Well begun is half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.

I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 thousand dollars a year in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success.

Dr. Guoliang Li

Director of the Human Resources Office Shanghai Star

20F, Huaihai Building

200 Huaihai Road (Middle) Shanghai 200021 Dear Dr. Li,

- 107-

In searching for employment opportunities on the Internet, I learned of a job vacancy in the Public Affairs Reporting Section of your newspaper. I believe that my qualifications match the requirements you have listed for the position.

As a journalism major at Xuanwu University in Nanjing, my academic training has enabled me to develop my writing and editing skills, particularly in the reporting of public affairs. At college, English, Reporting Public Affairs, Advertising and Public Relations have been my favorite subjects. I would like to utilize my interests and training to the fullest through working on a newspaper as well-known as your own.

My resume reflects my experience as a journalistic intern with two newspapers in Nanjing. While working there I did both research work and reporting. I greatly enjoyed work as a profes-sional reporter and the challenge of writing to deadlines, all of which I successfully met.

I have won several awards for my journalistic work and was admitted to the Journalists' Association of Jiangsu Province last year. I was the vice chairman of the Students' Union in my university for two years. The enclosed resume provides further information about my experi-ence and background.

I wonder if it would be possible for us to meet one of these days so that you could learn more about me and I could find out more about the specifics of the job. Please call me anytime on (025) 9709399 Monday through Friday. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,

Hong Qin

Part I Pre-Reading Task

Script for the recording:

The memory stands as a painful reminder of what society expected of Juanita Brooks, a biracial woman born in a race-conscious America more than 50 years ago.

It was 1969, and a 22-year-old Brooks had moved from New York City to Miami, where she applied for a teaching position. Upon learning of Brooks' biracial background, the school's principal said, \

The principal's assumption that Brooks was ashamed of her black heritage echoed what society expected at the time — for a biracial woman to choose one race over another.

\statement.\

Brooks' fair complexion and straight, brown hair make it easy to be perceived as white. But when faced with a choice, it was her black roots she embraced. After all, her birth certificate said she was black. And for years, either she or her parents checked the \

Why? Because Brooks' lineage is European American and African American. Historically, a person with any \counting people of mixed-race heritage dates to the Civil War era, and often is referred to as the \drop\

It wasn't until last year that Brooks officially could claim to be both races. Because of changes in federal guidelines for collecting statistics, Census 2000 was the first that allowed people to identify themselves as more than one race. There were 63 racial combinations to choose from, and almost 7 million Americans checked more than one, according to national census figures.

Brooks, 54, checked African American and white.

\view concerning race. The word biracial ... wasn't even thought of.\

But new views have emerged. The younger generation is more diverse, and multiracial, multiethnic people are seeing themselves in a different light.
