Period Five　Writing—Writing an application letter

写作指导

申请信是书信的一种，主要以介绍个人情况为主，包括自己的姓名、年龄、身高、健康状况、业余爱好、特长、工作态度及人际关系等。一般说来，作文中会涉及以下几点：

(1)说明信息的来源。比如从报上得知或经朋友介绍等；

(2)介绍个人情况，包括自己的工作经历、个人专长及个人爱好等；

(3)表达自己对申请对象的期盼；

(4)用简明的句子表明自己的能力及奋斗目标。

在写作申请信时，还要注意：1.语气要诚挚友好，千万不要表现出强求的意思，诸如must，should 等一类词语尽量少出现；2.对于申请的内容和原因应尽量写清楚；3.期望得到回复的心情一定要表达出来，诸如“I would be grateful if you could...”一类的句式用在申请信上是再合适不过的。
