Avant toute chose, il faut savoir si vous vous adressez à une personne privée ou à un bureau de recrutement. 1°)cas: Dear Madam , Dear Sir.
2°)cas: To the Director of the ...(nom de l'agence ou socièté) et ligne suivante, Dear Madam, Dear Sir.
[I (present) introduce myself:] #pas obligatoire# My name is Caroline Dah, I am 19 years-old, I live in France in Méry sur Oise, not far from Paris,northway.
I am (currently in the first year of license in) studying psychology First Year in ...(nom et ville de l'université)
I am (writing to you) looking for (because I would like to become) an au-pair job in England, (during) for eight months from September 2008 to May 2009.
I already have (already) some experiences in child care as
(Indeed,) I have worked in a city (municipal) nursery [attention: nursery=infirmière] in 2005 during (for) my secondary (college) [college=université] course, where I had to take care of more than twenty children (younger than) up to three years old with two of my colleagues. We organized games, we helped them to eat, look after them during their (to) sleep, and we changed their diapers.
Then, from 2004 to 2006, I took care of two children aged 3 and 5 years on several occasions in the (for) morning(s) or afternoon(s) or (and) at night(s).
From April to June 2008, I "baby-sit" (randomly of a child aged) a 2 years old child in the (afternoon) evening. I use to (would) pick him up (him) to his child minder, (I would give him something to eat) to feed him, (I would) to wash him and I (would wait) stay with him untill (the return of) his parents come back.(.......)
Besides, I attended a training course of baby-sitting dispensed by a nursery nurse dependent on the municipal nursery.
Finally, my mother is a child minder from 0000.
I always helped her to baby-sit, and I learned a lot from her expertise and her love for children.
It will be beneficial to me to become an au pair because aptitude and discoveries that I will acquire correspond to my desires and my future plans.
To begin, I would like to improve my English speaking, to become bilingual. It is indispensable for me because I would like to work in Ethnic Tourism.
One of the particularities of Ethnic Tourism is cultural exchange. That's what fascinates me. This notion corresponds to my desires. During my language-learning trip, I want to discover English culture, another way of life, new person and London.
Also, I would like to acquire independence by leaving my family, and learning to manage me alone. This will benefit me in my futur professional field.
I have several centres of interest.
To begin, I love going to the cinema. Next, trips are activities that fascinate me. Then, I appreciate also going out with my friends. In this last activity I particularly enjoy planning events and discovering original environments.
Also, I like spending a whole day to visit museums and exhibitions in Paris. It is very rewarding.
Finally, in order to keep fit, I used to swim and to do body-building.
Sincerely Yours (truly).
Excusez-moi je dois partir, et malheureusement je ne sais quand je rentrerai. Bonne chance !!!!!!
