   ❖ Tapescript

   Children education is changing very rapidly today. In the past, teachers made children sit still for hours. They made them memorize all sorts of things. Today, many teachers wonder if it is not possible to make children learn at all. They say they can only help them to discover things for themselves. For some children, school is a kind of prison. They are at school only because their parents make them go. They get out of the classroom as soon as the teachers let them leave. Many of them want to find jobs but the law does not let them work until they reach a certain age. And so, they have to stay in school. Often they all hate every moment.

21 Kings' Street London NWS

August I5^th 2011                

Dear Sir / Madam.             

   With reference to your notice on the “University Bulletin”, I would like to apply for the part-time job as a librarian at your university during this summer holiday.

   I am in the third year of a four-year degree course in Business Administration at Bristol University. Last year I had to choose an optional subject and I opted for “Public Relations” with special reference to dealing with the public.

   While in high school, I was appointed to be in charge of my school library. Therefore I think I have got some experience in this field. In addition, I passed the Certificate of Proficiency in English and the Certificate of Computer Science last year.

   As I am aware that a librarian in a university has to have enough scope for his / her abilities of self-expression and of dealing with people.

   I, therefore, sincerely hope that you will give due consideration to my case and let me know your decision at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully.
