A Letter of Application 一封申请信

Dear Mr. Smith,

Recently my friend, Mary Staley, who was once your student, told me that your school needs a Chinese teacher. I was very glad at the news for I like teaching students Chinese in the United States .

I was born in Chengdu, China on November 20, 1969. I studied English in Sichuan University from 1987 to 1991. After graduation I came to U.S. in 1991 and began to study in New York University in the same year. I took education as my major and in 1993 I got my Master's Degree . After that I began to work in high school. From 1995 to 1997 I taught in Central High School in New York. Since 1997 I have been teaching in Lincoln High School in Washington. I am an experienced teacher and I am healthy.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
