Dear Mr. Blake,
It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the assistant account manager position at the Smith & Smith Co. Ltd. The job seems to be a very good match for my skills and interests. In addition to my keen interest, I will bring to the position strong writing skills and the ability to encourage others to work well with the department. My art background will help me to work with artists on staff and provide me with an understanding of the artistic aspects of our work.
I understand your need for office work support. My basic trainings and organizational skills will help to free you to deal with larger issues. I neglected to mention during my interview that I had worked for two summers as a part-time office worker. This experience helped me to develop my skills as an office secretary.
I appreciate the time you took to interview me. I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you about this position.
Best regards,
John Smith

Task 1 Directions: After rending the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
On deciding to buy your first home, you’re likely to be excited and full of enthusiasm (热情). However, you should take care to plan well and understand the process to avoid any unexpected problems.
Here are some things you’ll need to consider to help you get started.
First, think about what you need and what you want from your new home. Perhaps you need to be close to your place of work because you don’t drive. It may be that you want a large garden to satisfy your gardening hobby. Be sure to understand the differences between needs and wants as it’s likely you’ll need to give up some of your wants.
Then, use the internet, your local library and your friends and family to find out all you can about the buying process. You’ll need to make decisions down the line and it will help if you understand the buying process.
At this stage, you will normally need to contact a mortgage (按揭) advisor to see how much money you can borrow.
Of course, there are lots of costs related to buying a home which may not be immediately clear to first time buyers.
