Form 5

Dear Mrs. Fortune,

I read your advertisement for an au pair in the International Times. I am very interested in the job. I would like to work in the USA this summer. I like children and I would like to look after your two sons.

My name is Anna Sentinelli, and I am nineteen years old. I live in Padua, Italy, with my family. We are a very big family. I have six brothers and two sisters. My mother does not go out to work because she has a lot to do at home. I am the oldest child in the family. When I am at home I help her with my younger brothers and sisters. My father is an engineer. His office is in Venice. He is not at home very often because he travels a lot for his job.

At university I am studying English and Russian. I want to be an interpreter. I like reading and cooking.

My university semester ends on June 15th and I go back on September 15th.

Yours sincerely,

Anna Sentinelli
