二、申请信
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,以便给对方留下好印象,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,而且要注意人称和时态的变化,避免出现逻辑混乱。具体写作结构如下:

Dear Michel,
I'm more than delighted to give you a hand and offer some practical suggestions at your request.
To begin with, it is necessary for you to consult some books concerning the traditional Chinese culture, thus broadening your horizons and equipping you for the coming competition. Secondly, why not watch some video clips? You are bound to get some inspiration from them as well.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm so excited to hear that China Daily is in need of some volunteers to introduce Chinese culture overseas that I can't wait to apply for the position.
As a citizen, it's my responsibility to make Chinese historical and cultural attractions known to the whole world.In addition, with an outgoing and openminded personality, it's easy for me to get along well with others.Last but not least, I have been to numerous famous scenic spots and my hometown is a famous historical and cultural city, where I often act as a volunteer tour guide to show foreign tourists around, from which I've gained relevant experience.
So, I firmly believe that I'm the very person you're looking for.I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration and reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
