My motivation letter for an internship at Rolls Royce Hi, this is a motivation letter I wrote to apply to an internship at Rolls Royce. It's a real dream for me to work for them and I want my letter to be perfect, thank you for helping me with that. "Object : Motivations to apply to a 6 months Engineering Internship at Rolls Royce in February/March 2019. (Job ID: *******) October 26, 2018, Paris Dear Sir or Madam, I write in response to one of your internship offer, seeking for an intern in the assembly area. As a future engineer and a car enthusiast, I would bring a hard-working attitude to this role. I’ve been studying complex physics and mathematics in the best educational program in France called « Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles » during 3 years after my high school graduation, and then integrated a 3 years program engineering school with a mechanical engineering specialization to be able to solve the most challenging mechanical problems in my future job. In particular, my skills on the CAD software Solidworks may match your requirements in term of component design or assembly engineering. Your internship offer is a real opportunity for me. Being able to be a part of your team to find solutions to the problems you can face would be a scholar achievement. Above from my education, I’ve always been a huge fan of automotive excellence. I was born with the passion for cars, and I now realize that I want this passion to become my full-time job. I’m hardworking, dynamic and persevering whenever I’m passionate about the subject I’m working on. It’s also easy for me to join a new team as I like to interact with people in general. I would love to find out more about your expectations and how I could help as fast as possible. Thank you for your time, I’m looking forward to hearing from you, Best regards, Gilles *****"

Music make me love the world !

Hey Italkiers !

Just a quick entry to tell you what I have in my heart (and in my ears) right now. I'm supposed to sleep because it's a bit late here in France, but god, I just wanted to listen to good music before sleeping, and I found an outstanding performance of the guitarist John Mayer and Brenna Whitaker, a singer. It's very hard to put into words what I feel listening to that, but that's a sort of deep good feeling. I'm really into music, I love music and I listen to a lot of different style of music, but I really didn't know music could do that to me. And it's just a Youtube video. I can't imagine being there during the concert, I could've lose consciousness.

This entry is perhaps not very interesting for you, but I had to tell my feelings, and it allowed me to practice my English haha ! Feel free to correct and answer me :)

If you want to hear that, here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NONoQSrgTwo The part I'm talking about is the part from 15:10. And yes it's an amateur video, but the sound quality is good enough ! :)

Do you play any instrument ?

Hello italkiers !

Since I'm into music and especially guitar, I was wondering : Do you play any instrument ?

Or have you ever wanted to play any instrument ?

Here is one of my little videos on Youtube :

Have you ever dreamt in the language you learn ?

Hello Italkiers !

Last night I dreamt in English for the first time and my native language in French. I was driving and another car hit me. I came at his window and just began to speak to him in English naturally.

Have you ever dreamt in another language ? And do you think that's a good sign ?

Am I crazy ? :)

Hey Italkiers ! :)

I was bored in my bedroom tonight, so I decided to go in my car and think about things, alone. And I asked myself "What do you want to do now ?". The first thing which came to my mind was to start the engine and travel the world. However, travelling the world alone could be depressing, so then I thought : I have to buy a bus, to invite the Italki community to travel the world with me and we will discover the world together !

Am I crazy ?

Feeling depressed tonight. Hello world :) Tonight I feel kind of depressed, and I have to tell someone my feelings and I thought Italki was a great place for that purpose. I have too much things to do for school for tomorrow, but I just can't focus on what I'm doing. Moreover, I'm very tired. Sometimes I want to escape from my life, to be far from myself. But unfortunately, I just can't. Indeed, we all have to follow a sort of "line" to try to be successful in life. We are pushed by a desire of succeeding, but today I feel like if I was in jail. In addition, it's getting colder and colder in Paris, and it's now getting dark very soon as we are getting closer and closer to winter. It could be one of the reason of my little "depression" ! At least, it made me practice my English ! :)

Translation entry ! Hi ! This is my translation of a French excerpt. The most efficient way to learn Japanese which came to me was to teach French. I left a little ad in the supermarket "Private french lessons, attractive price." Phone rang the same evening. The appointment was set up for the next day in a Omote-Sando's café. I understood nothing of his name, he didn't get mine either. When I hung up the phone, I realized that I didn't know how we would recognize us. Moreover, as I didn't had the thought to ask for his phone number, it will be even harder. I thought "Perhaps he'll call me back for this purpose". He didn't. The voice sounded young. It didn't helped me. Youth was omnipresent in 1989 in Tokyo. This was even truer in this Omote-Sando's at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Thank you ! :)

Why do people need to show off their lives ? Thanks to social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, it's a lot easier for people to interact and to stay connected with their friends. However, nowadays I feel like people use these social networks to show how beautiful are their lives, how much money they spend during a night or other stuff like that. By the way, Snapchat seems to have been designed with that aim only, which is kind of sad. To me, the behavior of these persons could be a consequence of a lack of self confidence.

What are the most extreme temperatures you have ever known ?

Hi ! :)

First, is my title correct ?

It's getting very hot here in Paris, and I was wondering : What are the most extreme temperatures you have ever known ? (Lowest or highest or both of them :) )

Where am I going to spend my summer holidays ? I'm currently looking for the destinations of my next holidays and the thing is that I don't have enough money to go to another continent. Another thing is that I don't want to go in a city full of tourists. I recently fell in love with an island named Socotra, which belongs to Yemen. This island seems absolutely gorgeous. I let you check out the picture I've linked with this entry. The flora and fauna of this island is quite unique and the beaches are simply stunning. Tourism is not very developed out there, so the island is still "clean" and well preserved. There are very few tourists there because of the current Yemen political situation. Indeed, it is said that there are training camps which belong to Al-qaida there so it might be dangerous to go there. I really hope to visit Socotra someday, and I surely will ! :)
