本单元的写作任务是写一篇个人简介。个人简介就是对个人的姓名、年龄、经历、特长、爱好及其他情况所做的简明扼要的书面介绍。
英语写作中的个人简介主要有两种。一种是单纯的自我介绍, 目的是为了告知对方一些个人信息;另一种个人简介是作为应用文写作的一部分,通过对个人的介绍来达到某种明确特定的目的,如申请某份工作,加入某个活动等,通常包括应聘信、申请信或个人介绍等,并且以第二种考查居多。对这种文章的写作需从以下几点入手:
1.介绍个人基本情况,主要包括姓名、年龄、爱好等;
2.陈述个人优势(知识面、语言水平、特长爱好等);
3.提出写信目的,表达期望。

For one thing,I have developed fluency in spoken English.I have no difficulty communicating with foreigners.What’s more,I have accumulated related experience by working part-time in a travel agency,accompanying some foreign tourists.And I treasure this as a good chance to broaden my perspective as well as improve my spoken English.
