Dear Sara, My departure date for Canada is drawing near, and I am busy with preparations. I have enrolled at an institution called IDT English in Ottawa, for a four-month intermediate course, full-time. It is quite expensive, but I am hopeful that I will improve my pronunciation most of all. To assist in covering the costs of my study, I aim to find a part-time job. Not only are the college fees rather high, but also I know that rental accommodation in the capital city will not be cheap, to say nothing of food and heating expenses! So, I would very much like to arrange some temporary employment before I arrive. I was wondering if you could ask around among your friends and colleagues to see if anyone wants a house-cleaner, gardener, or nanny for their children. I know you have a wide social network in Ottawa which you could canvas for me, if you weren't minded. I'd be so grateful. I look forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes, Helen.
