学案(四)申请信
[题型技法] (学一学)
申请信有很多种，比如求职申请、加入某组织或活动的申请、报考申请、留学申请等。
写申请信的目的在于让对方了解自己的经验、能力、成就、愿望等，所以个人情况的介绍应该是申请信的核心内容，应尽可能向对方说明本人的长处，以便留下好印象，获得面谈的机会。
由于此类题目常有较多的文字提示，写作时除应注意格式上的要求外，也应注意审题全面，不能遗漏要点，并要注意人称和时态的变化，避免出现逻辑混乱。

Dear Ms Chen，
①I’m Li Hua, a student from Class 2, Grade 3. ②I’m writing to apply for the position as a student volunteer.
③As a student, it is my responsibility to contribute to my school. ④Admittedly, volunteering is a good method, which is beneficial to not only the school’s construction, but also the individual’s development.
⑤Since here comes an opportunity and I have enough time for dedication, I’d like to take the position.
⑥Considering my personal conditions, I confidently think I am capable of the position. ⑦First, I have industriousness and endurance, which are necessary qualities for volunteering. ⑧In addition, I am outgoing and easy to cooperate with, so I can coordinate well facing emergencies. ⑨Last but not least, I specialize in English and it will be useful while working.
⑩Looking forward to your reply!
Yours truly，
Li Hua [阅卷评点]
③此句中，“it is＋n.＋to do”句型的正确使用体现了作者扎实的英语功底。
④Admittedly的正确使用着实体现了作者深厚的词汇积累，which引导的非限制性定语从句，“not only ...but also ...”的使用为文章锦上添花。
⑤此句运用了倒装句，以here开头用完全倒装结构，属于高级表达。
⑥现在分词“Considering sth.”作状语，接着在think后面接一个宾语从句，使得句子更加复杂化，更加高级，体现了作者驾驭语言的能力。
⑦industriousness, endurance这两个词用得非常地道，这样的高级表达是文章表达细微处的一个亮点。
⑨Last but not least, specialize in的地道运用，以及while working这个省略句的正确使用使得句子更加地道和专业。

参考范文：
Dear Sir/Madam，
I am Li Hua, an 18-year-old girl from Senior Three. I hear some American students are coming to study in our school for two weeks. I am writing to apply for the opportunity to become a host family.
The following are our advantages. First, I’m open-minded and like to make new friends. Second, my parents speak English so fluently that they have no difficulty communicating with native speakers. Third, we have a large apartment where there is an extra room for a guest. More importantly, last month we received two American students, through which we gained a lot of experience.
I think it is a chance to improve my English and learn about new culture. Please give us a chance. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua。
