Dear Mr. Johnson,

I’ve learned from a newspaper that some clerks are wanting in your company. I am eager to being one of them. So I am writing the letter. My name is Zhang Hua. I was born in the Hebei Province and I am in good health. I’ve just graduated in the Computer Department of Wuhan University. I did very good in all subjects and I am special good at computer studies and English. I can read science books in English and doing some writing in English as well. Beside, I know a little French. And in my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball. As is said that your company is very famous and I’ll very glad if you let me work for it. My telephone number is 027-89276628. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

2 . Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.
In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had not prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

6 . 475 Riverside Drive
New York N.Y. 10027
Jan.15, 2011
Dear John,
I’m sorry you didn’t get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn’t the right future for you. I think you’re wrong. You’re a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group’s play? You were excellent. People clapped (鼓掌) every time you walked on stage (舞台). Even the other actors loved you.
All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It’s part of an actor’s life. Even famous actors don’t get every part they want. I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you’re good at it. Don’t be discouraged because you lose one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all, you can always give up some other time.
Love,
Jane
