Dear Sir / Madam,
I would like to apply for (申请) the job of tour leader for your Overland Africa tours.
I spent five months backpacking around Africa in 2021.I enjoyed meeting people,learning about local traditions,and visiting natural parks.I read and learned a lot about the culture,and I even learned Swahili and Afrikaans.
I also worked as a leader at a children's summer camp in south England.I worked there in 2020.I received training in climbing instruction and first aid.During this time,I developed many skills.For example,I had to make sure the children were always safe and happy,and I learned to help them make friends.
Finally,I completed the Active Youth Challenge.I did this while I was in high school in 2019.To complete the challenge (挑战),I firstly volunteered with a local organization.I helped at a social club for the elderly.The experience taught me to be patient and friendly.Secondly,I organized a four-day camping trip in the Scottish mountains.This experience taught me how to deal with problems like bad weather and getting lost.
I believe I have lots of useful experience as a guide for your Overland Africa tours.I would love to tell you more in an interview.
Yours faithfully,
Nicholas Rigby
