在法國打工度假簽證的必備文件中，有些人認為健康聲明書是大魔王，但我認為最需要絞盡腦汁的是動機信。
當初寫動機信時，翻遍了網路上可以找得到的範例，所以抱持著回饋社會的想法，把我自己寫的動機信分享出來，希望能幫助到正在準備動機信的你。
動機信並沒有規定的格式，可以用自己覺得最適當的寫法，或是和我一樣，直接使用法國在台協會提供的範本。
申請者自我介紹
這段我簡單寫了工作和家庭背景，並提到自己有獨立在外的經驗，還有簡述我的興趣，這和後面的段落會有關聯性。
My name is Christine. I have been a marketing communicator for a TPEx-listed semiconductor company focusing on wafer testing for over six years. My job requires me to communicate in spoken and written English with foreigners both in the office and during business trips, so I am comfortable speaking in my second language.
When I was a student, I participated in an exchange program to Dijon for a few months. After graduating, I traveled to different countries for vacations every year. These experiences have made me confident that I can travel independently and find the right solutions for any problem.
I am unmarried and live with my parents in Hsinchu. My family is very supportive. They never stop me from chasing my goals, whether it is to live abroad or to train myself for a triathlon. In addition to my parents, I am very close with my brother, who is working in Taipei.
I am always enthusiastic about travel. What attracts me most is the scene and culture. Discovering the differences and similarities between Taiwan and the visiting countries is delightful. In recent years, my interest in sports, such as running, hiking, and climbing, has grown. I would love to find a way to combine traveling and sports.
到法國旅行的動機
動機和法國的關聯性越大越好，有人喜歡蓬勃發展的時尚產業，也有人喜歡各式精緻的美食與糕點。無論是喜歡的是什麼，請一定要寫出非法不可的理由。
若真的只是單純對生活在法國有憧憬，也請從法國眾多的特色中，挑一個最好發揮的下手，重點是要讓簽證官看得出來，為什麼選擇到法國打工度假，而不是其他國家。
France has always been the number one destination on my travel list. I love the atmosphere when walking around a village that maintains its middle-age style. I love the courage of French people to step out and fight for their rights. I also love how the French language sounds, even though I only understand a little of it.
I had a chance to be an exchange student in France in 2015 when I was in university. My biggest regret is that I didn’t take the opportunity to travel around France because of my financial status. I have always wanted to return to France and visit as many places as possible.
When I learned that Paris will host the Olympics in 2024, the idea of visiting France popped into my mind. Since I have a strong interest in sports and travel, it is a perfect way to achieve two of my dreams at the same time. I want to participate in the largest sporting event, the Olympic Games, and travel around France.
The deeper I dig, the more I think that taking a working vacation in France is the best way to combine sports and travel. France is not only famous for its food and history but also the home of sports I practice or am very into. As a climber for years, visiting Fontainebleau, which people call “the heaven of outdoor bouldering,” is a must for me. As a beginner cyclist who has watched the Tour de France documentary, watching it in person is much more exciting than sitting on the couch. As a car racing lover, visiting the museum about the 24 Hour race in Le Mans allows me to get closer to the history of racing. As a runner, I am about to run my first-ever full marathon in Paris at Marathon Pour Tous, a side event of the Olympic Games!
工作計畫
我把未來一年在法國的時間分成三個階段，分別是學法文、工作、旅遊。因為我不打算（也沒有足夠的法文能力）找比較正式的工作，所以打算以體力活的打工為主，因此就沒有特別著墨於求職這塊。
文字說明之後，再用表格依照月份寫出預計待的大區、想去的城市、想參加的活動。
打工度假簽證的正式名稱是 Visa Vacances-Travail ，法國政府把 Vacances 放在前面顧名思義就是希望我們以旅遊為主，所以我會覺得多強調旅遊和體驗文化會比較符合對方的期望。
My traveling plan can be divided into three phases: learning French, working, and traveling.
Phase 1: Learning French (August to November)
I will participate in the Olympic Games in Paris as my first stop. I am lucky to win a bib for the Marathon Pour Tous and have tickets for the badminton. After that, I will move to Montpellier because it is a young city full of students, and the weather is sunny throughout the year. I will take a language program for at least a month to enhance my French and use the resources from the language center to help me prepare for the job. Instead of renting a private studio, I plan to stay with a host family and immerse myself in French daily, which will help me quickly improve my speaking and listening skills.
Phase 2: Working (December to March)
I will find a seasonal job at a restaurant or hotel in the Alpes area in winter. While working there, I can enjoy the mountains and snowboarding while off duty. The goal is to save money for the following months to travel.
Phase 3: Traveling (April to July)
As the snow season comes to an end, I will use work exchange platforms such as Workaway and WWOOF to find projects that can accommodate me during my working period. This way, I can always move to different cities or villages and experience various ways of living with the locals.
好啦！獻醜完畢，其實寫這份動機信與其說是交作業給法協，我覺得它的價值在於強迫我們對未來一年的動向有個底，後面實際規劃行程時才不會像無頭蒼蠅一樣。
那就祝正在準備簽證的各位寫作文順利囉！
