开头：
Dear Sir/Madam：
How do you do? I learned from the advertisement that English Weekly is looking for some part-time journalists. I’m very interested in this position. Now let me briefly introduce myself.
I’m Li Hua, 15years old, currently studying in Xinhua Middle School. I have an excellent academic record and a wide range of interest in a lot of subjects, such as history, geography, arts and literature. Not only can I speak English fluently, but also I can express my ideas freely on paper. Moreover, as I have been one of the editors of our school’s newspaper since 2 years ago, I’m quite experienced in editing and writing. Last but not the least, I can cooperate very well with my classmates, which I believe will benefit my future work.
I’d appreciate it if you could give me this opportunity.
I’m looking forward to your re*. Thanks!
The General House Effect
The green house effect is not a new phenomenon. Scientists have known for centuries that a layer of gases naturally surrounds the earth like an insulating blanket, trapping the reflected energy of the sun and preventing it from escaping into space that is what makes the earth warm enough for people, plants and animals. However, recent human activity has boosted concentrations of greenhouse gases and enhanced their heat-trapping ability. The man culprit is carbon dioxide which scientists estimate accounts for nearly half of global warming.Co2 is released from burning fossil fuels and from clearing and burning forests.
There are other important greenhouse gases too and they cannot be ignored. CFCs, for example, may account for 25 per cent of global warming in the text century if their production is not scaled back. But carbon dioxide is the pivotal one. The UN International panel on Climatic Change now says that Co2 levels could double within in 40 years if present rates of fossil-fuel burning and deforestation continue. That means an average temperature increase between two and four degrees centigrade and a sea-level rise of perhaps a foot by 2050.
No one knows for certain how local weather will change as a result of this warming. But one thing is clear-it will be no picnic. Indications are that the earth will be take place not over thousands of years, but over decades. And it is the speed of the change, which makes the precise impact so difficult to predict.
The most sophisticated com*rized climate models in the US and UK , agree that weather around the world will become more irregular and more extreme. In general, temperatures will become more towards the poles than at the equator. overall rainfall will also increase as higher temperatures boost evaporation from the seas. But the distribution of precipitation will shift. Some areas will become wetter, others will be drier. In middle latitudes, Climate zones will march poles-wards. In tropical and subtropical parts of the third would, warming will be less but the impact on a relatively stable climate will be greater.
