【学生作文】
Dear Sir or Madam:
From 21st Century, July 1, I learnt that your company wants to employ 20 summer salesmen among the college students. And I’d love to have a try.
Well, I’m a student from University of Science and Technology of China, studying very hard. And I want to spend this summer holiday on some social practice. I believe that I can do it well. When I was in senior middle school, I helped my uncle in his drugstore for about two years. Most of the time on weekends or in vacations, I went to help him. This experience will be very helpful if I am given the post by your company. Besides this, I’m patient, enthusiastic, and good-tempered. All these will help me to do the job well.
Please give a chance, and I will prove myself worthy of your trust. My address is: Room 315, Building 3, West Campus, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, Anhui 230026. My telephone number is 0551-3661715.
I’m waiting for your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Hong
【评析】
(1)总体来说,这封求职信写得不错,题目中要求的几点都写到了。正文第一段点出获悉这一招聘信息的途径;第二段给出了自己的资历以及求职的原因,尤其是援引自己以前的营销经历,很能吸引雇主;第三段,先陈述希望对方给自己一个机会,接着给出自己的联络方式;最后一段,与第三段呼应,委婉地再一次敦促雇主给自己一个机会。大的方面,不足之处有两点:首先,该求职信的格式不完全正确,结尾客套语“Yours sincerely,”和署名“Zhang Hong”应该置于书信内文的右下方,因为该学生套用的书信的是变体块状格式;其次,该求职信的语言偏口语化,像“I’d”这样的缩写形式、置于句首的“And”、语气词“Well”等,与事务书信对语言风格的要求有出入。
(2) 语言层面上的不妥和错误如下:
先看第一段。第一句中的“wants”建议改为“plans”。第二句中的“And”删除;另外,把“I’d”改成“I would”。这些修改都是出于语体适当的考虑。另外,把第一句中的“salesmen”改成“salespersons”,更好,以消除性别歧视,体现“政治上正确”(politically correct)的平等观念。
接下来,看第二段。第一句中的 “Well,”删除;“I’m”改为“I am”;还有,把状语“studying very hard”改成并列谓语的一部分,即“study very hard”,并添加上“and have earned brilliant academic achievements” 以突出“学习努力,成绩突出”这一资历。第二句句首中的“And”删除;句末加上“so as to gain more marketing experience ”,更突出求职的目的——或者说原因。“Besides this, I’m patient, enthusiastic, and good-tempered.”一句中的“this”,应该改为“these”,因为前面提到了教育背景、工作经历、求职原因等,应该以表示复数概念的代词“these”来指代。
下面,我们看第三段。本段没有语言不妥或错误的地方,但是,该生要是把自己的电子邮件地址附上,会更好,因为现在是网络信息时代,有了电子邮件地址,人们之间的联系会更迅捷。
最后一段,把“I’m”改为“I am”。

Dear Sir or Madam,
From 21st Century, July 1, I learnt that your company plans to employ 20 summer salespersons among the college students. I would love to have a try.
I am a student from University of Science and Technology of China, study very hard, and have earned brilliant academic achievements. I want to spend this summer holiday on some social practice so as to gain more marketing experience. I believe that I can do it well. When I was in senior middle school, I帮助我叔叔在他的药房里呆了大约两年。大部分时间在周末或假期,我去帮助他。如果给我这个职位,这种经验将非常有帮助。除了这些,我还有耐心,热情和脾气好。所有这些都将帮助我做好这项工作。
请给我一次机会,我将证明自己值得您的信任。我的地址是:中国科学技术大学西校区3号楼315室,安徽合肥230026。我的电话是0551-3661715。您也可以通过[email protected]与我联系。
