1.一個人在路上騎自行車，他把傘鉤在了他前面的卡車上，用卡車拉著他騎車。
2.這個人從醫院剛剛包扎好出來。
解析：
一、第一部分要求考生寫一份求職申請(Letter of Application for Employment)，當看到此題時：
1.考生要注意審題：
1)首先仔細閱讀該廣告;
2)弄清楚招聘單位對應聘者的要求;
3)假設自己就是應聘者，對照自身情況，看是否符合要求。尤其注意從技能(Skills)、專長(Speciality)、所受過的職業訓練(Training)、工作經驗(Experience)和教育背景(Educational Background)等幾方面作自我評估，尋找兩相吻合的地方。
2. 寫求職信時應注意的事項：
1)寫明你的詳細地址及電話號碼，以便對方與你聯系;
2)稱呼得當。
如果廣告上沒有寫聯系人是誰，則在求職信的開頭可用：Dear Sir或Dear sirs。保險一點，可寫 Dear sir/Dear madam。 如果廣告上已寫明聯系人，在寫求職信時，你就應寫其姓名：Dear Mr. Smith,或Dear Ms. Shirley Green等。
3)求職信應簡短，引人注意。
3. 求職申請信的格式：
1)開場白(Opener)
最好開門見山，直接寫明你寫此信的目的，避免不必要的客套。
⑴ I’m writing to apply for the position of ......advertised in today’s Shanghai Daily.
⑵ In replying to your advertisement in today’s Shanghai Daily, I am applying for the position of......
⑶ In /Through today’s newspaper I noticed your advertisement for ... /I have learned that you are hiring...
⑷ I would like to apply for /to be considered as a candidate for the job/ post/ position advertised in... / I saw advertised in / I have just seen in the ...
2) 正文(Body)
寫求職信就像推銷產品，言辭必須具有說服力，能打動對方。因此在正文中，你必須著重強調你的優點、長處，如學歷、工作經歷等，來證明你就是對方希望招聘的人員。但切忌過分夸張。
⑴ My working experience includes two months part-time receptionist with a CNR Co. and one year part-time assistant office manager for Haper’s Stationery.
⑵ I feel I am well qualified to ... for the following reasons...
⑶ I have experience of ..., therefore I may have the ability you are looking for.
3) 結尾(Close)
最后，你可寫一些希望參加面試并請求對方盡快給你答復等客套話。
⑴If my application is successful, I should /would like to...
⑵I am available for a personal interview if you are interested in my application.
⑶I would appreciate an interview at your convenience.
⑷If these meet your requirements, please grant me an interview. I look forward to your early reply.
⑸May I discuss my qualifications more fully with you at some time you find convenient? Please call (021)632-8976 at any time .
像這樣的功能性作文都比較格式化，所以考生在備考的時候一定要多積累一些功能句，頭腦中要對此類作文有大致的框架。
