Dear sir,
I am writing to introduce myself, with the hope of getting the job you advertised in Daily News.
When I was a child, I was fond of English and always got good grades. In 1994, after six years of hard work in Beijing No. 4 Middle School, I entered People’s University. I studied English there for four years.
Luckily, I got my first job when I graduated. I taught English in Beijing No. 4 Middle School from 1998 to 2001. Then I got the chance to receive further education in University of Hawaii in the US. That was a precious experience of my life. I learnt a lot during those two years, especially the differences between eastern and western cultures.
I came back to People’s University in 2003. I worked as an assistant(助手) for 2 years and then as a professor. So far, I have got 8 years of working experience.
I won lots of awards. I was an “Excellent Student” of People’s University in 1997, and “Outstanding Teacher” of Beijing No. 4 Middle School in 2000.
Thank you for reading my letter, and I will appreciate it very much if you can reply soon.
Yours sincerely
Li Guolong
