IELTS writing All children should study a foreign language in school, starting in the earliest grade Nowadays the world knows well the meaning of globalization, and many different people and cultures communicate everyday for work and leisure. To be up to the date with this trend is absolutely necessary for every single person to learn at least one foreign language. The school can do a lot to prepare properly children to be suitable to today’s reality. If a child start to learn a new language in the earliest grades, he will be probably able to speak it fluently in adulthood, and this will be a very important advantage for his work and his sociality. Moreover learning a new language, especially studying in a speaking country, could mean not only a cultural exchange, but also a noticeable life experience: dealing with other people from all over the world can give the chance to gain a new perspective to apply in everyday’s life, and to be more openminded. English language is actually taught in many non-English speaking countries all over the world in the earliest grades, but many children and teenagers cannot really speak it fluently, even if they have a good grammar. All we need to really learn a new language is practice, and the best way to do it is to have a direct confrontation with a native speaker. It doesn’t mean necessarily to fly to another country: today we have many different ways to do language exchange, thanks internet and many dedicated websites, where you can find a lot of interesting people from all over the world, ready to help you in improving your language skills, and open to learn your native speaking language.

cover letter for DUBLIN! VERY IMPORTANT! Thank you :) I find your works very modern and innovative. I often look into your website to view your updated work. I found your work particularly interesting because of sensitivity to the relation with the sites, both in urban scale planning, both in the design of private houses. I really appreciate your way to match the attention to the use of renewable energy and sustainable environmental design with the real needs and budget of the clientsm as in Balcurrius and Watermint sustainable housing schemes. I completely agree with your approach to the renovation of Fergal house, for your attention to worth the existent building, the sensivity to add a new contemporary extension to the house, and for the careful interest in the client's needs.

move to Ireland Hello everybody! :) I'll move to Ireland on next September and I'll stay in Dublin for one month. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you

cover letter part 3 Therefore I would be very keen on being able to have the opportunity to work in your studio, have the chance to absorb from your past and current experiences and learn more about your vision and ways of doing architecture. I'd be very glad if you considered the possibility of allowing me to be part of your studio and would be enthusiastic about being able to work with you. I do anyhow also hope to be able to be an asset and be able to bring another academic background to your studio, given my Italian University and work experience. The opportunity to work in an international office, learn a new language and live in a capital like Lubiana, would be a great experience not only on a professional, but also on a personal basis. Allow me to thank you in advance for your time and attention . I wish you a pleasant day and shall attend your reply soon. Best Regards Mariarosaria Ritonnaro

cover letter part 2 this is the part I try to "customize" for every single office, to demonstrate how I'm really interested in their work. I know it's cynical... find your works very modern and innovative. I often look into your website to view your updated work. I found your work particularly interesting because of sensitivity to the relation with the sites, both in urban scale planning, both in the design of private houses. I appreciate HOUSE K, that neatly accommodates in a longitudinal volume every function of the house, by the use of sliding doors. I find HOUSE J and HOUSE HB brilliant for the relation with the hillside: in House J the inclusion of the house’s volume in the land creates inwardly an emotional lighting; House HB discreetly overlooks on the surrounding nature, without invading or defacing the landscape. In the number of urban planning projects my favorite is Spark Bratislava, for the attention to solar issue, which shapes a special volume, “broken” by the windows shielding. I totally agree with your philosophy “All we find are conditions”, because I strongly believe this is the only way to do a good architecture: first the site and the people define the project, despite any formalism. I really admire the way you transform every conditions you find in an original architectural solution, and the explanations of the concepts behind your projects are very complete and well structured.

Cover letter part 1 My name is Mariarosaria Ritonnaro. I'm a 25 year old Italian architect, graduated in May 2011 at the "Università Federico II” (Naples). My thesis and all my studies at University were focused on the sustainability of my projects, thanks to guidance of Professor Arch. Sergio Pone, who followed me through in this approach, that I like to think of as the future core idea of my works. I started to work soon after my degree, accepted by Giuliana Morelli ‘s interior design studio in Naples, where I had the opportunity to learn and absorb a specific approach to projects that has its core idea in environmental sustainability, this through the guide of competent staff and expert craftmen. In January 2012 I started to work in Salerno, at the Ritonnaro costruzioni srl, my family’s construction company, where I was able to observe other aspects of an architect’s work, dealing with issues with a more pragmatic attitude. In this city I had the opportunity to work side by side with different professional figures, especially with the ASNOVA associated studio, where I learned new organizational skills and how to deal with heavy work loads and handle deadlines. In order to offer you a more complete vision on my previous studies and my present and past work career, I have attached my cv and my portfolio to the present email, hoping they may give you a more precise overview.
