I am able to break down key learning concepts into smaller chunks to support learning. Another one of my strengths is that I am able to make the learning fun and engaging through hands on activities. I would be able to provide all my own materials and resources to support the group.

I am available Monday – Friday for groups starting at 4pm until 7pm.

I love to learn and would feel very grateful if I was able to pass this on to these young people who need it most. If you feel as though I would be a great fit, I am happy to come for a trial whenever you seem appropriate.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesistate to ask.

Kind Regards,

Sam Quiff

Task Response

The letter fully satisfies the requirements of the task. It is well-organized, clearly written, and uses appropriate language and tone. The content is relevant and sufficiently detailed, providing a strong representation of the applicant's suitability for the volunteer position. There are no omissions or lapses.

Coherence & Cohesion

The letter is generally well-organized and easy to follow. The paragraphing is logical, with each paragraph addressing a specific aspect of the task. However, transitions between some ideas could be smoother to enhance the overall flow. For example, when transitioning from your background to your skills, a clearer connection could be established.

Lexical Resource

The letter demonstrates a good range of vocabulary, particularly in the context of teaching and working with young people. Terms like 'literacy and numeracy skills,' 'educational settings,' 'disadvantaged schools,' and 'key learning concepts' are used appropriately. To further enhance the lexical resource, consider incorporating more varied and sophisticated language to describe your skills and experiences. For instance, instead of 'super important,' you could use 'essential' or 'critical.'

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The letter demonstrates a good command of grammar, with a variety of sentence structures used effectively. There are a few minor errors, such as 'experiences' instead of 'experience' and 'paitence' instead of 'patience,' but these do not significantly impede understanding. Pay close attention to proofreading to catch these small errors. Also, ensure correct spelling and punctuation throughout the letter.
