Dear Dr. Anderson,

Mr．Li Quanzhi who has just returned to China from your university informed that you are considering the possibility of offering a Chinese language course to your students in the next academic year and may have an opening for a teacher of the Chinese language. I am very much interested in such a position.

I have been teaching Chinese literature and composition at college level since 1980. In the past three years, I have worked in summer programs, teaching the Chinese language and culture to students from English-speaking courtries. As a result， I got to know well the common problems of these students and how to adapt teaching to achieve the best results.

With years of intensive English training, I have no difficulty conducting classes in English and feel queit comfortable working with American students.

I will be available after February 1998．Please fell free to contact me if you wish more information. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Shi Hongqi

安德森博士：

從剛從貴校返回的李全志先生處，德知貴校正在考慮下學(xué)年給貴校學(xué)生開(kāi)設(shè)中文課，或可有一中文教師之空缺。本人對(duì)此職頗有興趣。

從1980年起，本人一直在高校講授中國(guó)文學(xué)與寫(xiě)作課程。過(guò)去三年中，我曾主講暑期課程，向來(lái)自英語(yǔ)國(guó)家的學(xué)生教授中國(guó)語(yǔ)言與文化。因此，我對(duì)外國(guó)學(xué)生常見(jiàn)的學(xué)習(xí)困難非常熟知，并能設(shè)法改進(jìn)教授方法以取得最佳效果。

積數(shù)年對(duì)英語(yǔ)的勤奮學(xué)習(xí)，我能毫無(wú)困難地用英語(yǔ)講課，并能與美國(guó)學(xué)生輕松相處。

本人1998年2月后即可到任。如需本人其他情況請(qǐng)隨時(shí)來(lái)函。謝謝你的考慮并期盼回音。

施宏起啟
