Dear Sir,
Four years as a senior clerk in sales department of the New World Products Company have,
I believe,given me the experience to qualify for the job you advertised in Thursday\'s newspaper.
Since 1981 I have been responsible for all office details in the administration of sales,
including writing much of the correspondence. In the course of my work,
I have become familiar with the various sales territories,
and have also in my spare time experience of handling business problems other than my proper sphere.
The years before I was employed at the New World, I was a secretary for Long Brother,
an accounting firm. There I became familiar with accounting terms and procedures．
I was graduated at Wah Yan College, in June 1974. I am twenty-five years of age and single．
I am leaving my present position because I can use my capabilities more fully in a position with wider scope.
Mypresent employer knows of my ambition and is helping me to find a new place.
May I see you at your office to tell you more about myself and show you just how well I can do the work you require.
Yours faithfully,

MyEnglish and ME
I'm Bai Yong-qing, my English nickname is Bill. I’m 35 years old, an army officer on active service. My rank is Lieutenant Colonel, The present duty is station master, software engineer, working for a PLA Automation Station.
In 1986, I passed through the National Matriculation and went to PLA Institute of Physical Education in Guangzhou, in which I had majored military communication command for 4 years. In 1990, I graduated with my first bachelor's degree and went to work for army. Five years later, I was arranged to go to PLA University of Science and Technology in Nanjing to study computer technology for my work. Now, I’m studying computer master’s degree in Dalian University of Technology. In army, I mainly engaged in the works in the aspect of Information War and C4ISR(Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) such as research, drilling, construction, application, management and development etc. Mastering communications and computer technology, such as computer network, data traffic, software development, database and data warehouse, multi-media processing and so on. Having rich practice experience and higher level of management, I’ve finished several large scale and important project of nation or army. I’ve developed many software by myself and got a lot award.
I’m proud of my experience, but facing the swift development of IT, facing the global incorporate military situation, facing up-to-date military transformation, I’ve always been worrying and hurrying about my poor English. I’m thinking that，on the one hand, I’ll be right a person with a very limited outlook and very difficult to accomplish my duty and mission in modern military affairs without good English. On the other hand, I have no self-confidence for learning English well, because I’ve studied English for over 20 years but only drawn a blank. Just at occasion, as we’ve seen ,a plan named High-tech Strong Military Training Plan was started in Army. Therefore , I’ve been recommended to be a graduate student of DUT. It was really a godsend, I have had got a good opportunity of learning English , I made up my mind again that I must study English well, I must speak beautiful English.
Having arrived Dalian, to pass through the National Matriculation of graduate student, I signed up and participated in LYCE(LiYang Crazy English) training class, then, I took a three-hour class every night in three weeks. That was surprising! By the end of the three weeks, however, my English had been improved very much, while I had studied a lot things that I had never gained in past 20 years. I even won the first place in the examination of training class and I past the examination of graduate student successfully. More important, I have retrieved my confidence of learning English. I’ve been interested in learning English and have found a happy and easy way to learn English. During the period of my study, practice and experience in less than a year, my English level had been constantly raising so quickly. moreover, I have still invented a set of theory and method of learning English. I called it "MyEnglish". I really wanted to promote "MyEnglish" to more person very much. I really wanted more person away from the pain of learning English. So I have developed "MyEnglish" series software and built "MyEnglish" website on internet. Though I have paid lots of time and energy, there are still some people not to understand me, nevertheless, I feel very glad and satisfaction with all what I’ve done. I’m very happy and lucky to have gained more support of the friend from widely area. Especially, I do thank the staffer of LYCE Dalian Promoting Center, thank the teachers and students of DUT. I do appreciate all the people who have helped me ever.
I enjoy thinking, enjoy learning, enjoy working. I’d love to make friend, I’m willing to become all the people’s friend. I wish all the friends to improve their study, have successful business. Happy everyday to everyone!
Thanks for reading.

我和“我的英语”
我叫白永青，英文名字叫“Bill”,今年35岁，现役陆军军官，中校军衔，解放军某部自动化站站长、软件工程师，1986年我通过了高考，考入解放军体育学院，军事通信指挥专业四年本科，1990年毕业到部队工作。5年后由于工作需要继续攻读了解放军南京理工大学读计算机本科，现在大连理工大学攻读计算机硕士。在部队主要从事信息战、指挥自动化方面的研究、训练、建设、应用、管理、开发等工作，掌握数据通信、计算机网络、软件开发、数据库及多媒体等通信与计算机技术，有丰富的实践经验和很高的管理水平，参加建设了多项国家、军队的大型重点项目，独立设计了多套应用软件，获得过国家和军队的多项奖励。
我的经历让我自豪，可面对信息技术的迅猛发展，面对全球一体化的军事格局，面对新军事革命，我却一直为一件事苦恼和焦急，那就是我的“破烂”英语。我一方面觉得，不学好英语，自己就始终是一只“井底之蛙”，不学好英语就难以在现代军事领域中有所作为。可另一方面，又对自己没有什么信心，因为，自己曾学了二十多年的英语，却都是“竹篮打水”。就在这个时候，军队开始实施“高科技强军科技人才培养计划”，我被推荐来大连理工大学读研究生，这真是天赐良机，我又有了一次很好的英语学习机会，我再一次下定决心，我一定要学好英语，一定要说出一口漂亮的英语。
来到大连后，为了通过研究生考试，我参加了李阳疯狂英语的培训班，没想到，仅仅三周的时间里，却有了巨大的进步和收获，学到了很多以前根本没学到的东西，在培训班结业考试中考了个第一名，也顺利通过了研究生的考试。更重要的，我对自己有了信心，对英语产生了兴趣，并找到了一种轻松快乐的英语学习方法。经过近一年多的学习、实践和体验，自己的英语水平提高很快，不仅如此，我还创造了我的一整套的英语学习理论和方法，我称之为“我的英语”，我很想把我的理论和方法推广给更多的人，很想让更多的人不再为英语苦恼，于是我又设计开发了相应的软件、建立了自己的网站。尽管我付出了很多的时间和精力，还不被一些人理解，可是我为自己所做的一切感到开心和满足。幸运的是，我得到了来自各地的朋友们的支持。我特别感谢李阳疯狂英语大连推广中心的员工们，感谢大连理工大学的老师和同学们，感谢所有给我支持帮助的人。
我喜欢思考，乐于学习，热爱工作。我喜欢交朋友，愿意和任何人成为朋友，这里，我祝所有的朋友学习进步、事业有成、生活幸福。
