dear dr. anderson,

　　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,

　　jian xinqi
