ich möchte gerne als Au-Pair nach Irland. Leider scheint mein Englisch in meinen 3 Jahren Berufsschule relativ verloren gegangen zu sein
Daher wäre es schön wenn ihr mal schauen könntet ob der Brief so richtig ist.
Dear Host Family,
My name is ... and I was born on the ... in the former German Democratic Republic. When I was 17 years old I moved to ..., near the North Sea, to start my trainee in our public lybrary.
Here I live in my own domicile since 2 years. So I have to do the household by myself.
Before I lived together with my mother ..., my stepfather... and my older brother ... I have also got an younger stepbrother ... who is living by his mother.
Mostly my mother worked at the day. So I cooked for me and my brother and took care of the household, like the laundry and cleaning.
There are many reasons for me why I want to be an Au Pair: Taking care of children, living together with a family in a new and unknown country, learning something about the culture, meeting new friends from the whole world and not at last to improve my English knowledge. It's a big dream for me since a few years.
Now I would like to tell you something about my experiences with children.
In March 2004 I did a practical training at a kindergarten (for 2 weeks). There were 12 children at the age of 3 to 8 and I helped the governess to supervise the group. We played games, ate together, sang songs, read out for the kids and helped with their homeworks every day. I enjoyed these weeks and it was a helpful experience for me to care for so many kids at the same time.
Since I am 10 years I tooked care for my little cousins. They are now 4 – 10 years old.
I picked up them after school and kindergarten, played with them, helped with the homeworks and read out them. Sometimes I cooked for them and bring them into bed.
At my trainee in our public library I work especially in the area Children's and Young Adult. Our library make a lot of activities. The children we work with are from 2 – 17 years old.
With the younger we do handicrafts, rallies trough the library, read out for them and do a lot of other other games.
With the older kids we devise own stories, show them how to find informations for the school and much more.
With my kollege from the Children's and Young Adult Library we think about a lot of new activities.
For giving you a first impression of me I want to start telling you something about me and my personality:
I would describe me as a reliable, friendly, positive, lively and open-minded woman.
In my free time, I love doing different kind of sports (especially outdoors), playing volleyball and soccer, swimming and and bicycling. I also enjoy cooking, meeting my friends, watching new films at the cinema, reading a good book and travelling. I also love singing and music. I have almost everytime a song in my mind.
On the .... I got my annual audit. So after that time I am ready to fly to Ireland. I want to stay minimum 12 months. I didn´t have a date to arive. I can stay up to 2 years in your familie.
In conclusion, I would like to thank you very much for taking your time to get to know me better. And I hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards
