Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself. You should state the job you want clearly, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have done. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, a possible employer may want to know a number of important things. What is your qualifications(资历)？ What achievements have you made？ And what are your aims？ The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. Try to keep your opening sentences to

the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires.

Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now applying. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I provide in a letter？" Employers want to know about your experience. Certainly, a beginner has no experience. The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.

It is important to write good strong closing words for your letter. Ask for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent idea is to enclose(随信附上) an envelope with your address and a stamp. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

The purpose of writing a letter of application is to ______.

A．sell oneself as a product

B．try your best to get a good job

C．help a company to hire people

D．make others to know about you
