English homework

Dear Sir / Madam,

My name is Darja Aleksejeva. I have seen the advertisment in a student newspaper. I am writing to apply for the a hotel receptionist for Daleside International Hotel during the summer. 

Firstly, I am from Estonia, Tallinn. I am 17 years old and study at school in the 11th form. I can communicate with people in Russian, Estonian and English. I have not ever had this kind of experience, but I want to try. I like meeting new people and I enjoy working with them. 

One more reason I am applinig for the job is the working experience. I am thinkig to study in the Univercity of Hotel Buisness, so this is by far the best opportunity for me. I have not any problems with the comunication and I want to try something new and usefull.

I would appreciate being given the chance to work in your international hotel and would be grateful if you would consider my application.

Yours faithfully,

Dariia

Education in Estonia

  Nowdays education is one of the most important things in our life. You need it to have a success in future.
Do you want to be a doctor or a teacher, pilot or writer, you have to study.
   In our country we have subject-centered curriculum. It means that we study all subjects and when we will be grown-up we can choose the best specialization.
   But really I have observed that the teacher's role is no longer simply to feed information to students. Facts are available in libraries, on CD ROMs and in the Internet. What sudents need are skills to find this information. In our school we have many lessons where the teachers are helpers, not the masters. It teachs us to understand that our future, which depends on our education, is only in our hands.
   If we had student-centered curriculum, we would know only that subjects, that we chose. In one way it is rather good, because we listen only that lessens, which we will need in our future job and do not spend time on unnecessary ones. But if in the future I will need the others?
   So, I think, that Estonia has the right way of education.
