One possible version:
Dear Sir,
I’m writing to request a valuable chance to be one of the host families of the British students.
We have a large and clean house, which lies in a beautiful area of the city. I’m good at English and my parents are both professors of English, so I’m sure we won’t have any difficulty communicating with English speakers. My father is an excellent driver and we will be very glad to show foreign students around some nearby places of interest in our own car. Last month we received two American students. We had a good time. Besides, my mother cooks well, so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food. I would greatly appreciate it if I have the chance to make friends with them.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
题目分析：本文是一篇材料作文，材料以表格的形式给出。写作要点清晰明了，对比鲜明，比较容易下笔。在写作前需认真审题，首先要注意作文使用的时态，材料要求写一份申请，介绍自己的优势，用一般现在时即可。要求给校长写信，因此作文须用第一人称。不能根据材料逐字逐句的翻译，注意句子的衔接，做到连贯、美观，以提高作文的档次。
【亮点说明】例文中使用了非常好的短语，这为文章增色不少。比如one of the host families；which lies in a beautiful area of the city。还运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句；固定句型have difficulty doing；appreciate it if...等。
