Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am Li Hua from Class One, Senior Three. I’m writing in reply to the notice for host families. I think I have several reasons to accommodate one foreign friend. First, I believe my English is good enough to communicate with foreigners. Also, my good communication skills enable me to keep a good relationship with others. As for accommodation, my family live in a 4-room apartment and there is always a spare room for the guest. In addition, my home is very convenient in transportation. Its location makes it easy to take either subways or buses to most places. I have also got support from my parents, who said yes without hesitation when informed of my wish.

I would appreciate it if my application is taken into account.

Yours sincerely

Li Hua

题目分析：考查书信类作文，要求写一封自荐信，是关于征集接待家庭的，要点都已经给出，是以通知的形式给出，写作前要读懂读透通知内容，包括语言，住宿和交通的情况做出说明，审题时注意本文使用的时态，运用合适的语法规则和词汇把各要点都准确表述出。难点在于选择词汇和句型，可以灵活运用省略句，倒装句和强调句型准确表述。如范文里面的Its location makes it easy to take either subways or buses to most places.和 I have also got support from my parents, who said yes without hesitation when informed of my wish.还有要用适当的关联词把文章串联起来：象also, In addition,,等等。

点评：书信类短文的关键在于要点要全面包括，不能有遗漏和省略。同时注意谋篇布局的顺序，词汇句型的选用，运用合适的连接词连接全文，同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。
