Dear Sydney University,

I am writing to apply for a place on the eight-week intensive English course for
foreign students offered by Sydney University in the south of England. I have been
studying English for several years in my own country and I am aware that I would
greatly benefit from an intensive course.

I have chosen to apply to Sydney University for three reasons. Firstly, I am

impressed by the college's reputation for excellence in English language teaching. I
have read many positive testimonials from former students who have praised the
high quality of teaching and the supportive learning environment.

Secondly, I am particularly drawn to the college's location in the south of England.

I have been eager to visit this part of the world for a long time, and I am convinced
that an eight-week stay in an English-speaking environment would be the best
approach to enhance my language proficiency.

Finally, I am thrilled about the chance to gain knowledge about British culture and
society. Specifically, I am fascinated by British history, literature, and music. If I
study English in the southern region of England, I will have an exceptional
opportunity to experience these things firsthand.

I am a highly motivated and hardworking student with the skills to succeed in your
course. I am also a good team player and always willing to assist others. Please find
enclosed a copy of my CV, giving further details of my educational qualifications
and work experience. I would be grateful for the opportunity to discuss my
application with you further. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Lymlo
