假设你叫李平，你从报上得知某公司欲招聘一名英语翻译，请你给该公司经理写一份求职信，你的个人资料如下：

1.简况：姓名，李平;年龄，30岁;身高，1.80米;健康状况，良好;业余爱好，游泳、唱歌、跳舞。

2.简历：1994年北京大学毕业后分配到南通中学工作，1996年调至苏州中学工作至今。?

3.工作：工作认真负责，与人相处融洽。

4.特长：精通英语，尤其口语，已将多本中文书籍译成英语，懂一些日语、能用日语与外宾对话。

联系电话：

联系地址：苏州市人民路一号

第一步：介绍消息来源

介绍消息来源实际上是求职信的开篇交待句，它可使求职信显得自然、顺畅;而不介绍消息来源，会使收信人感到意外、突然，文章也缺乏过渡、照应，本文消息来源可作如下介绍：

Dear manager,

I learned from the newspaper that your company wanted to hire an English translator.

第二步：表明求职心愿

介绍完消息来源后，应向收信人表明自己的求职心愿，即写信的目的，本文求职心愿可作如下介绍：

Im interested in this job very much. Id like to get this job.

第三步：介绍个人简历

某单位需要新人，求职人也有求职心愿，但这并不意味着这项工作非你莫属。如果你没有干好这项工作的经历、实力，也是难以适应的。因此，介绍个人简历是必不可少的。本文个人简历可介绍如下：

Now Id like to introduce myself to you. My name is Li Ping. Im 30 years old. Im 180 cm tall. Im healthy. I like swimming, singing and dancing in my spare time. I graduated from Beijing University in 1994.Then,I went to work in Nantong Middle School. In 1996，I began to work in Suzhou Middle School and I have worked there until now.

第四步：摆出求职优势

仅有一定的工作经历而没有自身的优势和特长，也很难求得称心如意的工作。因此，求职时应表明自己除了具有一定的工作经历之外，还具有一定的优势和特长，这样才能稳操胜券。本文可通过如下方法摆出自己的优势：

I work hard and I can get along well with others. Im good at English and especially my spoken English is very good. Ive translated many Chinese books into English. I can understand Japanese and I can talk to foreigners in Japanese freely.

第五步：提出获职打算

丰富的工作经验，一定的优势和特长，只能代表过去和现在的情况，如果获职后自以为心愿已了，从此高枕无忧，马虎从事，那也是得不到用人单位认可的。显然表明获职后努力工作的决心是感动用人单位的领导从而顺利谋得此项工作的重要一环。本文获职打算可作如下介绍：?

If you agree with me, Ill work hard and try to be a good translator.

第六步：请求答复联系

如果单位领导同意了你的求职要求，你必然要请他和你联系，以便你及时做好准备，到用人单位应聘或报到。为准确起见，请求答复联系时你还应当提供你的通讯地址、邮政编码、电话号码、电子信箱等。本文答复联系的内容可作如下介绍：

If you agree with me, please write a letter to me or phone me. I live at No.1 Renmin Road, Suzhou city. My telephone number is 3654371.

第七步：表明感激之情

无论你的请求是否能够得到满意的答复，你给用人单位写信就是给对方添了麻烦，因此你应向对方表明感激之情。本文可这样来表明感激之情：

Thank you very much.

上述七步内容联成一个整体，再加上下面的信尾，就成为一封完整的求职信。

Yours Truly

LiPing

Santa Claus:

Hello!

I was a very bookish fourth grader, and Christmas was coming, so what I

wanted this time: a big pile of books.

I was a smart, reading kid who was consistently in the top ten of my class.

Books were my best friend. Remember once, I ordered the second class did not

carefully look, my mother asked me the content, ask three Do not know. Just for

that one time, my mother let me promise: after all bought a book, must carefully

read, or from now on do not buy a book, until finished reading. So, I look

carefully every time, also tell the content to my mother to listen. Now, I have

finished reading the book is a hill, mother ready to throw, But I think of one

thing: "the book is so good, we can donate to the poor mountain! As expected,

this year, we launched a book donation activity, I did not hesitate to donate 5

books!

Santa Claus, for I love such a book of children, you can send me a book? I

will watch it carefully. Thank you so much!

Wish you a long and healthy life!

圣诞老爷爷：

您好!

我是个非常爱读书的四年级孩子，圣诞节来临，所以我这次想要的礼物：一堆厚厚的书。

我是个聪明的、会读书的小孩，成绩一直在班上前十名，书是我最好的朋友。记得有一次，我订的《第二课堂》没有认真仔细看，妈妈问我内容，一问三不知。就为了那一次，妈妈让我保证：以后凡是买了书，就一定要认真看完，不然从此以后都不买书，直到看完为止。于是，我每次都认真的看，还把内容讲给妈妈听。现在，我看完的书已经是一座小山了，妈妈准备扔时，我却想起一件事：“这书还这么好，我们可以捐给贫困山区呀!”果然不出我所料，这一年里，我们开展了捐书活动，我毫不犹豫地捐了5本!

圣诞老爷爷，对于我这么一个爱书的小朋友，您可以送我书吗?我一定会认真看的。谢谢您!

祝健康长寿!

Sweet He

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December.It is a very happy day for many boys and girls .Before the term ends in some schools ,the children act a nativity or “birth” play,showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

On the twenty-fourth of December,all children are very excited.Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready.The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace ,so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in.The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents.Later that night,Father or Mother will put presents in the sock,and leave others at the side of the bed.

On Christmas morning,the children wake up very early.Some even turn on the light at two oclock,and most of them are awake by six oclock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.Children look for their presents,and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared.At about one oclock in the afternoon,the Christmas dinner is brought in.The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten.Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it.The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

求职信通常分为几种类型，包括索取公司应聘申请表及详细资料的不带的求职信，附简历的应征求职信，试探性的求职信等等。 那么，英文有哪些呢？

递交求职信的目的是用求职信来吸引阅读者，而不是一种形式或习惯。打开装有求职信的信封，首先看到的就是求职信，它是表现应聘者个性的工具，想象一下，如果对方看到的是连折叠都不齐整的信纸，还有好心情看下去吗？而结构松散的信会让人觉得写信者条理不清晰。语法拼写或标点的错误太多，则会让人觉得此人办事容易出错，对工作不负责任，公司是不会聘用这样的人的。通常一封求职信的阅读时间是30秒，在这30秒内能体现的实际上是你的风格。而每一个公司都喜欢聘用专业作风很强的有能力的员工。

在招聘广告中，常要求有意申请者可致电或致函索取公司的申请表格。索取这类申请表格的求职信一般都比较简短，格式参照范例。 得到申请表格后，仔细填写后一般与简历一起交给公司。申请表格的填写。

附简历的应征求职信具有向招聘者说明简历和具体求职内容的作用。简历中你已经将自己的职业经历或教育情况列表说明了，在求职信里就应着重表达自己的意见。在求职信里要简短地对简历中提到的与应聘职位有关的职业经历和技能加以说明。但是，只是简单的重复简历里的内容是不够的。要把简历里没有的内容充分添加进去，显示出与其他应聘者的差别。你需要表达的观点是：渴望、确信、真诚（I am keen, I am clear and I am sincere)。在第一段里，陈述你渴望得到这个空缺职位，第二段说明你已了解这项工作和公司的要求，说明你为什么认为你符合它们的招聘条件。第三段讲清你本人希望在何时面试，何时可以上班。第四段采用能使公司相信你对这项工作真正有兴趣的语句结束这封信。

典型的求职信格式是：你的地址写在信纸的右上方，地址下面是写信日期。信纸左上角要写上接受你求职信的人的姓名和尊称其下面是该公司的名称和地址。再下面就是招聘广告中给出的其他相关代码。

试探性的求职信是你主动发给你感兴趣的公司的，这类希望渺茫的却经常能出人意料的取得成功，因为这种申请求职的方法表现出了申请人本身的能力、勇气和激情。

试探性求职申请信应该简洁，讲清楚你对该公司感兴趣的原因，写明你具备的资格以及你认为会引起该公司注意的任何品德。邮寄申请信时，要把也一起寄去。你还需要知道公司里人事经理或部门经理的名字，把直接信寄给他会更有效一些。

可能在很长的一段时间里，你收不到任何回音，那么可以断定该公司目前没有你申请的空缺职位。

Dear Santa:

Ive been a very good boy this year. I study hard and am nice to my

friends. I helped Mom and Dad decorate the Xmas tree. And I didnt fight with my

baby sis. So please put me on your list.

I want to have a mountain bicycle as my Xmas gift and a lot of love for my

dear Mommy and Daddy. This Xmas will sure be a special one. Mommy plans to cook

a Xmas feast and invite some friends over on Xmas Eve.

I want to wish all my family and friends merry Xmas!

Dear Sir,

I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last

week and immediately sent off a ￡2 postal order and the completed form for the

lighter.

Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could

understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your

advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the

coupon got the same result.

I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are

not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should

admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" ￡2: I usually pay 10

pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.

I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send

me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure

the Consumers Association hear about it.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Li

离圣诞节还有半个月时间，提前预祝大家圣诞节快乐。下面是小编给大家整理的与圣诞节有关的英语单词的内容，欢迎大家查看。

Christmas Eve

平安夜，也就是圣诞节的前一天。每年的12月24日。这跟我们的大年夜有点相似(New Years Eve)。

Christmas Day

圣诞节当天，每年的12月25日。相当于中国的大年初一。Everybody goes for various parties to celebrate the festival on Christmas day.(在圣诞节那天，大家都去参加各种各样的派对来庆祝节日。)

Boxing Day

圣诞节后的第一个工作日，即每年的12月26日，意即“重拳出击的那一天”。

尤其值得注意的是，在西方，还有一个Christmas season。它是指12月24日至翌年1月6日，我们称之为“圣诞节节期”。也就是经常说的holiday season，指的是一整段日子。

Christmas gift或者Christmas present

这两个词都可以表示圣诞礼物。我们经常会说：Here is a Christmas gift for you. 或者：I have a present for your Christmas Day.即表示要送对方圣诞礼物的意思。

Santa Claus

圣诞老人。他赶着驯鹿，拉着装满礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

Bethlehem

伯利恒。耶路撒冷南方六英里一市镇，传说为耶稣诞生地。

Christmas tree

圣诞树。与之相关的还有Christmas decorations(圣诞装饰物);Christmas wreath或者Christmas garland(圣诞花环);Christmas crafts(圣诞工艺品)。这些美丽的装点都使得圣诞节变得熠熠生辉。

Christmas Waits

报佳音的人。圣诞夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。教会组织一些圣诗班(或由信徒自发地组成)挨门挨户地在门口或窗下唱圣诞颂歌，叫作“报佳音”，意思是再现当年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人报告耶稣降生的喜讯。“报佳音”的人称为Christmas Waits，这项活动往往要进行到天亮，人数越来越多，歌声越来越大，大街小巷满城尽是歌声。

Christmas carol

圣诞颂歌。《平安夜》等圣诞颂歌人们耳熟能详。

Christmas pudding

圣诞布丁。圣诞节吃的一种应节食品。

Christmas stocking

圣诞袜。传说圣诞老人会把礼物放在里面。

Christmas recess

圣诞节暂停营业、上学、工作期间。

附：圣诞节英语简短对话

圣诞节首先是属于西方国家的节日，如果你有异国朋友的话，自然少不了要互赠礼物。那么，你知道在西方国家怎耸立于应该怎样说吗?现在，我就几个例子给大家参考吧。

Cynthia， an American， and Karina， her Danish friend， are shopping for Christmas presents.

Karina ： Isnt this the perfect gift for Bob?

Cynthia ： Are you crazy? That watch cost you an arm and a leg. Besides， Bob doesnt wear a watch.

Karina ： Thats why hes always late! This gift will make him more punctual.1

Cynthia ： Why do you like this particular watch?

Karina ： It reminds me of Christmas in Denmark because its so shiny.

Cynthia ： What do you mean?

Karina ： Denmark only gets a few hours of sunlight a day during winter.

Cynthia ： That doesnt sound very shiny!

Karina ： No， but we light candles in homes， schools， and churches to create a warm atmosphere.2 At Christmas， the whole country is lit up like a giant Christmas tree!

Cynthia ： Im sure that watch will brighten3 Bobs heart all winter long.

Karina ： I hope so. In Denmark， we give Christmas gifts to every friend and family member.

Cynthia ： In America， we do， too! But it can get expensive， though. Speaking of which， how could you afford such an expensive watch on a teachers salary?4

Karina ： I took a part-time job on the weekends to save the money.

Cynthia ： Thats so sweet!

Karina ： Ive got an idea. Lets walk to Da-an Park and enjoy the sunshine.

美国人辛西亚和她的丹麦朋友卡丽娜正在选购圣诞礼物。

卡丽娜：这不正是给鲍伯的最佳礼物吗?

辛西亚：你有没有搞错?买那只表要花上一大笔钱。更何况，鲍伯是不戴表的。

卡丽娜：那正是他老爱迟到的原因!这份礼物会让他更守时。

辛西亚：你为什么喜欢这款手表呢?

卡丽娜：它令我想起丹麦的圣诞节，因为它看起来好闪亮。

辛西亚：这话是什么意思?

卡丽娜：冬天时，丹麦一天只有几个小时的日照。

辛西亚：听起来并不太明亮嘛!

卡丽娜：是不太亮，但我们在家里、学校和教堂中都点起烛光，以营造温暖的气氛。在 圣诞节 期间，全国上下灯火通明，就像棵巨大的圣诞树一般!

辛西亚：我相信那快表会让鲍伯开心一整个冬天。

卡丽娜：希望如此。在丹麦，我们会送圣诞礼物给每位亲朋好友。

辛西亚：在美国我们也一样!但买礼物可能得花不少钱。说到这点，光靠当老师的薪水，你怎么买得起这么贵的手表呢?

卡丽娜：这笔钱是我周末打工存下来的。

辛西亚：你真是有心!

卡丽娜：我有个想法，我们走到大安森林公园去享受点阳光吧。

这学期我搬到新房子,在一所新学校学习。但我总是想念我的朋友。我的老房子是比这舒适的新房子。我想回到我的老房子。

Everything was strange for me,so I couldnt study better. I felt nervous in the first test. And I got bad scores,I felt very sad. The teacher shouted at me. And then,I felt under too much pressure and very tired. My parents were also sad with me. When my classmates knew this thing,she helped me,and gave me some advice. Later,I thought I can be better next time.

一切对我来说是陌生的,所以我不能更好的学习。在第一个测试中我感到紧张。我得到糟糕的成绩,我感到非常难过。老师对我大吼大叫。然后,我感到太多的压力和很累。我的父母和我也难过。当我的同学知道这件事,她帮助了我,给了我一些建议。之后,我想我可以更好的下一次。

I hope to get on well with everyone and get a good mark soon.

我希望和每个人都相处得很好,很快就取得好成绩。

Dear Mr. Lai,

尊敬的赖老师：

I am writing this letter just want to say thanks to you. I am going to graduate in two weeks. You have been my class adviser for three years. During these three years you have spent lots of energy on us. You are not only teaching knowledge in the class, but also care our life. Sometimes we are afraid of you, because of your strict requirement for our study. However, you are so helpful in the daily life. No matter what difficulties we are in, you will help if you can. So, I also want to say sorry to you for making so much trouble. But you bear all my trouble. I don’t know what kind of class adviser I will meet in the future study, but I will remember and appreciate you forever. I want to say thank you again.

我写这封信只是想跟你说声谢谢。还有两周我就要毕业了。你做了我三年的班主任。在这三年你花了那么多精力在我们身上。你不仅仅在课堂上传授我们知识，而且在生活上也很关心我们。不过有时候我们有点怕你，因为你对我们学习的严格要求。不过，在日常生活中你是那么的乐于助人。无论我们遇到什么样的困难，只要能够帮得上忙你都会帮我们。所以，我还想对你说声对不起，给你带来那么多的麻烦。但是你都一一包容了。我不知道我会在今后的学习中遇到什么样的班主任，但是我会一直记得你、感激你的。我想再次说声谢谢。

Dear Sir：

Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products com#pany have, I believe,given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursdays newspaper.

Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales, including writing much of the correspondence. In the course of my work, I have becom#e familiar with the various sales territories, and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere.

The years before I was employed at the New World, I was a secretary for Long Brother, an accounting firm. There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures.

I was graduated at Wah Yan College, in June 1974. I am twenty-five years of age and single.

I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope. Mypresent employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.

May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.

Yours faithfully,

A Letter to the Teacher

Dear Miss Brown,

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for caring me in the last two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering, I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep going.

Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere appreciation. Best wishes for you.

敬爱的布朗老师：

我谨以此向您表达我最真诚的谢意，感谢您在过去两年里对我的帮助。在过去的两年里，成为您的学生，我学到了许多。首先，您对教学和学生的认真态度使我深受感动。您鼓舞着我不断地努力学习。其次，在您的影响下，我深深地喜欢上了英语。作为一名理工科学生，我以前一直认为英语对我毫无用处，但您使我认识到了英语的魅力所在，带我走进了一个全新的世界，培养了不同的思维方式。最后，您的鼓励总在我遭遇困难或挑战是鼓励着我。您曾经说过：“每一件事情到了最后都会变成好事，如果不是，那说明还没有到最后。”每当想起您说过的话，我就有了坚持下去的动力。

最后，请允许我再次向您表达我的感谢，接受我真诚的谢意。献上最美好的祝福。
