Hi ! I'm interested in working on your project. I'm a classical musician myself and I think that some degree of knowledge and understanding towards music will help with the working process. I am also a professional freelance translator, fluent in English and Chinese, both Simplified and Traditional. I came upon with an idea of creating lyrics based on the Three Character Classic, the classic Chinese text with evident Confucianism suitable for teaching young children. Of course, it is unoriginal and boring just to apply the texts into the music. Therefore, we might as well develop stories or 'simplifies' the language into children-friendly lyrics - I think it is also a good occasion to introduce the historical and cultural importance of the aforementioned work. Another idea, is that to employ the history of the formation of certain Chinese proverbs or expressions, which are surprisingly educational at times. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss any further details about this project. Thank you for your kind attention. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Debora

Thank you for your attention. I’m writing to inquire about hiring possibilities of writing lyrics. I learned about this vacancy by searching in the programme list of www.freelancer.com. I’m confident to be an outstanding candidate in your program considered my education and experience. First and foremost, I had earned my title of Doctor of Philosophy in 2011, with a dissertation of comparative study in Chinese and American minority literature. Moreover, I had over two years’ experience in English to Chinese translation and teaching Mandarin for the second language learners. I also had conducted foreigner students’ management and served as a tutor for them in China. Furthermore, I has been playing violin for several years and can read music stave. When I was a volunteer language teacher in Kisaran, Sumatera utara, Indonesia, I successfully taught local students to be competent in basic Mandarin, including reading and writing, although they knew nothing about this complicated language before. Meanwhile, I successfully organized a beach volleyball game and barbeque for 80 foreign students when I served as a temporary secretary in International office of Hainan University in 2008, involved budgeting, transportation and coordination. In addition, I have life experiences in several countries and studied three foreign languages other than English so as to cultivate a deep cross-cultural understanding.

Hello, I would suggest the respect topic. Here is my lyric using at a dinning table: Foods are good, Friends are fine. Clean our plates, Clean our table, Clean our floor. While we eat, We love clean. ...... Foods were scarce in the past in china, so parents and school would encourage children clean their plates the best they could. Something like this would teach the language as well as the culture to foreign children who will learn the language.
