Possible version
Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw your advertisement, and I’m writing to sign up as a student volunteer to help international students.
I would like to be a volunteer because I think it would be fun and interesting to meet students from other countries. I want to make them feel happy and comfortable at our school. I am a friendly and patient
person. I can speak English well, and I know a lot
about our local culture and places. I don’t have much volunteer experience yet, but I am a fast learner and
I really want to help.
For when to start, I am free next week and I can adjust my schedule(调整日程安排)to fit the programme. I believe volunteering is a great way to make new friends and learn new things.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Flora
Dear Sir or Madam,
I saw your advertisement, and I’m writing to sign up as a student volunteer
for international students.
I want to be a volunteer because I like making friends and I want to share Chinese culture with the international students.
I have many matching skills. For example, I'm very willing to help others. And I’m familiar with Chinese dance and calligraphy. Also, I can speak good English. Besides,I’m outgoing and good at expressing myself, so I won’t be nervous when introducing things. Most importantly,I once volunteered at the
city library last year. I helped foreign visitors find books and introduced local
customs to them, so I have basic volunteer experience.
I'm free every weekend, so I can start this weekend. I think it is a very meaningful job. I'm looking forward to getting your reply.
Yours, ...
