Hier mal der erste Entwurf. Mir ist klar, dass hier noch einiges in Richtung Motivation passieren muss. Werde heute Abend weiter dran arbeiten.
Dear Mr. xyz,
I would like to attend the Weltwärts program in the upcoming year as an english teacher for teenagers. Currently I‘m working as a junior designer. Although I love my job, I want to get to know other cultures and get involved with other people and contribute to a community.
I have always been interested in the asian way of life. Especially Thailand amazes me with it‘s contradictory culture of traditional, peaceful villages opposed to the modern, fast-paced big cities like Bangkok.
I am used to having a lot of responsibilities assigned, therefore I stay focused even in stressful situations. It is easy for me to get along with foreign people, in fact I like to make a connection with new people. I know that the work with the teenagers would be a lot of fun for me and I am sure that I could learn a lot from it.
I consider my english skills very good. Through my job I always had to read english resources to keep myself up to date. Lately I even started writing english articles for graphic design websites, so my written english skills are nearly fluent. My spoken english isn‘t fluent, but I can talk with other people in english with ease.
Beside my english skills I have started learning Thai. At the moment I am only learning Thai vocabularies and their tonality, since I am still learning the Thai alphabet. Therefore my Thai skills are still on a beginner level, but I want to improve my skills a lot, which is why I would love to live in Thailand for one year.
I am sure that my Thai skills will be a great addition for the daily work with the teenagers.
I would love to introduce myself in person to you, so you could get to know me and my motivation better. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Andreas Galster
