Sorry I had to leave this as a second comment because the first was too long. But!
Nice job. This is a good start for a cover letter especially if English isn't your first language. That being said, I tried to be very hard on you since this is for a professional job application. I was grading much harder than a casual student so please don't feel discouraged if all the corrections look bad. In fact, many of the things I changed were acceptable English but I changed them to something that sounds more professional.
For more general advice, I would also recommend reading advice on writing cover letters in English speaking job markets. The beginning of your cover letter is perfectly find as far as the English is concerned but you are repeating information they already know about. You want your first sentence or two to tell them more about you to get their interest or they may not bother to read the whole thing.
For example, to start you could say something like: Having worked for X company as a Y job in the past..... Then say something that relates to the job you are applying for and connect it to the position and job posting. You are still making it clear what you are interested in while giving them something to be interested in as well. Of course this is just my opinion on the matter as are many of my corrections but you seem very passionate about this position so I hope this is advice that helps. Best of luck!

I would like to apply for the tea guide position which was advertised on “Indeed ( http://ca.indeed.com )” I hope to contribute a passionate interest in tea and a reliable attitude based on a deep understanding of customers are my focal points which will contribute to your company.
Currently, I am a job seeker interested in the Tea industry in Canada. I have a working holiday visa, and I am keen to find a position in which I can learn about how the tea industry functions and what kinds of tea would be preferred by people in Canada.
I have studied tea on my own since tea blending with Chamomile helped to cure the insomnia my mother suffered from. Every time I had a chance, I took part in every exhibition about tea to learn about many kinds of tea and tea companies. When I got a job in China, one of the famous countries producing tea, I took advantage of tasting various kinds of white, black and dark tea such as Lapsang souchong, Baimudan, and Da Hong Pao etc.
I have working experience in an overseas sales department. For approximately one year, I have learned how to contact foreign customers and strove for meeting their expectation for about a year. Little by little I steadily have learned frequent communication between customers and sales clerks is the most important thing through my experience. In addition, my duties were conducted in collaboration with my associates, so I am quite accustomed to team work as well. As we had a lot of customers there, I had to adjust quickly to a fast-paced work environment. I think these traits will allow me to adapt me to your company's unstoppable team quickly.
Additionally, I am proficient at speaking Chinese and Japanese. I also can offer a great service to customers who are not familiar with ordering (Alternatively: not comfortable with ordering) in English. As such, you will find I can cover the diverse needs of many of your customers. Though I am not in Canada yet, I can be reached by Skype or an e-mail (from a professional standpoint I would suggest only giving your email. For example: I can be reach by email at name@******.com where we can discuss further contact options if necessary.). I will be in Canada on October 15th.
Thank you for your attention, and I am looking forward to hearing back from you about this opportunity.
Sincerely0 votedSeptember 14, 20170- Para aprender japonés Hace poco, empezó clases con un maestro nuevo. Ahora, estoy estudiendo japonés porque he vivido en Japón por dos años. Hasta este momento estudí casi sola. Fue economico pero no lo entendia todo. Había varias temas que aprendí pero no podria usarlas correctamente. Así quiero continuar mis clases con este buen maestro. También, tiene muchas ideas divertidas por las lecciones. Puedo usar mis libros para estudiar sola. Creo que es más importante de practicar conversacion con otra persona así que practico vocabulario y gramatica que ya se aprendió. Luego decidí traducir mis ensayos en castellano para no olvidar este idioma también. Creo que tengo el mismo problema. Por más de diez años he estudiado el castellano en México, Peru y Puerto Rico sin embargo hace cinco años desde la ultima vez. A la gente japonesa, el castellano no se interesa mucho y no conozco a nadie que lo habla. Por lo tanto me equivoco frequentamente sin correcciones. Pues empezaré a escribir cada semana. Además que difícil es escribir el castellano con un teclado japones!September 14, 201710
- It's very similar to the Spanish r if you're familiar with that. English has a very unusual r compare to most languages. It is sort of pronounced toward the back of the mouth and uses the whole tongue. Instead many language use an R that is pronounced by tapping or flicking the roof of your mouth just behind your teeth with the tip of your tongue. Have you ever tried making a rolled r? For me once I mastered rolling r's, the short version like they use in Japanese became much easier for me to say.0 votedSeptember 5, 20170
Living in other cities! (Or: Living in another city)
Moving to another city is something that probably will change your life. The reason being when you move out you should be open to getting to know a different place, to making new friends, and to familiarizing yourself with another way to live your life. Overall, you should mostly feel weird cause it's not easy take our things and go to another place which we don't know much about. Although, after the first impression, you start to accept it and start to enjoy the experience. You will understand how it's good having the opportunity to reinvent yourself!Yellow text is corrections of mistakes Green text is suggestions to sound more natural
Nice job. My only advice is to be careful that you are using enough words to make sense. I also want to know if you have you lived in many different cities? :)
0 votedMarch 12, 20171Why We Are Lacking Enough Confidence?
I have met many foreigners through the power of the Internet. Almost everyone asked me what my name was, and I knew they just meant my English name instead of my Chinese name until one person asked for my Chinese name. He told me he thought Chinese culture was so amazing and that he liked it. It was then that I realize how stupid I was.
When exactly did we lose our confidence? Since we were defeated by those countries which were much stronger than ours? But our numerous ancestors had already done everything that they could do as the price of a country's weakness. Nowadays, China is strong enough to protect every Chinese person, including you and me. Shouldn't we be more confident? While looking at most Chinese local brand names with their exotic colors, I feel down; while buying those imported daily necessities, I am ashamed. Obviously, we can do well in some areas, so why do we spend so much more money to buy those imported goods?
As a member of the new generation of China, I hope that I can learn more things including English and then give a little help to the Chinese Renaissance. It seems weird and childish, but I believe that it won't be a naive dream. It's a pity that our generation cannot be confident enough to focus on our own culture because China is still a developing country, whereas our offspring must do so sooner or later. I am waiting as we all are.Yellow text is corrections of a mistake. Green text is suggestions to sound more natural.

I have a question.
Could I install a window mounted air conditioner in the window of this room?
I am worried that we cannot install one in a
wooden window frame.
If we cannot, could you share any other ideas you have about that?
As we have a one-year-old boy, we are concerned about how to pass our time in the summer.Yellow text is corrections of mistakes. Green Text is suggestions to sound more natural.
0 votedMarch 10, 20171Could the Alhambra be considered a wonder of the world?
Hello! I am Nana and I am going to talk about the topic which has been chosen in this discussion forum: ‘The Eighth Wonder of the World’.
From my point of view, this worldwide privilege must be given to the Alhambra. It was built in the first half of 11th century.
This Arabic palace, which has received a great number of reforms over time, rests at the edge of the Sierra Nevada, in Granada, Spain.
I suggest you come and see it. It is so great and touching. Water and art are mixed in a combination of elegance, culture and timeless beauty.
Why would I choose this monument in the first place?
1st The stones of its walls talks about legends and myths.
2nd Poets and novels felt in love with those romantic and heroic adventures about sultans and princesses, as was the case with Washington Irving and his Tales of the Alhambra.
3rd Sunlight draws large, balanced, golden and ageless reflections through its horseshoe arches and courtyards.
The Alhambra is eternal as eternal is its soul, by this, and because there isn’t anything like on the earth, it deserves to be consider a world wonder.
If you come to Granada you will experience magic and passion: It is called the Alhambra. Then, you will able to understand when the beauty and passion are born, where the moon projects images which conjure the power and the attraction of the immortality.
For all that, I take a chance on the Alhambra, a stately palace which is able to evoke the most unprecedented dreams.I liked a lot of the phrases you used here to convey the magic of this place. Even if they weren't always perfect the mistakes were pretty small. Yellow changes are corrections. Greens changes are more like suggestions, meaning your grammar may have been okay but I tried to make it sound more natural. Red means I had trouble understanding the English so I didn't want to make any changes but if you try again or shared what you want to say in Spanish I would be happy to take a look.
