英语日记写作指导
英文日记和汉语日记一样，是用来记叙一天中所发生的有意义的事情或对将来的打算等。日记可分为记事、议论、描写及抒情等。记事型是用英语记述当天自己生活学习中发生的事情。议论型是对生活中的某一事情或情况现象谈自己的看法，发表议论。描写型或抒情型，则是对某人物事物的特征做细致的描述，或针对某事物抒发自己的感情。１．格式：
一般是在左上角记上当天日期，星期，时间的排列法与书信一致，星期写在日期之后；右上角写上当天的天气情况，表示天气情况的词一般是形容词，如：fine（晴朗的），cold（寒冷的），snowy（下雪），sunny（阳光充足的），rainy（下雨的），cloudy（阴天的）等。日记的小标题写在下一行，也可省略不写。２．时态：
写日记的时间一般是在下午、晚上，有时也可以在第二天补写。因此，日记中所记述的事情通常发生在过去，常用一般过去时；但当记述天气、描写景色或展望未来时，可以用一般现在时或一般将来时。
写法大致和写汉语日记相同，都是在正文之前有日期、星期几及当天的天气情况。注意内容表达要清楚连贯、准确。

（一）英语书信写作指导
1、书信写作要求
书信(Letter)一般可分为事务信件或公函(Business Letter or Offical Correspondence)以及私人信件
(Private Letter)两大类。一般包括以下几个要点： 1）收信人的姓名和地址；
2）寄信人的姓名及其与收信人的关系； 3）寄信人的地址（有时可以省略）； 4）写信的时间； 5）信的内容。
2、书信的格式
1）信头(Heading)； 2）称呼(Salutation)；
3）正文(Body of the letter)；
4）结束语(Complimentary close)； 5）签名(signature)。
（二）书信的种类
(1)邀请信
邀请信有正式和非正式之分，也有介于两者之间者。正式邀请信一般属于公函类，私人邀请信一般属于非正式文体。邀请朋友、熟人参加某一聚会时，再词句上不一 定多加斟酌，用词太正规倒显得关系不密切。但是如果与被邀请人不太熟悉的话，最好用正式文体。如虽认识但并不十分了解，文体可介于两个者之间。由此可见，私人邀请究竟用什么文体，关键看与被邀请人之间的亲疏的程度。邀请信要明确写出活动（是晚会、晚餐还是一般的聚会等）、活动的时间地点组织这项活动的理 由，有时还应告诉对方可能出席的人，另外一般希望对方给予答复。
（a）非正式邀请信，如； Coventry St.London Sept.15th, 1999.Dear Jack, I am going to the cinema to see the Red River Valley and I have two tickets.Would you like to come? The film starts at 7:30 p.m.Maybe we can meet at the Covent Garden Station at 7:00 p.m.and have a drink before the film starts.Please phone me at home to let me know.Looking forward to seeing you.Love Mary 这封信是写给朋友的，所以用语比较随便，比较口语化。（b）正式邀请信，如：
Dear Ms.Gupta;It’s our great pleasure to announce that Jan.19th is the 3rd anniversary of the founding of our corporation.We have a small party as follows: 7:00p.m.,Jan.19th, Room No.123, Kunlun Hotel.At this moment, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our clients for both courtesy and support over the past three years.Please confirm if you plant to attend.Yours Sincerely, Lewis 这是一封正式邀请信，十分正规，无论从句式，还是用语都十分讲究。(c)介于正式和非正式之间的邀请信，如： No.4 Middle School Beijing 100034 April 29th,2000 Dear Miss Katherine, I am very pleased to write to you.My name is Yu Hong and I am monitor of Class One, Grade Three of the No.2 Middle School of Ji'nan.Last year, you came here to give a speech, which was “Fast Reading”.My classmates and I all thank you very much.We will have an English evening at 7:00--9:00 on the evening of May 4th in our classroom.Would you please come and attend the evening party? At the party, we will sing English songs, play games and so on.And we are anxious to invite you to come to sing us an English song.After that we can enjoy the music.We hope to see you soon.Yours Yu Hong 这封信是写给一位外籍教师的，这位外籍教师曾经到过这所学校，虽然作者认识，但并不十分了解。(2)感谢信
感谢信可分为感谢馈赠、感谢款待、感谢帮助、感谢送行和感谢探病等。
感谢信一般包括以下几点： ①对收信人的称谓；
②写信的目的；（Thank you for…）
③致谢并详述所收到的礼物或得到的帮助等； ④结尾及谦称。如：
(3)求职信
求职信属于公务信函，格式和用词比较规。信的内容大体上分为三部分 ①写信的目的，②自我介绍，③要求。
注意下面几点：
①写信的目的要直截了当地在信的开头提出。②自我介绍部分主要介绍自己的学历、工作经历、解决问题的能力等等。在行文、用词上要表现出自信、恳切的态度，语言简明扼要，突出介绍自己的优点，与众不同的特长或有利条件。还要紧扣用人单位的需求，巧用词语，有国地说服对方，此职非你莫属。
③最后提出进一步联系的途径，如：时间、地点。还可以主动提出接受面试或考核等。④求职信在写作特点上主要用第一人称以及动词的一般现在时。(4)回信
写回信时应特别注意正确理解写信人的意图、所提问题、必须对写信人的问题给予明确的答复。
（三）书信结构
书写英语信件要注意下面几点： 英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：
1．书信结构 英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：
(1)信封（envelope）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一样外，英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中 右偏下处，如下：
Liu Yan-hua
Room 302, No.48, Yanan Road(M)stamp Shanghai, 20040
P.R.China Prof.John Hill 607 North Willington Avenue West Palm Beach, Florida 33404
U.S.A.(2)信头(heading)，即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。信头位于信的最上方，原则上首先按从小到大的顺序（正好与中文书信相反），门牌号码和街名或单位 名占一行（太长可占两行），城镇名和邮政编码占一行，国名占一行。然后是发信日期，它是信头的最后一行，可以写成日月年（英式）也可写成月日年（美式），如：May8，1996或8May，1996.必然说明的是，月份要写英文名称，否则有可能产生歧义，如5/8/1996，美国人会理解为1996年5 月8 日，而英国人则理解为1996年8 月5 日。
(3)信内姓名地址(inside address)，即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。封内地址必须和信封地址一致，否则就是出了差错，收信人此时可将信退回或按封内地址转寄。封内地址 的第一行是收信人姓名，第二行职务，从第三行开始写收信人地址，写出法原则上和写发信人地址一样。
(4)称呼(salutation)，即写对收信人的尊称（一般用Dear Mr.… ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss…,;Dear John,;Dear Professor Smith,等）。称呼应与亲近程度相吻合。最为正式的也是最不亲近的称呼为Dear Sir（英国用）或Dear Genteman（美国用），一般用于给政府机关、官员的公函中，或用于首次往来的商业书信中。比较熟识的人由应称他的姓，最随便也是最亲近的称呼是直呼其名，一般用于亲 朋好友，但应注意，称姓时只称姓，不要又称名，而称名时 不要加Dr或Mr.如某人全名为William.另外，如果对方为女性却不知应称Mrs.还是Miss时可称Ms.。称呼后面的标点英国人习惯用逗号，而美国人习惯用冒号（亲朋好友之间可用逗号）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般 只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部分的结构如下：
Liu Yan-hua Room 302, No 48, Yanan Road(M)Shanghai 200040 P.R.China June 22, 2002 Prof.John Hill 607
North Willington Avenue
West Palm Beach, Florida 33404 U.S.A.Dear Professor Hill，_____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________
注：如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间，因为彼此都知道对方的地址，故信头和信内的地址常常省略。
(5)正文(body)，即信件内的主要内容,是信的主体，和中文书信的要求一样，正文的内容要主题突了出、层次清楚、语言简洁、表达准确。如果正文很长需要几张信 纸联页时，则应在每张联页左上端都注明页数和收信人名称，如：Mr.WilliamJ.Hall。正文第一句句子一般和称呼之间空一至二行。
(6)信尾客套语(complimentary close)，即写信人在信的右（或左）下角，写上表示自己对收 信人一种礼貌客气的谦称,相当于文中书信最后的“祝好”、“致礼”之类的话语。如：Best wishes。
(7)信尾签名(signature)，即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名,如:Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendly yours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,。
如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：
(a)附件(Enclosure)，以Enc.表示，如“附有。。。证明”应写为Enc…Certificate；(b)再启（附言）(Postscript)，一封信写完了，突然又想起遗漏的事情，这时用P.S.表示，再写上遗漏的话即可，要长话短说。通常在信末签名下面几行的左方，应于正文齐头。注意：在正式的信函中，应避免使用附言。.表示；
(c)抄送件(Carbon Copy to…)，以c.c.表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商贸信函中。
第二篇：英语书信
英文信件格式
英语信件的种类比较多，有一般信件，邀请信，推荐信等。但几乎所有信件的格式都大同小异。书写英语信件要注意下面几点：
（一）英语书信结构、书写款式及要求：
1．书信结构
英语书信结构一般有以下几个部分组成：
1）信封（envelope）。英语的信封和中文的一样，有三部分组成，即发信人地址、收信人地址和邮票。只不过英语信封的格式除了邮票所贴的位置（信封的右上角）和中文的一样外，英语信封上要写的发信人和收信人的地址和中文的大不一样。发信人的地址应写在信封的左上角，收信人的地址应写在信封偏中右偏下处，如下：
2）信头(heading)，即写发信人的地址和日期（右上角）。3）信内姓名地址(inside address)，即写收信人的姓名和地址（左上角）。
4）称呼(salutation)，即写对收信人的尊称（一般用Dear Mr.„ ,;Dear Madam Helen,;Dear Miss„,;Dear John,;Dear Professor Smith,等）。称呼直接写在收信人地址的正下方，中间空一至二行。称呼后面的标点一般只能用逗号。以上信头、信内姓名和地址三部分的结构如下：
注：如果是相当熟悉和随便的朋友之间，因为彼此都知道对方的地址，故信头和信内的地址常常省略。
5）正文(body)，即信件内的主要内容。正文第一句句子一般和称呼之间空一至二行。
6）信尾客套语(complimentary close)，即写信人在信的右（或左）下角，写上表示自己对收 信人一种礼貌客气的谦称。一般有Sincerely,;Sincerely yours,;Yours sincerely,;Friendly
yours,;Truly yours,;Yours truly,;Cordially yours,;Yours cordially,等。
7）信尾签名(signature)，即亲笔签上写信人自己的姓名。如果是用打字机或电脑写的信，在写信人签名的上方，同样应该打上写信人的姓名。
除以上七个部分外，有时一些英语书信还包括：（1）附件(Enclosure)，以Enc.表示，如“附有。。。证明”应写为Enc„Certificate；（2）再启(Postscript)，以P.S.表示；（3）抄送件(Carbon Copy to„)，以c.c.表示，说明一式多份抄送其他有关人员。这些都是次要的补充部分。P.S.主要在私人信件中使用，事务信件中应避免使用，以免造成写信人粗心大意的印象。Enc.和c.c.大都用在商贸信函中。
2．书写款式
英语书信的款式一般有两种：齐头式(Block Style)和折衷式(Semi-Block Style)。齐头式常常在商贸、官方以及一些正式的信件中使用，以显示信件内容的严肃性，真实性，可靠性。而折衷式则显的比较随便，主要用于家人、朋友、私人之间来往的信件。如果两人之间不是第一次通信，相互比较了解，可以省略信内的双方地址。以下分别介绍齐头式和折衷式信件两种款式。
A: 齐头式信件款式：（范文 1。）
注：用齐头式信件写信，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。每段的第一句句子不需要空
格，但段与段之间需要空一至二行。齐头式信件的信尾客套话和签名可以有两种款式。第一种写在左下方，这是最常用也是最正式的。另外也可以写在右下方，这种形式则表示写信人与收信人之间的关系比较熟悉随便。下面是另一种齐头式信件的格式。
齐头式信件款式：（范文 2。）
B: 折衷式信件款式： 用折衷式书写信件，其正文与称呼之间空一至二行。第一段第一句的第一个单词必须在Dear称呼的直接下面。以后每段开头都要与第一段第一个字对齐。信尾的客套话和签名都写在右下方。朋友之间写信一般都使用折衷式，而且称呼与正文之间一般不空行。具体款式和要求参见后面的一些信件。以下是一封折衷式信件。
3．信件书写要求：
写英语信件一般可以使用打字机、电脑，朋友之间比较随便的信件也可以用钢笔、圆珠笔甚至彩色笔，但不宜用铅笔。不管你用什么形式书写，一些重要的信件，签名处必须用深蓝色或黑色墨水笔签名。
（二）各类常用信件
1）感谢信
2）祝贺信
3）邀请信
4）一般信件
5）商业信件
6）求学信

英文书信通常由下列五个部分组成(以缩进式为例)：
A 信头（Heading）
信头包括写信人地址和写信日期，通常写在信笺的右上角。在比较熟识的朋友之间的通信，写信人的地址常可略去。地址的写法通常是由小到大
B 称呼（Salutation）
称呼指写信人对收信人的称呼，如Dear Xiaojun，写在信头的下方和信笺的左边。称呼一般用Dear…或My dear…开头，称呼后一般用逗号。
C 正文（Body）
这是书信的主体部分，即写信人要表达的内容。
D 结束语（Complimentary Close）
它是书信结尾的恭维话，相当于文中书信最后的“祝好”、“致礼”之类的话语。“Best wishes”, “I love you”, “Many thanks” “Give my regards to your family”E 签名（Signature）
签名通常签在结束语下方的中间偏右的位置，.签名应是亲笔书写，即使是打写机打出的信件，最后仍需亲笔签名。在签名的上方可根据写信人和收信人的关系写上Sincerely yours/Yours sincerely（用于长辈或朋友之间），或
Respectfully yours/Yours respectfully（用于对长辈或上级）。

第四篇：英语书信格式
一 英文书信的组成部分
英文书信一般由六部分组成。
信头（Heading）
信内地址（Inside Address）
称呼（Salutation）
正文（Body of Letter）
结束语（Complimentary Close）
署名（Signature），有时在书信后面还有附言（Postscript）、附件（Enclosure），这得视具体情况而定。下面将分别说明。
1.信头（Heading）
信头是指写信人的地址和写信日期，一般写在或打在第一面信纸的右上角，先写地址再写日期，地址的写法是从小到大，先写门牌号、路号，再写区名、市名、省名，最后写国名。时间的写法对英国人和美国人而言是不同的。英国人习惯按日、月、年的顺序写，而美国人习惯按月、日、年的顺序写。例如：
英式：1st October，1999
美式：October 1，1999
在使用前一种形式时，月和年之间的逗号可用可不用，但是在后一种形式中，必需要使用逗号。
信头的写法有缩进式和齐头式。缩进式每行开头向右缩进一两个字母；齐头式左边对齐排列，如下所示：
缩进式
Wang Ming
Dept.of Chemical Engineering
Dalian University of Technology
Dalian116023
Liaoning Province
P.R.China
齐头式
Wang Ming
Dept.of Chemical Engineering
Dalian University of Technology
Dalian 116023
Liaoning Province
P.R.China
2.信内地址（Inside Address）
信内地址要写出收信人的姓名和地址。一般给比较生疏的亲友的信和公事信件要写出信内地址，而熟悉朋友可以省去这一步骤。信内地址写出在日期下一两行的左上角，第一行写收信人的称呼姓名，然后写出地址。地质也是从小到大写出，分缩进式和齐头式两种。例如：缩进式
The President
Oxford University
齐头式
Jiang Bin
64Heping Road

一、感谢信
Sample 1 June 2006 Dear Mr.Seaton，Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London.It was the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sights.If I'd gone alone, I couldn't have seen nearly as much, because I wouldn't have known my way about.The weather was splendid on that day, which I thought was rare.I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate.During the same day, it might snow in the morning, rain at noon, shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls.So I think I was lucky.I think the river trip was the best thing of all.London really came alive for me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down to Greenwich.It was all tremendously exciting － a day that I shall never forget.Thank you for giving me such a great birthday treat.Yours sincerely, Linda Chen
Sample 2 July 2006
Dear Mr.Wang，Thank you for taking the time to write your wonderful letter in support of MCEA(Maywood Chinese Education Association).Your letter clearly articulates all the major reasons children in Maywood will benefit from studying the Chinese language as part of their elementary school education.It provides invaluable support that will help making bilingual Chinese education a reality in Maywood public schools.Although MCEA would like to see Palo Alto public schools implement the first bilingual Chinese kindergarten class in September of 2006, we have learned that the school district must take the time to understand how a new program will affect existing educational offerings, and to validate community interest.Nevertheless, MCEA, with more than 70 members, will continue to actively promote bilingual Chinese education in the Palo Alto public schools and will keep you apprised of the progress we make.Thanks again for sending a letter in support of MCEA.We' will continue to do all we can to realize this program both for families of Chinese descent and those with a general interest in participating in the growing economic power of China.Yours sincerely，George Chen

Dear Mary, Thanks for your last letter.I'm so glad that you have been able(at last!)to arrange a holiday in Australia.As I fear I won't be able to meet you at the airport when you arrive, nor will I be able to be home until later in the afternoon, so here are some instructions and suggestions.There is a bus from the airport to the city.It is much cheaper than a cab.Take the bus to the city and ask to get off at Town Hall railway station.To get to my place in the eastern suburbs you have three options.You can either take a cab, a bus or the train.I suggest you take the train, since the airport bus will leave you right at the station.Get off at Cliff Station.From there you can either walk to my place(about ten minutes)or take a taxi.Probably you should take a taxi as you will have luggage.When you arrive at my flat, ring the intercom for Flat 2.My friend Lillian will be at home and she will open the front door for you and let you into my flat.Presumably you will be tired and want to sleep.But if you feel like some exercise after that long flight, you could stroll down to Cooper Park, which is only ten minutes away ¾ you can see it from the window.Cheers and looking forward to seeing you.Yours sincerely, Annie

Dear Sir, I noticed an ad.In the paper today you said you were looking for people to join your expedition team.It sounded as if it might be fun so I'm writing to say I'd like to come along.About myself: I left school at 16 because I wanted to earn a bit of money.After that I got a few part-time jobs as a waiter, etc.But I didn't stick to any of them for long.Recently I've been doing a bit of hitch-hiking round Europe so I've had some experience of traveling the hard way which should come in handy on the expedition you're planning.By the way, I'm a great guitarist so I can keep you all amused round the campfire at night.Let me know when I can call in for a chat about dates and other details, etc.Yours, David Smith

Dear Sir，I am writing to apply for a British Council scholarship to study in Britain.I did my five years' basic training in medicine at Shanghai University.After this I successfully completed a one-year postgraduate course in Ophthalmology at the People's General Hospital, where I am at present serving a two-year probation in the Eye Clinic.As a result of the publication in 2003 of my article in New Scientist entitled “Soft and Rigid Contact Lenses ”, which was based on a survey of 37 patients over 6 months, I made contact with Dr.Li Ming of the Capital Hospital and Dr.Ma Li of the University College Hospital.I have received their help and advice with my current research project, which is a two-year survey of the acceptance of various types of contact lenses in 200 patients.Despite their help, I feel that I cannot make real progress in this field unless I can actually have day-to-day contact with these specialists.I would therefore like to continue my research at either the Capital Hospital or the UCH as soon as my probationary period here is completed, and I would like to study in Britain for two years.I enclose a detailed curriculum vitae and an offprint of my article, together with two letters of recommendation from Dr.Li Ming and Dr.Ma Li.Yours faithfully, Lily Chen

Sample 1 April 2006
Dear Sir, I saw your advertisement for “the perfect lighter” in Sunday Times last week and immediately sent off a £2 postal order and the completed form for the lighter.Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches!I could understand a mistake.I might even pardon a joke.But in this case, your advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the coupon got the same result.I think it's a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are not selling a lighter a1 all.Instead of saying it works quickly, you should admit that you are offering matches.And what about “only” £2: I usually pay 10 pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send me my money back immediately.Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure the Consumers' Association hear about it.Yours faithfully, Peter Li

Dear Sir，I am highly disappointed in the proposed 2004-05 budget cuts to educa1ion.Taking away basic aid status and slashing our school budgets is a recipe for educational disaster in our school.The future lies with our children.They must have access to high quality educa1ion.My husband and I have worked hard to be able to live in a school district that provides high quality education for our children.Cutting funding in districts like ours will have a negative impact on property values.The school that my daughter attends is hardly wha1 I would describe as a “rich” school.Parents are asked to pay for books for all the classes, science supplies and for their students to participate in the performing arts among other items.If our school is to remain a world leader in technological development, cutting our school funds is the worst possible choice to make.Education funds should not be diverted away from education.Yours faithfully，Tom Williams

Dear Tom, Thanks for your letter which finally caught up with me in London.I suppose you're keen to hear how the trip has been so far.So here's a short description of what's happened.Well, you remember we left Sydney on Monday and arrived in London 24 hours later.After such a long and exhausting flight the first thing we did was to have a good, long sleep.And after that¾a good meal to make up for all that horrible airline stuff!The first real day of our holiday was spent just walking around London to get a feel of the place.After that, however, we were more particular and planned each day carefully.First, we looked at all the historical sights, such as the Tower of London, the Houses of Parliament, the British Museum and the National Gallery.Then we visited some other famous places, such as Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath.Finally, we took a one-day trip to Oxford, which is really the most marvelous town.You should make sure to go there when you visit England.After we had seen a lot of London, we flew to Paris.A t first, we didn't like the place－I suppose because it was so different from London.Later, though, we began to really love it and started to appreciate its differentness.The final stage of our trip is a visit to Rome, after which we will be staying in Singapore for two days before returning to Australia.Hope everyone is well.See you soon.Sample Writing 2: March 2006
Dear Tom, I'm just writing to let you know that we're all well, and I hope you are, too.Unfortunately, I've got some rather bad news for you: I'm afraid I made a bit of a mess of John's car.Anyway, here's what happened.We were on our way to Carol's after a long party, and I suppose it must have been about eleven o’clock.Well, the last few miles back home were really dark and deserted.I now realize I was probably going a bit too fast for a country lane because, although the road was fairly straight, I drove up onto the curb and went into a tree.Of course, John was absolutely furious and started shouting at me and cursing.After we' d argued for a few moments, we decided to look at the damage, and he calmed down a bit.Well, we found we could move the car, but the wing was caught on the wheel, so we couldn't drive it.I tried to pull the wing clear, but I didn't succeed.Anyway, John went off to phone for a breakdown lorry, but while he was away, I had another go at the wing and this time succeeded in pulling it right off.I threw it onto the back seat, and by that time John got back and we were ready to go¾so we didn't need the breakdown lorry at all.John has more or less forgiven me now, but he was very angry with me for a few days.I suppose I was a bit careless.Well, that's all for now.Next time I write I hope I'll have better news for you.Yours sincerely, Linda Chen

Dear Sir, I understand your well-respected college offers a number of places to overseas students every year, and I am writing to enquire about the application procedure.I am at present a student at Mary High School, Hong Kong, where I have been studying for the past five years.I passed the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination last year with distinctions in English and History, and credits in Economics and English Literature.My advanced-level subjects are History, Economics and English Literature.In addition to these subjects, “Use of English” is also a compulsory subject because a pass in English is a minimum requirement for admission to most faculties of the University of Hong Kong.Apart from academic work, I have been actively involved in extra-curricular activities.I am Chairman of the English Club and I have represented my school in many inter-school contests.On the advice of my friends, I have decided to further my studies in England because I wish to widen my horizons and benefit from the scholarly heritage of your country.I wish to continue to study the above-mentioned subjects at your college in the 2006/7 academic year before I sit the Advanced-level Examinations in England.As regards my character, Mrs.Chen, my Principal, and Mr.Huang, my English master, have agreed to act as my references.As I come from a family of fairly limited means, I would like to know if there is any financial assistance available for overseas students.Attached is a summary of my qualifications for your reference.I should be grateful if you would kindly consider my application and notify me of the result at your earliest convenience.Should you require any further information, please feel free to contact me or my references.Yours faithfully, Lily Chen

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours faithfully, Tom Jolly
