I'm from China and not very good at english speaking skill,but I'll have an interview this Thurday applying for an english teacher's job,and the company will demand us to have a briefly introduction of my teaching experience,all are as following,I'm very pleased for your looking through and pointing out all my mistakes here.
"Hello everyone,I'm spring and I'm 28 years old,graduated from Hebei Science and Techonology University and now have been working as an english teacher for more than a year,when I find an opening of english teachers in your place,I wanna have a try.
I love english and always ready to collect english songs and stories and I'm willing to share all of them with my students,by the time I see there can be somewhere the songs and stories can be used in the class,I read through all the target information of each unit in the textbook and find the place where they can be combined perfectly,and then I had a try run,and it was very successful!One day some students came to my office and said the song I sang for them and the stories I read had made they think of starting to learn English,because they just can't help singing and reading with us,hehe,very interesting.you can imagine how happy I was!
I used songs or stories at the beginning of each unit to have them know the target information and then after a little more effect on vocabulary,they can even take my place to stand in front of the class and be a teacher,what do you think they would feel? all of these are just because I love english and it just has a little effect on the people around me,english is fun,isn't it?
that's all I like to say,thanks very much for taking your time to listen to me,if any openings like english teachers,please call me at 13292632096.thanks very much and I'm looking forward for your reply.

okay Spring. My take on your introduction is listed below the stuff in parenthesis are my questions.
"Hello everyone. My name is Spring and I am 28 years old. I graduated form Hebei Science and Technology University (how many years ago?)and have been working as an English Teacher for the more than a year now. I came across an opening for an English Teacher with your organization and decided that I would like to apply.
I love English and have always collected English songs and stories to utilize in teaching my students. I read through all of the target information for each unit in the textbook and look for places where these songs and stories can be combined with the text. I have tried this in the past with much success! One day some of my students even came to my office to tell me that the songs I sang for them and the stories I read made them think about learning English because they just couldn't stop signing them and they so enjoyed reading and signing with my class! Very interesting, can you imagine how very happy I was to hear this?
I use songs and stories at the beginning of each unit to get the students interested in knowing and learning the target information. After they become familiar with that we focus on vocabulary, they can even take my place at the front of the class and be a teacher, how do you think this makes them feel? I do this because I love English, it is fun isn't it?
That's all I would like to say, thanks so much for your time. If there are any openings for English Teachers please call me at 13292632096. Thanks very much and I look forward to your reply."
I hope this helps you and good luck!

Spring I'm assuming that you are speaking this like in an interview. Is that right? Because the grammer will have to be different if someone will be reading it.
