Dear Sir or Madam,

I am a third year student majoring in history at the Beijing Normal University and seek your assistance to help me finance this final year of my course.

This year, I need more time for my studies and have had to cut back on the outside jobs. I want to get as good a pass mark as I possibly can hence; I have made studying my priority. This is the reason I seek your help through a student loan.

I am not exactly sure of the rules and conditions related to a student loan and would appreciate it if you could send me the details for repayments, the interest rates applicable and the periods for which loans are available. Thank you in anticipation of your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

预测范文

As is shown in the picture above, raising up his head, a young boy is holding a glorious sun with his firm hand. The caption indicates that “With dreams, our heart can fly high; with flight, our dreams will not be far away”.

Some people think that dream is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic. Obviously, dream is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic. First and foremost, there is power in dream. The dream can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion. The dream can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. Furthermore, we are born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder and dream that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, no matter how old they are. Lastly, people with dreams also love what they do, regardless of money or power or title.

In short, God gives each bird its food, but he does not throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, just cherish your precious dreams and let your dream be realized.

如图所示，一个小男孩抬起头，正在用坚定的手托举着一颗辉煌的太阳。文字说明显示：“有了梦想，我们的心有了飞翔。有了飞翔，我们的梦想不再遥远”。

有些人认为梦想对成功有好处，而其他人认为由于梦想可能使人们不太现实，因此梦想没什么好处。显而易见，只有在梦想鼓舞人心并非常现实的情况下，梦想才对我们的生活是必须的。首先，梦想拥有力量。梦想可以引领人们走上他们想选择的道路，并且给予我们激情。梦想可以是对生活的热爱，使我们的眼中熠熠闪光，使我们的步伐轻快，抚慰我们灵魂的创伤。其次，我们生来就拥有天真热情的惊喜之情，任何人只要曾经见过婴儿对于钥匙叮当声或甲虫爬行的快乐，都会深有体会。正是这种孩子似的惊喜和梦想，才赋予热情的人们一种青春的气息，无论他们岁数多大。最后，拥有梦想的人们不顾金钱、权利或职位，也热爱他们的所作所为。

总之，世界上有许许多多的机会，但我们必须自己去把握。无论你想做什么，珍惜你可贵的梦想并让梦想实现。
