do anyone have any similar example letters that i can have a look and see how i can set my letter out? i also want to ask for the details of work, the accommodation, working hours and pays etc.

Answer 1

P.P.S Perhaps you would like some instructions on how to write a composition/letter:

1. Plan what you wish to say carefully before you begin to write. Draw up an outline of your ideas.

2. Organize these ideas by arranging them in a logical sequence.

3. Attempt to form your thoughts in French. Use vocabulary you have already acquired, being sure to include idiomatic expressions.

4. Devise an effective topic sentence. The last sentence should be an appropriate conclusion. To make either of these sentences more dramatic, a question, an exclamation, or even a proverb may be used.

5. Show your command of the language with varied vocabulary, synonyms where posible to avoid repetition. Variety is essential in good writing.

6. Vary the sentence structure to avoid monotony. (for example, combine simple sentences into complex ones.) Include constructions such as those connected with the preent participle, depuis, quand, après, the subjunctive and "si" clauses.

7. Use connectives such as par conséquent, d'ailleurs, à vrai dire, déanmoins, bien entendu and relative pronouns to achieve coherence. Be sure the transitions are smooth, giving the composition a mature tone.

8. Reread the composition after you have written it. If you have time, it is best to do the final proof-reading the next day! Check particularly for errors of spelling, accentuatuation and agreement.
