——下半年公共英语求职信写作方法及例子 (菁华3篇)
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.
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 I"d like to introduce myself to you. My name is Li Ping. I"m 30 years old. I"m 180 cm tall. I"m 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.
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, I"ll work hard and try to be a good translator.

继续教育问题
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic A Boom in Continuing Education. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1)上图为某城市2002-2008年参加继续教育的人数情况，请描述其中的变化;
2)分析导致该变化的原因;
3)谈谈你对继续教育的.看法。
【范文】
A Boom in Continuing Education
From the graph, we can learn the number of continuing education participants has kept increasing from 2002 to 2008 in X city. In 2002 there were only 20 thousand people taking part in the continuing education, but in 2004 the number grew to 70 thousand, and in 2006 150, and by 2008, the number has reached 230 thousand. It can be seen easily that continuing education is gaining more and more popularity。
The following reasons are responsible for this boom in continuing education. Firstly, during the work many people begin to realize what they have learned in schools is far from enough. So they turn to continuing education to gain more knowledge and skills. Moreover, as the science and technology in China are developing very fast, *s after graduation have to refresh themselves. In addition, in modern society, those without bachelor's degrees or above are less competitive。
As far as I am concerned, the boom in continuing education is a necessity. It provides those on-the-job people with chances to get advanced degrees and gain more knowledge. As our society develops, more and more people will receive continuing education in the future。

Directions:
Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words.
You might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life.
But new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man' s favour—at least when it comes to his career.
The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive work- place because they intimidate bosses. "It' s not always an advantage to be pretty," says Marko Pite- sa, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. "It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat. "
Interestingly, in Pitesa' s study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference. If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred goodlooking men. However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential compe*, the interviewer discriminated in favour of unattractive men.
"l——he results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career.
"The dominant theoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irrational prejudice," Pitesa says.
"The way we explain it here, pretty men just seem more competent, so it is actually subjec- tively rational to discriminate for or against them. "
On a deeper level, she adds, the behaviour remains irrational, since there' s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and comoetence.
范文
There might be a common view that good—looking people can take ad- vantages of their superior appearances in the daily life，especially for the preRy men in the job hunting market.However，according to a new research，good appearance is no longer been the silver bullet in a job inter-view.
The results showed that although there Was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive mall，and did not mind to work with them.However，people were not likely to pick a goodlooking man as their potential compe*s.
In my opinion，we should not depend ourselves on our appearance in terms of job hunting.
Good appearance may bring US some benefits，but what is highly valued in the job market is our talents and abilities.

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 countrys average level and it is as high as 40 percent. The rate for the countrys 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 Chinas 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 *s should be reduced to the minimum. Only in this way can China raise its national educational level.
Writing
An article in a newspaper once said: "As China strives to develop its western area, some effective measures should be taken to improve forestry in the region." Write an essay of about 120 words, stating what effective measures should be adopted to improve forestry in the western area.
「参考范文」
Over the past 10 years, China has made much headway in its afforestation and soil conservation. For instance, the national forest acreage has increased by 13.7 million hectares since the fourth national survey on forest resources in 1990. Despite these great achievements, some serious problems still remain to be solved such as how to improve forestry in the western area in the course of its economic development.
Forestry build-up in the west is a long-term task. In order to have this goal materialized, I think some concrete and effective measures should be taken immediately. For example, to protect the natural environment of the west, some previously cultivated areas should be returned to forest and grassland. In the course of improving forestry, some strict laws should made and their enforcement must be guaranteed. Those who violate forest protection laws must be severely punished. Only by taking these effective measures can forestry in the western area be improved.

Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Person I ever Know. You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、 我生活中最难忘的人是
2、 为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀
3、 结论
In my life I have met many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.
What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offeran awakening of a passion for learning. He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in explorating something deeper in this field. Second, I was attracted by his lively wit. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.
Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.
It has turned out that com*rs have become quite indispensable to education. With com*rs,students can do their homework more quickly and more efficiently; with com*rs,teachers can reduce their work load and improve their teaching. For instance,com*rs can free teachersfromcertain kinds of time-consuming bookkeeping; help teachers "bank" test items,thus greatly reducing the time required to produce a new test,and mark test papers. More importantly,they can ***yze test results,indicating to the teacher which points may need further treatment in class.
They can also make it possible for a teacher in the classroom to give individual attention to students who are having trouble in their studies. While the rest of a class is working on an educational program,the teacher can take the time to work directly with a student who is falling behind. So it goes without saying that com*rs are extremely important in education at all levels.
Water is a precious resource. Although we are surrounded by it in oceans,lakes,rivers and streams,our sup* is limited. The chart given shows that most of the water on earth-97.4 percent-is salt water stored in oceans. Only 2.6 percent of the earths water is fresh water,and 2 percent is locked up in ice caps and glaciers. Thus the fresh water left for us to use is only 0.6 percent of the total water sup*.
There will never be any more fresh water than there is now. In fact,the earth is short of fresh water. Besides,the increasing growth of the world population,the growing demand of industry for water,the serious pollution of our environment-all this makes the world in danger of running out of fresh water. In some large cities such as Tianjin,fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.
Since water is essential to all life and the sup* limited,we must manage it intelligently and carefully.
