I'm from Germany. Does anybody have a few minutes to check if this text's grammar is alright?
Primary I would love to make cultural tasks my business - no matter if they have to do with historico-cultural topics or current culture. Writing texts for a leaflet or creating something like this would also be in my favour. I could imagine to work with children. If given the chance I would undertake tasks like organizing and leading through a workshop or other leisure activities. As I said in my motivation letter, I am interested in economy. Supporting the realization of tasks, which are connected with nature or economy at all would please me a lot. Great thing about being a volunteer is, having to deal very spontaneously with any tasks and without that much previous knowledge. To be almost always available, which teaches discipline and, in addition, to show a self-confident appearance and being authentic are also things, I had been around. You may just learn an incredible amount in a short time, because your everyday life changes from the first moment on almost completely. In addition, volunteering gives the chance to prove yourself - and that was probably the most important experience, that I've done in all my works, internships and similar occupations. Because, the more often you do something like this, the better it gets you acquainted with your abilities and trains your own personality in a very special way. I'm good at reading texts quickly and gather information. I know myself for most purposes well on the Internet. I can write good articles, no matter if short and crisp or long and detailed - they must be pleasant to read and that is actually what I can do. I've been told many times that I am good at organizing. I can usually work out without any major problems solutions, which pleases all. I am also quite well in the friendly dealing with strangers. I'm not too shy to ask someone for something or to speak with somebody I don’t know. I personally hope that I will gain many positive experiences at the project, to promote me on the way to a balanced and versatile educated personality. It is important to me, that I can say I have learned something linguistically, after and during the project, while having the feeling, that I show the people there a range of helpful service. Professionally, it is certainly a goal to get further practical knowledge in dealing with people. Also leading some sort of a regulated workflow is an experience, I would like to gain before my first day as a matriculated student. I have already been traveling a lot. Although I never stayed one month or more in a foreign country, I always was great fun to travel to foreign countries, which is also one of the reasons, which let me apply for this project. I always had in foreign countries the positive feeling, that I’m discovering something very new. I can also say, that I am open minded to other cultures and strange circumstances and I would not hesitate to cut my own attitudes. While my class-trip to London last week, I really felt in love with this town. I also visited Helsinki, Rome and Vienna the last years and had always a comfortable feeling in such big cities. I actually live in a small city. A larger town would certainly be a challenge, which would bring me little difficulty, but much motivation and much brightness in my everyday life there.

- I'm not an expert. But please check whether historico-cultural is right..., you can use historical and cultural. 2.Great thing about being a volunteer is, having to deal very spontaneously with any tasks and without that much previous knowledge-this sentence need to be re organized. 3. ...the better u get acquaited... 4. ...I fell in love... Honestly it was too long to read, but I tried , though.
- It’s annoying me that I did this yesterday and then failed to post it somehow. Sorry! Attempt #2. Since I don’t know the questions you’re answering I’ve tried to introduce some kind of structure which you can move around as you see fit, so do, if you think I have things in the wrong order, but watch out for „Primarily“ and „thirdly“ of course. My strengths: I've been told many times that I am good at organising things, and I can indeed usually work out solutions which please everybody. I‘m also quite good at dealing with strangers in a friendly way, and I'm not too shy to ask someone for something, or to speak with somebody I don’t know. I'm good at reading text quickly, and at information gathering; I know my way around knowledge sources on the internet. Without wishing to sound immodest, in creating material I believe I can now write good articles, too, whether short and crisp or long and detailed. I’m hopeful that they’re also pleasant to read! I‘ve already been lucky enough to travel quite a lot, and though I’ve never stayed in any one country for longer than about a month, it’s always been a huge adventure. Obviously, this is one of the main reasons which lead me to apply for the project. I've always had very positive feelings about other countries and their cultures, and that I’m discovering new and interesting things when I visit them. I’d also like to believe that I remain open-minded about other cultures and new circumstances; I certainly don’t feel that I have to cling fiercely to my own attitudes and opinions. My ambitions in respect to the Project: Primarily I‘d love to make cultural tasks my business, regardless if they had to do with historico-cultural topics or with current culture. Writing text for a leaflet or creating something like this would also be something I’d favour. I imagine I’d find a lot of satisfaction in helping through working with children. Given the opportunity, I’d like to undertake tasks requiring organisational skills, and leading through a workshop or perhaps through leisure activities. Thirdly, as I said in my ‘motivation‘ letter, I am interested in the economy, so helping support the realisation of tasks connected with nature or the economy in some way would please me greatly. What I believe I can gain from the Project: Having to deal very spontaneously with any tasks and without that much previous knowledge is sure to be a huge challenge, and having to make myself available to help people should teach me discipline and increase my self-confidence. I’m convinced it will be necessaary for me to learn an incredible amount in a short time, because my everyday life would change from the first moment of my involvement, but I welcome that challenge, and the chance to prove myself. Obviously, I hope I‘ll will gain many positive experiences from the project, to promote me on the way to being a well-balanced and versatile person. It‘s important to me also to think I’ll be able to learn something linguistically, both during and perhaps after, the project. Professionally, it is certainly a goal of mine to get further practical knowledge in dealing with people. I would dearly love to gain that experience before my first day as a matriculated student.
