Dear Sir/ Madam,

My name is W---,But if you like, Zoe is my English name.

I am a junior student in English Department of Foreign Language School, South West University, China. And I am going on 21 years old this March. I love my country as well as the colorful diversity of culture. America is a land of wander. She welcomes and embraces all kinds of culture and she is also the most developed country in the world. It has been my long-desired dream to see her with my own eyes, talk to her with my own mouth, and make friends with her with my whole heart. And this is my “American Dream”. I believe, by working in your company, being an excellent staff of yours, I will realize my “American Dream” in the most rewarding direction.

I firmly believe that, in our world there will always be more solutions than difficulties. So I never yield to difficulties. When I get a task, I fulfill it with every effort. So, people around me say that I am very responsible. Punctual is another characteristic of me. Because I just don’t like the feeling of being late. I like drawing pictures and when I was a 5th-year-student at primary school, I enrolled in a drawing studio. The whole study of drawing lasted for almost 6 years. It helped me become more patient and much easier to concentrate myself, for in order to give birth to a satisfied picture, I have to ignore all the distractions, concentrate on the pencils and papers and be patient enough to finish the picture one touch after another. At university, I designed and painted many posters for my community. I also like playing ping-pong ball and badminton. Those sports make me feel energetic and happy. Reading is also one of the many hobbies of mine. Harry Potter is my favorite novel now.

I have been a tutor of English during the previous summer holiday. The kids liked me very much. I also volunteered in a project launched by the local Education Bureau aiming at helping the local poverty-stricken university students in the summer of 2007. In the next summer holiday, I joined the group work with several other schoolmates in doing a survey about the development of china making industry of my hometown. We went to the relevant government offices and the factories, interviewed different kinds of people (the government officers, the managers, the workers as well as the masters of china-making in factories). We cooperated well and the better understanding of the china-making history and development made us more proud of our hometown.

I know I am ready for the 3 months’ work and life in America. Also, I believe I will be an excellent employee of yours, and when I come back to China, I will bring home the friendship from American as well as harvest a fresh look on your land of wonders.

Thanks for your time and wish you all the best!

Sincerely,
W----
