Mr．Li Quanzhi who has just returned to China from your university informed that you are considering the possibility of offering a Chinese language course to your students in the next academic year and may have an opening for a teacher of the Chinese language. I am very much interested in such a position.

I have been teaching Chinese literature and composition at college level since 1980. In the past three years, I have worked in summer programs, teaching the Chinese language and culture to students from English-speaking courtries. As a result， I got to know well the common problems of these students and how to adapt teaching to achieve the best results.

With years of intensive English training, I have no difficulty conducting classes in English and feel queit comfortable working with American students.

I will be available after February 1998．Please fell free to contact me if you wish more information. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Shi Hongqi

安德森博士：

从刚从贵校返回的李全志先生处，德知贵校正在考虑下学年给贵校学生开设中文课，或可有一中文教师之空缺。本人对此职颇有兴趣。

从1980年起，本人一直在高校讲授中国文学与写作课程。过去三年中，我曾主讲暑期课程，向来自英语国家的学生教授中国语言与文化。因此，我对外国学生常见的学习困难非常熟知，并能设法改进教授方法以取得最佳效果。

积数年对英语的勤奋学习，我能毫无困难地用英语讲课，并能与美国学生轻松相处。

本人1998年2月后即可到任。如需本人其他情况请随时来函。谢谢你的考虑并期盼回音。
