Opportunity in Australia

We’re a young family living in Perth Australia and we’re looking for someone to come and stay with us for a year and teach our two young children, ages 4 and 6, a foreign language. 

If you’re interested, send us an email explaining why you think you would be suitable for the job. Please also let us know what else you could do for the family (such as house work, cleaning, cooking etc.), and finally, let us know why you want the job. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

From: Sam

Subject: party plans

I’m pleased to say that all our classmates are able to come to the party we’re organising for the end of the course. There are just a few more things I’d like to ask you. Should we hire a band for the occasion? Shall we order some food from a local restaurant? How about making it a fancy dress party?

Speak to you soon.

All the best,

Sam
