The purpose of a letter of application (求职) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state 16 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 17 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 18 out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 19 that things a possible employer is most 20 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 21 the first few sentences fail to 22 the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be 23 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not 24 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your 25 in today's newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful 26 of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 27 your product and why they like it".
Try to 28 generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I 30 in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31 has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is 32 .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 33 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 34 is to enclose (内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 35 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
16. A. clearly B. carefully C. obviously D. easily
17. A. found B. done C. knownD. heard
18. A. sending B. taking C. leaving D. picking
19. A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind
20. A. probable B. possible C. likely D. able
21. A. While B. Although C. As D. If
22. A. pay B. win C. show D. fix
23. A. kept B. continued C. written D. read
