3 3 Question: If you were Mr. John Smith, would you give Jenny the chance of a job interview? 10/6/2006 Dear John, My aunt Susan told me that you are looking for a secretary. Is that true? I want this job very much. And I’ll work deadly hard if you give me the chance to try. Love, Jenny

4 4 Brainstorm What information do you think an application letter should contain?  The name of the applicant.  The age of the applicant.  The qualifications of the applicant.  The educational background of the applicant.  Some special skills.  Telephone number or e-mail address. ……

5 5 How to organize Application Letters

6 6 Read a writing sample. Find out and write down the six parts of Lin Xue’s letter. 1. Heading: The writer’s address: ___________________ The date of writing: ____________________ 2. Inside address: ________________________ 3. Salutation: ____________________________ 4. Introductory part: _____________________ 5. Body: ________________________________ 6. Closing: ______________________________ 7. Complimentary closing: _______________ 8. Signature: _____________________________

7 7 Solve the problem: Why wouldn’t John give Jenny the chance of a job interview? 10/6/2006 Dear John, My aunt Susan told me that you are looking for a secretary. Is that true? I want this job very much. And I will work deadly hard if you give me the chance to try. Love, Jenny Jenny didn’t give her address in the letter.Jenny didn't write an inner address. It is not polite to address someone you don’t know by his first name like “Dear John”. The slang expression “work deadly hard” could not be used on formal occasions. The complimentary closing “love” should not be used in an application letter for someone you don’t know. Jenny didn’t give her family name to Mr Smith. Her writing style is too casual.

8 8 Rearrange the fragments Peter’s application letter has been torn by his naughty cat. Please help him rearrange the fragments into a complete letter. Group work: Try to find correct place and stick them in correct order.
