As you will see from my curriculum vitae, I have attended university, where I studied English and Law. After finishing my course, I took a job in a travel agency in Paris and now I organise few hours for people who wanting to go to Australia and the United States. Although I enjoy this very much, I feel I need to get more experience and it would seems to me that working as a specialised tour guide in England would help me for do that. I would rather work in an English-speaking country, as I need to practise my English. I spend one year at London University, which it was most useful. I did much conversation classes and at first I thought that I would find them difficult. However, they turned out to be very enjoyable. I will have no any difficulty in coming to England for an interview if you will let me know in plenty of the time. I enclose details of my present employer who will be too pleased to send you a reference. |
