Activity 2: Writing an application letter
Dear Mr. Smith,
Learning an English Poetry Recitation Contest will be held in our school and that you want two hosts, I would very much like to be one of them.
I think I’m fit for the job. First of all, I have a good command of English. Not only can I speak English fluently, but I’ve also read a lot of English poems. Moreover, having hosted our school’s English speech contest three times, I am familiar with the work. What’s more, as a handsome boy of about 178cm in height, I have confidence in myself.
Thanks for your time. I would be grateful if you could give my application your kind consideration. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
