Dear team,
I am currently working as a teacher of English in one of the A-level schools in Shanghai, China. After I obtained my master degree in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, a top 50 university in the QS World University Rankings, I decided to become an educator since I believe as one of the most noble occupations, it can greatly contribute to human and social development as a whole. I’ve been teaching ESL courses and Standardized Language Tests such as IELTS and TOEFL for about ten years, during which I’ve marked tons of students’ writing pieces and helped them achieve a satisfactory score in the writing part of their tests. I heard about the role of technical writer for the first time from one of my friends from graduate school. Her description of the job made it sound really interesting. She also recommended the Apache OpenOffice Project to me, saying it is a friendly community where anyone who is interested in technical writing can get an easy start. As a technophile, I am enthusiastic about knowing every new release and update on technology products. So I think maybe I can combine my interest, expertise and experiences together to seek more personal development. When I found out about your volunteer project, I considered it might be a good way for me to get started and be actively engaged. I am looking forward to your further reply to see how I can contribute to the community. Kind regards, Keren
