4 Model answer
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing in response to your advert for teaching 
assistants for the International Summer Camp your 
company is organising this summer.
I am particularly interested in applying for a position 
as a Sports Teaching Assistant, although I would be 
willing to work on the crafts side too. 
The reason why I think I would make a good member 
of your teaching team is that I am a member of 
several local sports clubs, including ones for 
swimming, athletics and badminton and regularly 
help with training sessions for new members. 
Furthermore, last summer, I went on a training 
course for badminton instructors and am now 
qualified to teach juniors and adults. 
On the crafts side, I can paint in a variety of media 
and know how to weave, so I could help out with 
these activities if necessary.
In addition to my qualifications, I have been to several 
summer camps myself and know the problems young 
people face when they are away from home. I think 
this experience could prove invaluable, should I get 
the opportunity to work for you.
Ideally, I’d like to use my skills teaching swimming and 
badminton but, as I have a wide knowledge of sports, 
I could help out with any sport from athletics to zorbing.
I have enclosed a cv with further details and hope you 
find my application interesting.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
