The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state __ __ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in that things a possible employer is most to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. the first few sentences fail to the readers’ attention, the rest of the letter may not be at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your in today’s newspaper”. You might say , “I have made a careful of your advertising during the past six months” or “ I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives your product and why they like it”.
Try to generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___ . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ?” in a letter. Employers want experience---which, naturally, no has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent _ is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

I chose to study in Madrid because I had a desire to learn Spanish. My first impressions of Madrid were incredible. It was before the New Year that I arrived in Madrid for the first time. While traveling to my Spanish friend"s house in a taxi, I appreciated the buildings along the road which were different from those of my own country.
There are an incredible number of restaurants and bars from all over the world.

What I liked best about life in Madrid was the fact that if you were frustrated with schoolwork and wanted to have some fun, you can easily go out. The nightlife never seems to stop and the people are all very friendly. You can meet people and practice Spanish while having fun at the same time.
What I liked least was the fact that many people smoked in the streets. Also, coming from the US, I was used to having a big breakfast every morning, but while living with an actual Spanish family, I wasn"t really satisfied with the food in the morning.
I think I have definitely become more independent since I came back from Spain. Living in a big city like Madrid ,I found that it is necessary to plan ahead and to make a schedule for future. There is so much to see, not just in the Spanish World, but in the European World as well.

Today’s youth seem content to take the easy route and enjoy the ride of life. When tough situations arise, they often get annoyed and complain. How you live your teen years will have a profound influence on the rest of your life.
You must learn to use your time wisely. You may not see it now, but developing leadership characteristics at a young age is very important. As we get older, it becomes harder to overcome bad habits and replace them with good ones. Possessing leadership qualitiesis essential, both in this life and in the world to come. There are certain qualities that one needs to develop in order to become a leader: justice, judgment, dependability, initiative, decisiveness, tact, integrity, enthusiasm, poise, unselfishness, courage, knowledge and loyalty. You may recognize these as good qualities to have, without realizing how they apply to leadership. The more these qualities are part of your nature, the more productive and enjoyable your life will be. All of these are qualities that one must possess to one degree or another.
Contrary to popular opinion, leadershipis something that is learned. No one is born a leader. We are all capable of exhibiting the leadership qualities mentioned above — some just choose not to. Of course, not veryone can be the “top dog”, let alone all the time. However, everyone does have the capacity to lead in some way — but action is required! Understand that learning is a fact of life—learning to ride a bike, learning to drive, learning to type, learning mathematics, etc. All of these activities require action. While we are born with many different abilities, if we do not use and develop them, those abilities will never come to fruition. Youth is an excellent time to start developing leadership characteristics. Take the time to study each one in detail. Put them into practice as you interact with other people. Determine which areas you are weak in, striving to always improve. Observe the leaders, and how they handle situations and carry themselves. Also, study the lives of great leaders. The results will serve you in this life — and beyond!
小题1:The purpose of the second paragraph is to show that .| A．one must overcome bad habits at first | | B．all leaders have the mentioned leadership characteristics | | C．the earlier and the more you develop leadership characteristics, the better it is | | D．one must know how to apply the mentioned leadership characteristics first |
小题2:Not everyone can be a leader because______.| A．they are lazy | B．they don’t learn | | C．they don’t have the qualities mentioned | D．they don’t develop their abilities |
小题3:What does the underlined sentence mean?| A．Everyone can be a leader all the time. | | B．Everyone can not be a leader all the time. | | C．Nobody can be a top leader all the time. | | D．Nobody can not be a leader all the time. |
小题4:What is the best title for this passage?| A．Learn to be a leader. | B．Everyone can be a leader. | | C．Leadership characteristics. | D．Leadership is something that is learned. |
