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,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。 施宏起启
