Dear sir:
I would like to apply for the position _____________________________________________
Dear Sir,
I would like to apply for the position of a part-time waiter, as was advertised in the newspaper.I am eighteen-year-old student studying at Senior High school.
As the summer vacation is coming, I hope to get a job to help me to gain some social experience and enrich my life.I’m available during the week so I have enough time for the work.
I once worked as a waiter for three months in a fast-food restaurant in my spare time, so I’m sure the working experience will qualify me for the position.
I’m outgoing, friendly as well as helpful, which I think will help me a lot in dealing with different customers.Besides, I can play the piano and it can surely build up a warmer and more friendly atmosphere.I would be available for an interview at any time and I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
Recently three kinds of foods are very popular in the United States.
Convenience Foods
Instead of buying only fresh foods, Americans buy many more convenience foods.These are foods which are ready partly or completely prepared.There are also many canned convenience foods, such as soups and vegetables.
Convenience foods save time and trouble.They are popular with people who are busy or who don’t like to cook or wash dishes.But they often cost more money than fresh, unprepared foods and may contain man-made additives.Also they don’t taste as good as home-cooked foods.
Health Foods
In the 1960s, a “back to-the-earth” movement was started by young people in the United States.The movement was a reaction against the harmful effects of technology.Many people now prefer natural and organic foods to the prepared foods sold in food stores.
Diet foods
These days Americans are more and more concerned with their weight.American supermarkets sell a variety of diet foods such as soft drinks, diet candy, and diet salad dressings.Each year dozens of new diets are popularized.However, some of the diet foods are unbelievable.There are tricks in their advertisements.

Protecting Copyright
Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music.As usual, she starts her computer and goes to Baidu.com to download music files.But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen.The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright.Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads.In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses.Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website.This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.
“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying.Down loaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.
Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong.She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends.When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obtaining others’ work without paying.
However, other teenagers have different ideas.Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers.“If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said.“So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothes addict,” he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office.He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States.The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual.In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.“A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes.In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale.Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity.Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money.“Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said.“For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

TAIBEI - Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”, seeking education on the Chinese mainland.
According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate programs on the mainland totaled 461 in 1996, 928 in 1997 and 839 in 1998.Although no latest official numbers were available,” Netbig.Com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with well over 1000 entering mainland campuses last year.
The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities.“Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market, Net.Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said.“I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,” said Lydia Chang, a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University.Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies.
A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there”.“They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.A Netbig.Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou.The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine.
