　　I will be able to work up to 25 hours a week this coming winter and appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the possibility of interning there.

　　Sincerely yours,

　　Self-reflection

　　 In this semester, I have learned how to make effective contributions to my team. In the midterm presentation, I did the beginning and the conclusion, and in the final presentation, I introduced the results and discussions of the interview.

　　 In the midterm, when I first decided to be responsible for the beginning and conclusion, I thought it was quite simple. In my origin opinion, the beginning and conclusion didn’t really convey any important messages, so these two parts were not so important. But after taking the class, I was surprised to know how important they were. The beginning is required to give the audience a clear brief introduction of the following contents, and to attract the audience’s attention for the next presenter. As for the conclusion, I need to have a complete list of what the partners have already said and be clear about the logic of the whole ideas. To give a good beginning and conclusion, not only the clear presentation with easy-understanding vocabulary is needed, but also the creative and efficient methods are required, to make the audience always willing to listen in the process.

　　 In the final, I did the work of results, discussions and the suggestions related to the interview. This asked me to analyze the questions and answers carefully, and went to deeper before expressing my ideas to the audience. In the group discussions before we started to do the final task, we firstly collected the ideas of each member and secondly distributed the tasks. Since we had already asked the thoughts of each person, we had a smooth process when doing the tasks, without any big conflicts. And the reasonable distributions also worked well. Each member of this team was responsible for only a part of the whole task, which brought us high efficiency. But the separate small task had finally to be connected as a whole. In this process, we recognized the importance of communication.

　　 This course not just focused on teaching us the knowledge of business English and other skills. More importantly, it taught us the spirits of teamwork, and helped us develop such good qualities like responsibility, diligence and so on.
