Writing
Dear sir/madam,
I am writing to apply for one of the positions helping in the local tourist office which were advertised in "Kent Weekly" on August 23rd.
I am 19 years old and come from Brasil. Portuguese is my mother tongue and I have been learning English and French for 5 years at the comprehensive School. At the moment, I am a student at English International, studying for the FCE.
I have always been interested in working with people. As I have already spent three months in England, I know the local tourist attractions quite well. I would also say that I have a good knowledge of history and old places, because I have read a lot about the subject recently. In the near future, I would like to continue studying English, and so the job in your tourist office would be a great opportunity for me to improve my speaking.
I am available for interview at any time. I can be contacted on 079 551-3241 after 6 p.m. every evening. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your faithfully,
Lucimeire Trindade
