Section Ⅴ Writing——写一篇申请信
◎
Dear Ms Smith,
I wish to apply for the position of a local tour guide as advertised in the Daily News on 30 June.
I’m very familiar with almost every inch of my home city,and have a passion for history.This role would enable me to help bring our history to life for visitors and promote local culture.As I plan to work in the tourism industry after graduation,I would welcome the opportunity to gain experience in this field.
As stated in my attached CV,I can speak both English and French fluently.English is my native language,and I’m majoring in French at university.I also attended an exchange programme in Paris last year,which further improved my French language skills.
Although I’m not a professional tour guide,I organised and conducted a tour of my city for exchange students from Paris.This included trips to a local leather workshop and a flour mill,for which my city is well known.I also put together a directory of useful information for them.I received excellent feedback for my work.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss my application further with you.I’m contactable via email at this address or by phone on 6747-9818.Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Josie Davis
