Dear Fiona,
This letter aims at giving
you an overview about me as a language learner. The first time I got in touch
with a foreign language was at the Secondary Modern School where I was taught by
a very motivated and professional teacher. Later on, at the Secondary
Vocational School for Commerce and Tourism I was able to improve my English and
also learned Italian. I always wanted to work on texts, to write essays and
summaries to improve my writing, but unfortunately she focused on many other
exercises apart from that. My English teacher mainly talked in German during
our English lessons and although we worked on grammar I personally never felt challenged
by the tasks. The important thing for you to know is though that I tried to progress
on my own by reading books and magazines and watching films in English. I tried
to grab every opportunity to have a conversation with a native speaker or
another English-speaking person. One of my weaknesses is that I probably have a
more limited vocabulary than others at my age due to the facts I already
mentioned above. Nevertheless I have chosen English for two main reasons: it is
a vital skill in our society nowadays and I want to ameliorate my writing and
talking. In conclusion I would like to point out that I am highly motivated and
that I will try to accomplish given tasks thoroughly.
All the best,
Lukas
"To be honest I was a bit shocked when Fiona brought the letter along with her corrections. I know that I am not really good at writing texts but I did not know that I made so many mistakes. I am glad that Fiona has given me a professional feedback, because this is the only way I can improve my writing in English. My aim is to avoid the mistakes I tend to make and to hand in a more professional version next time."
