Improving my writing task



Dear Ms Fey,

Each morning, over the past six years as soon as my students walk in the door... I am so happy to see them and my classroom take life again. For me, it feels so natural to be a primary school teacher again. Yet for the past few months I am longing for and thinking about a new personal challenge in the field of primary education. As a result of my interest by different cultures and languages I have decided to start looking for position at an international school.

My attention was attracted by your school, as it is a relatively young international school and I would like to be member of a pioneering and ambitious team, the fact that it is a Dutch subsidised school with competitive fees is fascinating because that make it accessible to a very broad variety of students and it is valuable that the experience of living in Amsterdam and the Netherlands are being used and added to within the multicultural setting of your school, as I think this city and also the Dutch culture have much to offer.

Initially groups 3-8 are my interested positions. In my opinion the children of these ages are still very spontaneous, eager to learn and able to communicate and discuss well. Still, in view of my university education, teaching secondary school students might be a future job possibility.

I am an open minded person with excellent social skills. For me, tolerating pressure easily in group management, organising and planning is natural. Being a graduated at an outstanding technical university and a consulting engineer and group leader in the field of logistics and general management for several years help me developed my rational, analytical and coordinating skill. Then I decided to really follow my heart and passion and became a primary school teacher.

I believe value would be added to your organisation with my skill and enthusiasm, also I would very much appreciate to be interviewed so that we could discuss more about the job description, my motivation and suitability.

Yours sincerely,
Candidate X

  1. This is a very good correction, but it's not perfect. This are some of the mistakes that I could detect:

    - "I am so happy to see them and my classroom take life again." In this sentence the second idea don't make too much sense, maybe you should use another connector or add a verb.

    - In the second paragraph you used a lot the “and”.

    - In the next sentence I think that you changed a little bit the sense compared with the original letter. “For me, tolerating pressure easily in group management, organising and planning is natural.” Instead of “I tolerate pressure easily. Group management, organising and planning is natural to me”.

    - “… also I would very much appreciate to be…” Is wrong, the correct way is “… also I would appreciate very much to be…”

    Finally I think that your letter correction was pretty good, the mistakes I found are easy to correct and you reached a high level of writing. My mark for you is 6,5.
    Good Job

    1. In this part “… also I would very much appreciate to be…” Is wrong, the correct way is “… also I would appreciate very much to be…” the difference between the original[beside what you said] is the also [in the original is and] so obviously it was a typing/transcription mistake.
