2004年09月19日(日) 履歴書を書く(宿題)

ここんとこJapanese Cultureの課題にかかりっきりで、英語の宿題がたまってしまいました(Japanese Cultureも英語なんだけどね)。

唯一の休日である本日、やっつけてしまわねばならない宿題が山のようにあったのだけど、米びつも冷蔵庫もからっぽ。
昼から韓国系マーケットへ買い出しに行きました(片道1時間弱)。

夕方近くから「さあ、やるぞ!」と思ったら、友達から電話。
彼女は、今となっては数少ない、語学学校時代からの友達で、現在はLA近くのカレッジの学生。
お互いに忙しいので、最近は滅多に会えないんだけど。

用件は、Gパンのすそ上げをしたいから、ミシンを貸して欲しいとのこと。
私のミシンはガレージの作業台に出しっぱなしになっているので、いつでもすぐに使えるんだけど……なんせ機械だからね。
持ち主である私が手を出さなければならないのはわかりつつ、OKしました。

セメスターの始まりが私よりも早かった彼女は、もうすぐ中間テストだそうで、勉強道具も持参でやって来ました。

そんなこんな、あーだこーだで、今日も勉強に取りかかったのは夜10時過ぎ。
3時までかかって、なんとか終わらせたよー
ふー。

彼女の中間テストは大丈夫だったんだろうか……。

My Favorite Musician

 My favorite musician is a jazz tenor and soprano saxophone player named John Coltrane (1926-1967). Because his original performance style has changed the tide of jazz music, he is called "The Giant". The first time I listened to his performance was when I was sixteen years old. The sounds he played shocked me. It was powerful and mysterious, so I could not stop listening to his performance. I was drawn to his music more and more. Since then, I listened to a number of albums which Coltrane performed. Marvelously, even though those albums were recorded over forty years ago, they still present wonderful sounds. They represent an important monument in history of music. These albums performed by John Coltrane give me fresh impression whenever I listen to. Therefore he has been my favorite musician for many years.

Mr. Ray Johnson, General Manager
Paradise Hotel
226 West Jackson Boulevard
Chicago, Illinois 60606


Dear Mr. Johnson:

I would like to apply for the job of hotel press office publicist at the Paradise Hotel.

I came to the U.S. from Tokyo, Japan in 2001. When I was in Japan, I had worked for magazines and a newspaper as a free-lance journalist and graphic designer for over twenty years. During high school, I have worked in an editorial agency for part time job, that became a peg to work for media field ever since. After high school, I have gotten into a beauty college to inherit from my mother's job, but I quit the job after I got a license of hair stylist. Because I had always wanted to work for publisher, I didn't want to miss a opportunity that was offer for full time job from the preceding editorial agency. Although I have never studied about editing and design at any school, I have learned them in the field.

Since I came to the U.S., I haven't had any job. However I have always wanted to work putting my skills to good account because I like to work and have communication with people, and I love to work for service business. As you can see from my resume, I have had a lot of experience for appealing to people. I assure that I am capable of publicity.

If you have already filled the press office, I would like you to consider me for any other position at your hotel. I have always love to give people enjoyment and comfort, and I know I can be an asset to your hotel.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Sincerely,

Yun XXXX

Daniel Mendoza
