Guten Tag,

ich habe vor ein work and holiday jahr in Japan zu verbringen,
Dafür benötige ich allerdings eine motivation Letter, welche auf Englisch geschrieben werden soll.

Da mein Englisch jetzt nicht wirklich das beste ist wollte ich einfach mal fragen ob ihr denkt, das mein Text aktzeptabel ist oder ich ihn doch lieber neu schreiben sollte.

Dear Sir and Madam,

I am Max Mustermann, and I just graduated from high school.

In the following, im going to describe how and why the idea of applying for a working holiday visa in Japan came to mind.

The first bond with Japan was tied way back when I was a little boy who enjoyed watching Dragonball on the TV. Since then, a lot has changed, but my fascination for the country has stayed the same.

I started dreaming about going on vacation there, which sadly couldt be fulfilled, due to several reasons. Now that my schooldays have come to an end, I started questioning what to do after. Soon the idea of traveling to Japan consolidated, and I wanted to absolve a year of work and travel.

After learning more about the traditions, gods, and spirits that can be found throughout the whole country my interest was caught. I want to experience first hand what its like to go to a shrine or learning from monks and priests, what inner peace realy means.

Of course, I also heard about Japan’s hospitality, kindness, and patience. It astonishes me that a whole country can have a reputation that good, so much that I want to spend the whole next year there.

I plan to explore a lot of different sides of Japan. A few destinations are for example, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Uji and Shimoda.

Furthermore, it is about being interested in Japans daily life, work, food, history, and what similarities and differences there are compared to Germany and the whole country itself.

I hope to improve my Japanese and learn a lot of interesting things in/about Japan.

Thanks for taking your time.

Kind regards,

MAx Mustermann
