二、在提到希望得到的待遇时，可用类似的句子：

I'd prefer not to set a salary, but since you ask, I consider 6,500 a month to be satisfactory. 来源：考试大

It's hard for me to say what my salary should be set at, but if pressed I would have to ask for a month as an initial salary. 来源：考试大

I don't feel that I should set my own salary, as I am happy enough to have the privilege of working for you. However, I would consider a month satisfactory compensation for my apprenticeship. 来源：考试大

三、提起或要求待遇时不要过分谦虚或表示歉意，下列句子不宜使用：

As for salary, I do not know what to say. Would $4,500 a month be too much? 来源：考试大

Do you think I would be asking too much if I said 5,000 dollars a month?

You know what my services are worth better than I do. All I want is a living wage. 来源：考试大

四、关于求职信的结尾用语，下面也有三组例句。每一组里面(1)句较差，经过修改后(2)句显得比较恰当。 来源：考试大

A:

(1)软弱、羞怯的： If you think I can fill the position after you have read my letter, I shall be glad to talk with you.

(2)改写后（较佳）： If my qualifications meet your standards, I would be happy to speak with you in person.

B:

(1)怀疑，不妥、不安全的： If you are interested, please let me know immediately, as I'm sure an interview will convince you I'm the man for the job.

(2)改写后：I would like to request an interview. You can reach me by telephone at Beijing 123456 between the hours of 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-9:30p.m. any evening. 来源：考试大

C:

(1) 哀求式的句子，不够完整（漏掉面谈时间）：I would appreciate the opportunity for an interview. I can be reached by calling Beijing 12345678.

(2) 改写后： May I have the opportunity to discuss this matter further with you? My telephone number is Beijing 12345678. You can reach me between nine and five o'clock during the day.
