[試題呈現]
假設你的名字叫李華,今年18歲,想利用暑假打工,你在報紙上看到了某咖啡廳的招聘廣告。請根據報紙內容寫一封120~150字的求職信。
注意:1. 框內為李華個人的相關信息;
2. 信的開頭已為你寫好,不計入總詞數。
[謀篇布局]
求職信屬于公務信函,其目的在于讓聘用方了解自己的經驗、能力、成就以及愿望等,所以對個人情況的介紹應該是求職信的核心內容。應盡可能向對方說明本人的長處,以便留下好印象,獲得面談的機會。
求職信一般包括以下幾個方面的內容:
首先闡述清楚招聘信息的來源,以及所申請的具體職位;
其次簡述個人信息;然后進一步強調自己的能力,表達抱負;
最后提出自己的希望,希望得到面試的機會。
求職信的語言屬于正式用語,在寫作過程中一定要注意用詞簡潔、準確,語氣禮貌、自信,態度不卑不亢,所給信息具有充分的可信度。尤其是在強調自身經歷和優點的時候,更應把握尺度。

點評 這是一篇中等習作。其優點是:
1. 層次分明,結構清晰,三段各有側重點,要點齊全。語氣誠懇,不卑不亢。
2. 有一定的詞匯積累,部分表達選詞恰當且高級,如:inform you of my advantages, equip me with excellent communicating skills, be of great help to。
不足之處在于:
在信息來源的表述上第一段和第二段有重復。
有一定數量的中式英語表達,不符合英文表達邏輯與習慣。如第二段的最后一句話可修改為In addition, I will dress appropriately and behave politely to be a qualified waiter。
作者嘗試了亮點表達,但存在個別選詞錯誤與搭配不當。如:在表達“有時間”時,I have available time應改為I am available;cast light on意為“闡明”,用在my ability上很生硬,根據表達需要可修改為 ...which can indicate my experience accumulation and qualification;在副詞修飾動詞方面,沒有becomingly這個詞;talk low可修改為talk gently;act good可修改為behave politely。
習作Ⅱ

I would like to apply for the position of a part-time waiter, as was advertised in the newspaper. My name is Li Hua, a student of 18 years old. Young as I am, I have confidence in myself. Possessed of enormous enthusiasm and determination, I will definitely live up to your expectation. Listed below are my qualifications for the job.
First, It is convenient for me to work in the busy city center café as my home is not far away and I can see to it that I am available during the whole summer vacation.

Whats more, the previous three months working experience in the KFC is where I am at an advantage, that is to say, I am experienced and know how to attend to sudden circumstances flexibly.
In a word, I guarantee that I am qualified for the job and I will try my best to work if I am employed. I hope I can meet with your approval and hear from you soon.

1. 段落清晰,層次分明。有過渡銜接詞besides, whats more, in a word,也有過渡銜接句Listed below are my qualifications for the job.
2. 高級詞匯運用自如,作者語用輸出能力強。在詞方面,通過豐富的形容詞和副詞使表達更形象,如enormous, definitely, available, previous, flexibly, guarantee。在短語方面,動詞和介詞短語交叉使用,如be possessed of, live up to ones expectation, it is convenient for me to, at an advantage, attend to sudden circumstances, be qualified for, meet with your approval。
3. 句式結構豐富多樣,長短句并存。在文章第一段,作者就分別用了as引導的非限定性定語從句和as引導的讓步狀語從句。此外,我們還可以欣賞到下列高級句式:
Possessed of enormous enthusiasm and determination, I will definitely live up to your expectation. (過去分詞作狀語)
Listed below are my qualifications for the job. (系表結構的完全倒裝)
Knowing that enjoying working with people is what it takes to be a waitress in your café, I can meet this demand as I am a friendly and helpful person. (現在分詞作狀語+what引導的表語從句)
... the previous three months working experience in the KFC is where I am at an advantage. (where引導的表語從句)
