The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most
40 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.”
Try to 48 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 51 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

One day a few years ago we had an uninvited guest—a sparrow. the little bird had flown into our open garage. Then I the bird before I saw it.
“What’s that?”I asked when I first heard the sound.
“It’s coming from the .”my wife, Anita, said. “Maybe it’s one of the little .”
I looked into the garage. No children at all. But there was that sound again, coming from right up there. And that’s I saw the sparrow. It was flying just inches below the ceiling. It was clearly to get out, but couldn’t see the way out was not up, but and and out through the garage door. So the bird continued flapping its wings and bumping its little head the ceiling.
I tried to terrify it out, but only succeeded in driving it into the open space between the door and the ceiling. Then I tried to show the bird how to fly down a few feet it could get outside, but that only seemed to it more.
“Why don’t we just leave for a few minutes,” Anita .“I’m sure he’ll figure it out eventually.”
We went back into the house, where we to hear the ongoing struggle between the sparrow and the ceiling. Then suddenly, it was and our uninvited guest was gone.
I’ve that little sparrow through the years, and I’ve decided that birds are not different much from people. We think we were to fly ever upward, and we don’t even consider the that something good might happen if we just fly down a little bit. Once we figure out that we can make without banging（碰）our heads against ceilings, we can usually save ourselves much .

When you are little, it’s not hard to believe you can change the world. I remember my ______ when, at the age of 12, I _______ delegates at the Rio Earth Summit. “I am only a child,” I told them .“Yet I know that if all the money spent on war was spent on ________ poverty and finding environment answers, ________ a wonderful place this would be. In school you teach us not to __________ others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, not to hurt other creatures, to _______, not to be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the thing you tell us not to do? You grown-ups say you love us, but I _________ you, please, to make your __________reflect your words.”
I spoke for six minutes and received a standing ovation（长时间的喝彩）. Some of the delegates _______ cried. I thought that maybe I had ________ some of them, that my speech might actually spur(激励) action. Now, a decade from Rio, after I’ve sat through many more conferences, I’m not sure what has been accomplished. My confidence in the people in power and in the power of an individual’s voice to reach them has been deeply shaken.
When I was little, the world was simple. But as a young adult, I’m learning that as we have to make _________ — education, career, lifestyle — life gets more and more _________. We are beginning to feel __________ to produce and be successful. We are taught that economic growth is ________, but aren’t taught how to _________ a happy, healthy or sustainable(可持续的) way of living. And we are learning that what we wanted for the future when we were 12 was ideal and __________.
Today I’m no longer a child, but I’m worried about what kind of _________ my children will grow up in. I know change is _________, because I am changing, still figuring out what I think. I am still deciding how to live my life. The challenges are great, _________ if we accept individual responsibility and make sustainable choices, we will rise to the challenges, and we will become part of the ___________ tide of change.

On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat __________ in the car.
Though Mother’s Day _______ Earth Day, for me, they have always been _________ each other. My mom has been “green” since she became_________ the environment. Part of this habit was _________of thrift (节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mom _________her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of ________ relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to _________ the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders(给食器) out at night, it is _________that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that __________ their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be ________ in the garden.
I try to________ my children that looking out for the environment starts with being ________of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions (蒲公英) to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and _________ plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by __________. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to ________ living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection.
I am slowing down and it isn’t __________the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to ___________ the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house.
Last summer, in the _________of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to __________ with my mom.
