一、第一段说明写信的目的,有些人认为不宜用分词句子,比如用下面的句子做开头,因为这样的句子被人用得大多,显得陈腐,失去特点。 replying to your advertisement…… thinking that there is a vacancy in your company…… having read your ad…… 二、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意,下列句子不宜使用: as for salary, i do not know what to say. would $4,500 a month be too much? you know what my services are worth better than i do. all i want is a living wage. 三、在提到希望得到的待遇时,可用类似的句子: i'd prefer not to set a salary, but since you ask, i consider 6,500 a month to be satisfactory. i don't feel that i should set my own salary, as i am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. however, i would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship.
