Dear Ms Jenkins，

I'm Li Hua and I plan to take a part­time job in a foreign capital company during the summer holiday. I have already filled in the application form and had my resume ready for it. However, I'm not sure about the

words and format. Therefore, I'm writing to ask for your help and professional advice. Would you please spare some time to read through the materials attached? Would you mind finding out the mistakes in terms of words and format? Besides, I'd like you to correct the mistakes found in the materials. I'd be most grateful if you could do me the favor.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

高考典例赏析

(1)文章开篇自我介绍并表明写信意图。随后说明求助的具体内容(请对方帮你修改所附材料的文字和格式)。最后表达希望和感激。

(2)范文中使用了大量亮点词汇和句型，如therefore关系明确，因果适当，不但使上下文融会贯通，而且突出了写信目的。Would you please do ...？是请求别人帮助的句型，用得恰到好处，符合说话者的身份；过去分词attached作定语，使句子更加简练地道，增加了文章的可读性。Would you mind doing ...？不同的句式表达了相同的意思，避免了表达形式的单一化，语气委婉。这是文章提档次的句子。most grateful道出了作者希望得到帮助的迫切和感激之情，也展示了作者较高的语言运用能力。
