Letter of job application

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express an interest in the vacancy advertised in the Publication " Summer Job in the UK"

I am a 25-year-old student that has just completed a short course on garden design. Therefore, I have ample knowledge of gardening. Moreover, I am particularly fascinated in the cultivation of roses and the use of trees in landscape design.

As you will see from my curriculum vitae, I have a great deal of experience, which includes a temporary position on a campsite similar to those mentioned in your advertisement.

I enclose  a reference from my previous employer. Not only being a part of a team but also the experience of working abroad do I like.I would be delighted to know how many hours I would be expected to work per day as well as how long the contract would be for. I will be available to work from the beginning of July.

I look forward to receiving your reply.

yours faithfully,

one of the most interesting historical events in Vietnam

The Trưng sisters’ Revolt

The Trưng sisters were born in a rural Vietnamese village, into a military family. Their father was a prefect of Mê Linh therefore the sisters grew up in a house well-versed in the martial arts. They also witnessed the cruel treatment of the Viets by their Chinese overlords. The Trưng sisters spent much time studying the art of warfare, as well as learning fighting skills. When a neighbouring prefect came to visit Mê Linh, he brought with him his son, Thi Sách. Thi Sách met and fell in love with Trưng Trắc during the visit, and they were soon married.

With Chinese rule growing extremely exacting, and the policy of forcible assimilation into the Chinese mold during their expansion southward, Thi Sách made a stand against the Chinese. The Chinese responded by executing Thi Sách as a warning to all those who contemplated rebellion. His death spurred his wife to take up his cause and the flames of insurrection spread.

In AD 39, Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị, after successfully repelling a small Chinese unit from their village, assembled a large army consisting mostly of women. Within months, they had taken many (about 65) citadels from the Chinese, and had liberated Nam Việt.They became queens of the country, and managed to resist subsequent Chinese attacks on Việt Nam for over three years.

Their rebellion was short lived, however, as the Chinese gathered a huge expeditionary army under the veteran general Ma Yuan to suppress the rebellion. The Trưng sisters were defeated and committed suicide by drowning themselves in the Hát River in AD 43.

According to legend, Phùng Thị Chính, a pregnant captain of a group of soldiers who were to protect the centre of Việt Nam, gave birth on the front line. With her baby in one arm, and a sword in the other, she continued to fight the battle. She committed suicide along with the Trưng sisters and also took her newborn baby's life.

The Trưng Sisters are highly revered in Vietnam, as they led the first resistance movement against the occupying Chinese after 247 years of domination.
