Dear Sir or Madam

　　I am a student from Xinhua Middle School, aged 17.I think I'm qualified for the job .First of all, as a student, I've read a lot and have much knowledge in many fields. I'm enthusiastic about English and do well not only in speaking but also in writing. Besides, I'm easy to get along with an enjoy working together with others. Last but not least, I once worked as a reporter for my school broadcasting station. So I'm sure I can do the job well if I get the position.

　　I would appreciate it if you could allow me an interview.I'm looking forward to your reply.
