Dear Classmates of ENGL 301:

I want to apply to be a professional member of your writing team, as posted on blogs.ubc.ca/engl301-technicalwriting-98a-2018/unit-1/lesson-2. As a student from BCS program that would graduate soon, I believe this opportunity will be a valuable experience for me to master my technical writing ability.

I have been writing lover since I started learning English. I always enjoy writing some documents to someone else because I think writing is a beautiful word art. I used to be a private English tutor who teaches writing skills to a student in junior school. Also, I scored 7 (out of 9) at the writing section of IELTS (The International English Language Testing System) and passed the course ENGL 112 (Strategies for University Writing) with a good grade. I am sure these experiences could make me a competitive candidate for your writing team.

I am passionate about learning technical writing, which is one of my strengths. I am willing to explore new strategies and techniques in technical writing and responsible for any team tasks and peer reviews. However, I am not a native speaker, so my essays may not be native and fluent, but I am receptive to any suggestions and corrections from anyone since I believe these critical feedbacks are worthy to me to perfect my writing ability.

Regarding my learning philosophy, I believe the motto “practice makes perfect.” Therefore, every assignment or essay would be an excellent practice to me, and I would treat them seriously. Besides, reading other teammates’ essays and give my comments is also an effective method to draw on each other’s strength. And good feedbacks are also very beneficial to offset my weakness.

My email is v9m1b@ugrad.cs.ubc.ca. If my background meets your needs, feel free to response me as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Haotong Wang
