Dear Ms Smith,
I wish to apply for the position of a local tour guide as advertised in the Daily News on 30 June.
I'm very familiar with almost every inch of my home city, and have a passion for history. This role would enable me to help bring our history to life for visitors and promote local culture. As 1 plan to work in the tourism industry after graduation, I would welcome the opportunity to gain experience in this field.
As stated in my attached CV, I can speak both English and French fluently. English is my native language, and I'm majoring in French at university. I also attended an exchange programme in Paris last year,which further improved my French language skills.
Although I'm not a professional tour guide, l organised and conducted a tour of my city for exchange students from Paris. This included trips to a local leather workshop and a flour mill, for which my city is well known. I also put together a directory of useful information for them. I received excellent feedback for my work.
I would be delighted to have the opportunity to discuss my application further with you. I'm contactable via email at this address or by phone on 6747-9818. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,

亲爱的史密斯女士：
6月30日《每日新闻》刊登招聘当地导游一职，本人欲应征。
我对家乡的每一寸土地都非常熟悉，对历史有着浓厚的兴趣。这个角色将使我能够帮助把我们的历史带给游客，并促进文化。由于我计划毕业后在旅游行业工作，我希望有机会获得这方面的经验。
如我所附简历所述，我能说流利的英语和法语。英语是我的母语，我在大学主修法语。去年我还参加了巴黎的交流项目，这进一步提高了我的法语水平。
虽然我不是专业的导游，但我为来自巴黎的交换生组织并带领了一次城市之旅。其中包括参观当地的皮革作坊和面粉厂，我所在的城市是众所周知的。我还为他们整理了一个有用信息的目录。我的工作得到了很好的反馈。
我很高兴有机会与您进一步讨论我的申请。我的电子邮件地址是这个，电话号码是6747-9818。感谢您的时间和考虑。
你的真诚,
乔西·戴维斯

Dear Catherine,
Learning that part-time waiters are needed for your coffee bar, I am writing to apply for the position. I'm a student of 16, studying at a senior high school.
I believe I am pretty qualified for the job. First of all, I once worked as a waiter for months in a fast-food restaurant in my spare time. In addition, I'm outgoing, friendly as well as helpful, which I think will help me a lot in dealing with different customers. What's more, I can play the piano and it can surely create a warmer and friendlier atmosphere.
I’d appreciate it if you could consider my application. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
