Le 24/03/2011 à _____ nom adresse e-mail n°telephone Mrs,

As a 11th grade student in France, I am willing to study for an academic year in ______ high school from next September. Several reasons explain my aspiration to study in Philadelphia. First of all, I would like to improve my linguistic skills because I might use english while studying accounting later and my future career. Secondly, I would know better the American way of life and their culture because _________is a typical Americain high school. I'm impressed by the several activities proposed by your school notably the class of theology. It is very important to me to learn more about my religion from a different point of view. It is worth mentionning the American educational system is very different from the French one. Indeed, in France our class day is eighthour-long and we cannot choose any classes unlike in the US. But at the end of our frst year in high school we have to specialize in either of the three options: literature, scientifc and economics. I'm pursuing the scientifc option. Third, i really appreciate the campus, the city of Philadelphia and its green spaces that I visited with my family last May. Besides, we were delighted to meet you. Moreover, I have a friend that I met in France who introduced me to ________ high school. She was very glad with the quality of the education of _________ high school. For all these reasons, I hope i'm going to study in your school next September. Best Regards, signature
