Select the correct phrase (A-H) for each numbered gap (1-8) and reconstruct the formal letter. One phrase is extra and will not be used.

[1] I am writing to apply for the English Language Scholarship advertised in last week's edition of The Language Learner magazine.

[2] My current level of English (B2) allows me to communicate effectively in academic settings, but I particularly struggle with writing complex essays and understanding idiomatic expressions.

[3] For this reason, I believe participating in your intensive writing workshop and cultural immersion program would significantly enhance my ability to prepare proper research papers in my field of environmental engineering.

[4] This financial support is crucial as international students in Canada cannot work off-campus during their first year of study, making it impossible to cover both tuition and living expenses independently.

[5] I would specifically benefit from the daily academic writing clinics and the opportunity to collaborate with native speakers on sustainability projects, as shown in your program brochure.

[6] Having volunteered as a bilingual guide during the COP26 conference, I am committed to using improved English skills to facilitate international scientific collaborations.

[7] I would be grateful if you could consider my application for partial funding to attend the full 8-week program.

[8] Yours sincerely, Carlos Méndez
