Dear Sir or Madam,

RE: Internship - Project Management & Business Development, Job Ref No. AL_MN_IN_081

I am enclosing my resume in response to your advertisement for the above post which was posted on the XX Website (http://XXXX.XXXX.com.sg/) on 18^th August 2011.

I study in Sun Yat-Sen University and will be graduating on July 2013 with Bachelor degree in Mathematical and Computational Science. I am now an exchange student of the National University of Singapore (NUS), School of Computing. I did short-term internships in the news department of the Shaoguan Local Television Centre and the lab of Shenzhen Institute of Telecommunications during the winter and summer vacations of my first year college. I feel that these demonstrate my verbal and written communication abilities. Also, my experience as the venue volunteer of the Opening and Closing Ceremony Operating Office of the 16th Asian Games shows that I am a motivated and organized person who is a self-starter and can multi-task. I think my two years first prize scholarship of school fund surly demonstrate my academic leadership. I believe I can manage the work with Sales Analyst and have a better understanding of IT area projects, as I am currently study mathematics and computational science.

I’m interested in IT area. The internship your company offered will give me a chance to apply what I’m learning during my college. I do hope that you will look favorably at my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Zhou Yi (Ms)

An Interpersonal Communication Conflict Between Close Friends

One night, A was chatting with her close friend B freely. B talked about a boring award ceremony she had to attend tomorrow.

“It’s a waste of time!” B complained,” Maybe I can ask someone to attend that ceremony instead of me.”

 “Cheer up! To accept the award on behalf of our department is wonderful!” A tried to cheer up her friend, but A felt lucky that she don’t have to attend that.

After a short pause, B asked A suddenly:” Are we good friend?”

“Indeed!” A answered without hesitation, and wondering why B asked such a silly question.

“What if I asked you to do something you don’t want to do?” B looked at A, and asked seriously.

A felt somehow surprise, she said:” Why asked me such a question?”

“Just answer me. Will you do that for me?” B seemed don’t want to explain.

Holding the opinion that not to promise anyone easily unless you can do that for sure, A asked:” What is the thing that ‘I don’t want to do’?”

“It doesn’t matter!” B said.

A paused for a while, and answered:” Well, no.”

B turned around to look at somewhere else. After a long pause, B looked a bit sad and said:” I think we are not close enough to be good friend. As for me, I will do anything if my friends want me to do even though it’s something I’m not willing to do.”

Actually, that’s something happened to me a few month ago. I felt she used the” good friend” to force me to promise her something (maybe attending the ceremony for her) that day, so I just refused her. But I didn’t expect she felt hurt. Should I change the way to answer that question, maybe give an obscure answer?
