Task description: A job application letter in about 150 words

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing to apply for the position of Gardening Teacher as advertised in Infojob.

I have a degree as an Agronomic Engineer specialized in gardening from the University of Seville. I also have a Master's degree in Education from the University of Málaga, and some relevant experience in this field, as you will see in my attached CV. I was in charge of teaching in a range of gardening-related experiences.

I believe I am suitable for this position because both my experience and knowledge have allowed me to consolidate the bridging of theory and practice as well as to learn about the latest advances in gardening and education. I would welcome the chance of being part of your company.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at … I am available for interview any weekday and would be grateful if you would consider my application.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours faithfully,

Carmen de Paz Pérez
