One possible version:
Dear Chairperson,
I’m Li Xing in Grade 8. I’m really excited to apply for the DIY Club in our school.
I love DIY a lot. It’s really fun! When I do DIY projects, I can make things with my own hands. It helps me relax after a long day at school. Also, it makes me feel really good when I finish making something new.
Last month, I made a photo frame. First, I found some cardboard and cut it into the right shape. Then I used coloured paper and stickers to decorate it. It took me a whole afternoon to finish it. But when I put my favourite photo in it and saw how nice it looked, I felt so happy and proud. I think I can have even more fun and learn a lot in the DIY Club.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes,
Li Xing

We usually use two kinds of money. One kind is made of paper and the other kind is made of metal. But in the past people used many things instead of money. Some countries used salt or tea. Other countries even used some animals. Today people in some places in the world do not use paper money all the time. On the island of Yap, people use the heaviest money in the world—Rai stones. They are round, white stones with a hole in the middle. The Rai stones do not come from this island. The Yap men have to go over the islands 600 kilometres away to get them.
