　　Directions: One of your friends wants to apply for a job involving working with foreign teenagers. Write a letter:

　　1) Recommend him/her,

　　2) Describe his/her past experience,

　　Dear Sir or Madam:

　　I am writing to you to recommend one of my best friends, Zhou Botong, for this post. He used to be my classmate at Tsinghua University, where he was already a very active organizer and participant in extracurricular activities.

　　First, with his outstanding leadership and cheerful personality, he was elected chairperson of the Student Union of our university several times. Second, busy as he was, he completed his major, teenage psychology, with an outstanding school record. Third, upon graduation he was assigned to be a teacher in Zhongguancun Middle School. What’s more, he loves his job and enjoys working with children. This has won him great popularity among his students.

　　Therefore, I do not hesitate to recommend him as an ideal candidate for the post you advertised. I am sure you will make a wise decision in hiring him.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　Hi! My name is Li Ming. I am very glad to have this chance to write to you and become pen pals.

　　First, let me first introduce myself. I’m currently working as a computer programmer in a large multi-national company. Second, I graduated from Beijing Normal University with a Bachelor’s Degree in computer science in 2004. While I enjoy my current job, I’m interested in pursuing a Master’s degree, and hope to begin graduate studies next September. Last, my hobbies include listening to pop music and traveling.

　　This summer, I will be traveling with Mr. Guo Jing to Norway. If you are free, I would be very happy to meet you in person. Well, let me finish here. I am already eagerly awaiting your reply. I hope that we can become good friends.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming

　　1、 向老師致以節(jié)日祝賀

　　2、 從一件難忘的事回憶老師的教誨和無私的奉獻(xiàn)

　　3、 我如何回報老師的關(guān)愛

　　(五)建議信：

　　Directions: You have a friend who is about to enter university, and he wants you to advise him on which subject to specialize in——history, in which he is very interested, or computer science, which offers better job prospects.

　　1) Give your suggestions,

　　2) Explain the reasons,

　　3) Other recommendation.

　　Dear Xiaoqiang:

　　You have asked me for my advice concerning whether you should study history or computer science at university, and I will try to make some useful suggestions.

　　You must keep in mind that, above all, your university training is a preparation for your future career. First, there is no doubt that the field of computer science offers far wider job opportunities than history. Second, for the foreseeable future, not only will it be necessary for everyone to be computer-literate, it will also be necessary to be equipped with computer skills merely to earn a living. Last, history, I’m afraid, however fascinating it may be, offers few career prospects.

　　Of course, I would recommend that you keep up your reading of history in your spare time.

　　Yours sincerely,

　　Li Ming
