Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to you concerning the job advertisement, which I saw on the noticeboard of {***} {1} local language school.{***}

There was told, {2} that you need a person to help to organise a Film Club for students of English.

I think that I am a suitable person for this job. First of all, I have been studying English for five years and have lived in London for six months. {3} I speak English quite well. Secondly, I like working with people very much, [$StartBadAnn$]W[$EndBadAnn$] I like speaking and discussing with them any things{4}. And at last {5} I love watching movies very much too. I often go to the cinemas with friends and then we usually discuss the movie, so I had {6} a little practise {7}.

That is all what I wanted to say. If you want{8} to know more about me do not hesitate to write to me.

 

{***}Yours Faithfully {***}

Feedback

Ana, this is a very good realisation of the task. You sound convincing to the reader and I am sure you would be offered an interview based on what you have written! I particularly liked your good control of grammatical tenses and the way you have organised the letter and used an appropriate beginning and ending.

I have corrected a couple of errors and made a single suggestion to show the examiner you have a broad range of vocabulary.

Good luck and I'm sure you will do well in your FCE exam!

Best wishes
