Dear Madam or Sir, Sir or Madam


With this letter [delete - not necessary] I would like to obtain a teaching post with the Assistant Programme in England for the next year. To introduce myself briefly, I can say that I am currently pursuing studies in history at Toulouse in France. A few years ago, I have studied [studied] computer science for two years that gives me strong abilities in this domain.

The Assistant Programme interests me because it makes possible to integrate the secondary education. Actually it [omit - better without it] fits with my professional aim which is to become a history teacher. Furthermore this job offers correct working time and great income [a reasonable income and proper working hours] Those will allow me to discover the country in the best conditions.

Due to my studies, I am aware that my English language skills are still to increase[need to improve]. I studied English during secondary school and high school for about ten years, but it’s not perfect yet. But I constantly try to improve myself by doing personal work. Besides it is one more [This is one] reason I want to live in England for a year. For my point of view, it’s the best way to acquire good accent and talk “true” English, not English based only on reading. Added to that, I really want to discover [experience] a culture which is not a stranger for me, but not familiar too.

Concerning the work to do,[omit] I can assure you of my high motivation and skills. Work is not a strange word for me : every year, during holidays or school year, I used to work for [in] different kinds of jobs. I’m not fearing [afraid of] doing some hours of teaching at all. I take it as a challenge.

I’ve already worked with children in several cases [on several occasions {{but you could omit this}}]. I have learnt tennis for two years starting when I was sixteen and I have made a holiday camp with children who had some difficulties in their lives. Sometimes it was difficult but most of the time very fulfilling.

Finally I would say that my English language skills are certainly not the best but I think that my seriousness, my sense of responsibilities, and my experience make up for this lack.

I hope that you will look favourably on my application and that I will hear from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully,
