33. Re: Application as a english teacher
34. Mss. Amy Thomas
35.
I'm writing in order to apply for a position that is already open as an English
language teacher. I would like to start by telling you that I meet all the
requirements: I have been teaching English for 10 years in different places,
from particular classes to college. Besides, as you can see in my resume,
many students grade me with one of the highest scores in the whole college in
2021. As a consequence, my director and colleagues have written some letters
of reference. On the other hand, I could help with the newest techniques for
evaluation for us to get them in the best mood and to love learning English as
a second language.

VII. Writing
Why did I choose to learn English, what motivated you, what do you see as the
benefits of bilingualism and multilingualism?
Nowadays English is the most important language in the world, almost 90% of the
population is born or learns the skill. In this essay I will show the two main reasons
why I decided to use English in my life. The first one is helping a lot in getting a better
job abroad, and the second, information is written especially in english.
Firstly, it is well known that many companies are looking for people who have
developed their skills in a way that the general doesnt. So for a position as a boss,
manager or principal we need to be ready in all those cases such as international
sharing information, meeting or communication. Let me explain better, one of the
requirements that are always printed on hiring head stuff is English language,
therefore in my case, as soon as i realized what is demanding i started my studies in
english for me to have one of those spots later.
Another reason is, I consider myself as a curious and smart girl so I'm always into a
book or interested in getting more knowledge about environmental engineering, but
the bad part is to read the translation, which is sometimes not what the author really
says. For instance, one day I was designing a prey using a professional hydric
balance guide. But when I was re-checking my work I noticed how the numbers didn't
make sense, so when I went to read the original book, they mixed the steps on the
procedure after the translation. So since that moment, I promised to myself not to
read any other translation book in a serious job.
