To the editor manager of the international exchange program  of Casa Thomas Jefferson.

            Dear Sir,

            I read in an ad that Casa Thomas Jefferson is making room for some students to participate in an international exchange english program in the United States, planned for the next summer.

            First of all, I'd like to congratulate this institution for such initiative, for it manifests the respect and appreciation the school has for its students.

            To the students, this will be kind of a fabulous prize. In fact, some people are waiting for it so ardently that they do not think of another thing.  I think this will be a great opportunity for the students to put their knowledge in practice, mainly because they will be exposed to a real English environment. In addition, they will also know the culture and other aspects of that controversial country in a bit closer manner.

            Well, the fact is that I do want to put my name on the list. And I do really want to be selected to the exchange program, as traveling to the United States is a dream I have since I started studying English.  Besides, as never have I been abroad, I need to take this opportunity as a way to use and evaluate my English appropriately.

            Furthermore, In spite of knowing that the school will cover the costs, I would suggest that the selected students pay for half of the cost of the travel, so that more students could be selected.

            As a candidate to the program, I would say that I consider my profile as an English student to be quite satisfactory. I think my grades could show what I mean. In spite of having some difficulties in listening skills, I am  sure I can compensate it appropriately with dedication and willingness to interact with people in any situation. Besides, I have been studying English for a long time, so I'm sure I'm able to make myself understood in any place of the world.

            Hoping to be selected, I am sending some information about me, as the following: My name's Carmosino, and I am 48. I'm married and I have been living in Brasília since I was a boy. I am a lieutenant and I work in Policia Militar do Distrito Federal. I went to Faculdade de Educação da Terra de Brasília, and my major is language. As I studied French for five years in Centro Interescolar de Línguas de Ceilândia, I think I'm still able to have a conversation on that language. if by any chance I need medical assistance, you can contact my wife Silvania, phone 3333-4659. My favorite hobby is playing tennis but I like soccer too. I think these sports are superb mostly because they make you feel good and provide situations that force us to try our best. Reading is another thing I appreciate very much.

            I think this is enough. I hope I have provided enough information about me, but, if needed, you can call me in my cell phone, 9937-8007, for supplementary data.

                                                           Sincerely yours,

Carmosino R. Almeida
