参考范文

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am Li Ming, a senior student of our school. Having read the notice about the rural volunteer teaching program on our university’s official website, I am writing to apply for participating in the program during the approaching vacation.

The reasons for my application are as follows. Firstly, this program is of far-reaching social significance because it helps rural students expand their knowledge. Meanwhile, it is a valuable opportunity for me to accumulate teaching experience, learn how to get along well with the students, and raise my awareness of responsibility.

As an English major, I will try to get the children in rural district more interested in English by telling stories, singing songs and playing games in class. In addition, I plan to organize some meaningful extracurricular activities to enrich their school life.

I will highly appreciate it if you give me this precious chance. Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming

尊敬的先生或女士：

我是李明，我们学校的一名大四学生。在看了我校官方网站上关于农村志愿者教学活动的通知后，我想申请在即将到来的假期参加该活动。

我申请的理由如下。首先，这个项目具有深远的社会意义，因为它能帮助农村学生拓展知识。同时，这也是我积累教学经验、学习如何与学生相处以及提高责任意识的宝贵机会。

作为一名英语专业的学生，我将通过在课堂上讲故事、唱歌、玩游戏等方式让农村地区的孩子们对英语更感兴趣。此外，我计划组织一些有意义的课外活动来丰富他们的学校生活。

如果您能给我这个宝贵的机会，我将不胜感激。感谢您抽时间考虑我的申请。我期待着您的答复。

谨上，

李明
