3)求职信
求职信属于公务信函,格式和用词比较规。信的内容大体上分为三部分 ①写信的目的, ②自我介绍, ③要求。
注意下面几点:
①写信的目的要直截了当地在信的开头提出。
②自我介绍部分主要介绍自己的学历、工作经历、解决问题的能力等等。在行文、用词上要表现出自信、恳切的态度,语言简明扼要,突出介绍自己的优点,与众不同的特长或有利条件。还要紧扣用人单位的需求,巧用词语,有国地说服对方,此职非你莫属。
③最后提出进一步联系的途径,如:时间、地点。还可以主动提出接受面试或考核等。 ④求职信在写作特点上主要用第一人称以及动词的一般现在时。如: Ms Li Ling P.O.Box 231 Beijing

As a second language, I can read and speak a little French. I have some work experience as a typist in my spare time at school, and as a tourist guide during summer holidays. The bosses I worked for were all satisfied with my work. I am sure I'll satisfy you as well. You can get more information about my studies and work from the college. I am looking forward to visiting your office at any time for a talk or a test.
Faithfully Li Ling 3)回信

Thanks for your letter. Yes, I have some difficulty in learning English. For example, I can't tell the difference between written English and spoken English. Sometimes I often make mistakes while speaking to others. I want to improve my spoken English. But I don't know how. Would you please give me some advice? As you say, it is really difficult to write toe Chinese characters,

Dear Dr Helper,
I am a Senior 3 student. I am now in great need of your help because I can hardly stand the great pressure.
Every day I have to stay at school for nine hours to have lessons and spend at least three to four hours doing my homework at home . We teenagers are eager to play and enjoy ourselves,but we hardly have any time to do what we want. Besides ,we even don’t have enough sleep . There seems to be three causes about the overload ;the pressure of examinations ,too much homework and the high expectations from the parents . We are often warned that if we don’t do our best, we won’t have the chance to go to university.
