　　Dear sir:

　　I wish to apply for a position with your company as an assistant accountant. I am twenty-six years old and at present employed by the Island Company, where I have been for the past two years. Formerly I was employed by Global Export Co., where it was nearly three years.

　　My only reason for leaving either of these positions would be to better myself and I feel there is no future opportunity in my present position. I wish to serve in a large company like yours, to provide me with ample opportunities to learn new things.

　　I can give you references from both these firms as to my character and ability as an accountant. My present salary is $2,600 a month and I would not care to accept less in another position, but I am willing to start at the same salary, provided there is an opportunity for advancement. Yours faithfully,

　　Writing

　　A survey conducted in Tianjin found that 98% of high school students and 92% of elementary school students have to spend most of their weekends doing homework.

　　Write an essay of about 120 words. You may include the following points:

　　1. Discuss the negative effects of too much homework on children.

　　2. Discuss the disadvantages of the present exam-oriented education system.

　　3. Call for efforts to ease students' burden and help them lead a colorful and enjoyable life.

　　「参考范文」

　　Too much homework has become a common complaint in high schools and elementary schools. Students have to spend most of their time doing homework, even on weekends. As a result, they have no time for their hobbies, or for their parents or friends. All they do is what they have to do, not what they like to do.

　　The underlying cause for this phenomenon lies in the present exam-oriented education system. National College Entrance Examination has become the sole focus of teachers, parents, and students themselves. High score becomes the ultimate goal, to the neglect of practical abilities, personality development, and all that.

　　It is urgent that we deepen our educational reform. We must allow for students' overall development, not just evaluate their test scores.

　　Writing

　　According to some surveys done by the Ministry of Education, there are about 153 million illiterates and semi-illiterates in China. Its illiteracy rate in the western region is much higher than the country's average level and it is as high as 40 percent. The rate for the country's whole population stands at 14 percent. Write an essay of about 120 words, stating your opinion about this issue now confronting China.

　　「参考范文」

　　The task of educating a huge population can be challenging to any country. Though China has shown great concern and done much in education, and in eliminating illiteracy, it still has 153 million illiterate and semi-illiterate citizens, according to some statistics issued by the Ministry of Education. So, in my opinion, raising China's education level, to a large extent, depends on greater educational achievement in its vast western region and some other backward areas.

　　In the past decade, China has moved to combat illiteracy and promote nine years of compulsory schooling, especially in poor areas and areas inhabited by minorities, and has achieved a great success, but it seems a difficult task in regions where educational opportunities are limited. However, we should set a target that, by 2010, nine-year compulsory schooling should be realized and the illiteracy rate among young and middle-aged adults should be reduced to the minimum. Only in this way can China raise its national educational level.
