In 2000, I graduated from the University of Foreign Languages in Minsk (Belarus) with a BSc in the History of English and Pedagogics.02br 00 After graduation, I moved to Warsaw where I decided to develop my interest in English teaching through a master’s degree. Since at Warsaw University it is an absolute necessity for a would-be teacher to specialize in two subjects, I expressed a preference to continue studying English and World History. So at present I am a holder of MA in English. Furthermore, I have recently obtained a grade A in the Cambridge Advanced English Examination.02br 00 I am currently employed as a teacher of English and History at Warsaw High School, where I have been noted for my good organizational and communication skills. Since I know some valuable psychological methods of influencing people, I have never faced any problems of misbehaviour or disorganisaton. On the contrary, my students look up on me and never give me a reason for disappointment. Due to the fact that I am an active and energetic person, I have organized a short tour around Warsaw, which gave me an opportunity to learn more about the main places of interest and obtain a valuable insight into Polish culture.02br 00 I believe I am an ideal candidate for the position you have outlined, as my profession includes an extensive communication with children and adults. Besides, my wide historical knowledge cannot go unnoticed. So beyond all question all tourists will be captivated by whatever historical facts I will be telling them.02br 00 I enclose my curriculum vitae, and I would be happy to supply you with further details should be required. I thank you for considering my application and I will be available for an interview at any time.02br 00 Yours faithfully, 02br 00 Victoria Komorowskaya02br 00(332 words) 0-
