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
