Dear Simon,
I'm interested in the lifeguard job this summer.
11 could swim very well. 2 I couldn't swim when I was a child but I learnt when I was 12.
3 I can also remember lots of information and instructions very well.
I have some questions about the lifeguards you had last year. 4 They could talk to new
people easily? 5 I can so I think I am a good choice for this job.
Thanks,
Pablo
