参考答案

习作修改

本篇写的是李华写信向Ms Jenkins求助，希望她能指点一下自己如何写好申请书和个人简历。

1. written→writing 主语是I，主动发出动作，表明此时正在写信，用writing。

2. the→ a 因do sb. a favor 为固定搭配，意为“帮某人一个忙”，故the改为a。

3. experiences→experience 因这里指获得经验，experience意为“经验”时为不可数名词，故没有复数形式。

4. had→have 因本文为求助信，结合上下文此处时态应为一般现在时，故改成have。

5. are→is 因此处主语是this，且结合上下文时态应为一般现在时，故改成is。

6. or→and 因此处结合上下文应该是指作者既写了入职申请又写了个人简历，故改为and。

7. 在pay attention后加to 因pay attention to为固定搭配，且前有其宾语anything，故加to。

8. hope→hoping 因此处为伴随状语，且hope与其逻辑主语I 是主动关系，故用hoping。

9. much去掉因very副词修饰形容词grateful，无需再加much，故将其去掉。

10. real→really 应该用副词修饰形容词thankful。
