The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state ___1___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___2___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___3___ out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, keep in ___4___ that the things a possible employer is most ___5___ to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___6___ the first few sentences fail to ___7___ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be ___8___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___9___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___10___ in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___11___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___12___ your product and why they like it. ”

Try to ___13___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___14___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___15___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___16___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___17___.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___18___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___19___ is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___20___ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

Dear Dad,

I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  46 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  47 with me. This has made me  48 very carefully about myself, and now I  49  how silly I have been.

My poor  50 have come from my own  51 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  52  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   53  on the subject and I stop  54  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  55 , but I know that I must not  56 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard  57  the next few months, I am going to get  58 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  59 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.

I  60 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   61 _ I will control the time I   62 on it properly.

If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  63 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  64 my schoolwork.

Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  65 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.

Yours,

Jimmy
