89. A Letter of Replying an Advertisement 广告应聘
March 20, 2002
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Li,
I read your advertisement, in yesterday's newspaper, about employing an English tutor for your ten-year-old son. I am interested in this job.
Now I am a freshman in the English Department of Beijing University. As for my English study, I am the best student in my class and have just passed the Band Four English Examination. Besides, I can speak English fluently. In addition, I have some experience as an English tutor. Last term, I helped a middle-school student with his English. The boy made rapid progress in three months, and got a high score in his final English examination, moving from 13th to 2nd in his class. Furthermore, I am a patient and responsible boy. I like teaching and know how to get along with younger people. I am sure your son can benefit a lot from my teaching and I am competent for this job. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Ye Fenghua
亲爱的李先生和太太：
我从昨天的报纸上看到你们为十岁儿子请英语家教的广告，我对此很感兴趣。
我现在是北大英语系一年级学生，至于英语学习，我在班里名列前茅，刚刚通过英语四级考试，英语口语流利。此外，我有做家教的经历。上个学期我为一名中学生辅导英语，他在三个月中进步很快，期末考试成绩提高很大，名次从班里第十三名提高到第二。而且，我是个有耐心和责任感的人，喜欢教书，会与年纪小的孩子打交道。因此，我相信，你的儿子一定会从我的家教中受益。我可以胜任这份工作。盼望你们的回音。
您的真诚的
叶锋华
