Model Answer 1:

Mr Roberts Mill,

I am Robinson Neil, a post-graduate student at the University of Michigan. My college teacher Mr James Light has recently recommended you as one of the best teachers to learn Spanish from and I am writing to express my interest to learn the language from you.

My grandfather is from Spain and I have a plan to work there for at least two years before I get back to the USA again. Since I have a plan to work in Spain after my post-graduation, I want to learn the language. Mr James is one of the best teachers and fatherly figures to me and he specifically mentioned you when I expressed my interest to learn Spanish a few days ago. Hence I am writing to request you to be my Spanish teacher.

I can start right away but that would depend on your schedule. I am expecting that you will take me under your wing and guide me with your vast knowledge and experience to learn Spanish.

Yours sincerely,

Robinson Neil

Model Answer 2:

Mr Alfred Ben,

I am Lina Lee, a student of Mr Robrt. He has recently referred me to you and I would like to learn French from you. I have heard many inspiring stories of your teaching style and would like you to spare some of your precious time for me.

I would like to learn French because this is one of the most prominent languages in the world. And this is more popular in the European region in line with English. I also have a plan to visit France next summer. Being familiar with the language will help me to communicate effectively with the people I meet there. I heard that you are highly experienced in teaching the French language. And I also came to know that you were a former teacher of the language at a French learning school. Hence, it would be great if you teach me the language.

I can start from the next Friday and I prefer evening hours if it is convenient with. I hope you would allow me to get in touch with you and learn the language.

Yours sincerely,

Linda Lee
