Sample
Dear fantastic Films,
My name is song Lin and I am fifteen years old. I live in a town in western China. I read your ad and I decided o send you a letter. I have always wanted to be an actor. When I was five years old, I used to sing songs and read poems to my family. In school, I have acted in many plays and I have also taken classes in acting. Last year, I was given an award by our town for my performance in the play Let’s Dance. I think I could be a good actor, because I am interested in people and the way they think. If I can study acting in your school, I am sure that I can learn the thing I still need to become a good actor. Becoming a star is not so important to me, but I would love to spend my life working in the film industry. I want to make films that show people how beautiful life can be and make people smile and happy. Thank you for giving me this chance, I hope you will choose me as one of the students for your school.
Yours sincerely,
Song Lin
