答案

Dear sir,

     I would like to apply for the position of a part-time waiter, as was advertised in the newspaper. I am an eighteen-year-old student studying at Senior High school.

     As the summer vocation 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 sincerely,

Li Hua

Disease, poverty, hate, love-Charles Dickens' stories opened his readers' eyes to the most important themes of his age.Two hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens' legacy (遗产) was far greater than just "great literature".

February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer's birthday.To mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern world.Let's take a look at two of them.

A while Christmas

Dickens is described as "the man who invented Christmas" -not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive (喜庆的) season today.

In the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt.The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day - unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone, but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.

Many people believe that Dickens' popular depictions(描绘) of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come.In his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas,but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-“home enjoyments, affections and hopes".

In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote, "Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas."

"Dickensian" poverty

Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian (the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901) London.

He helped popularize the term "red tape" to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy (官僚作风) in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society.

"Dickensian" has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty.In 2009, when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation in some areas, of Britain, she did not use words like "terrible" or "horrific", but rather described it as "life mirroring the times of Dickens".
