I have always enjoyed working with computers, so it was an easy decision to major in computer science at California University with a plan to enter the IT field. In school, I excelled in my computer-related classes and during my college years, I became particularly interested in software development, especially software that would help consumers. Thats why I applied for and completed a one-year internship with Lotadoe Industries. At Lotadoe, I learned how to formulate new ideas for software and how to communicate those ideas effectively to the rest of the development team.
我一直很喜欢使用电脑工作，所以在美国加州大学主修计算机科学计划进军领域是一个容易的决定。在学校里，我擅长与电脑相关的课，在我的大学里，我对软件开发特别感兴趣，特别是有助于消费者的软件。这就是为什么我申请并完成了在产业为期一年的实习的理由。在，我学会了如何把新思路带入软件方面和如何将这些理念有效的传达给其他开发团队。
I am a very focused person and I tend to be product-oriented. At Lotadoe, I made sure that whatever projects I worked on, I saw to completion. For instance, I worked with a team that was developing a new version of a piece of popular software called Rototype. I asked to be part of every step of software development and at the end of the project, I was given the responsibility of getting final technical approval. I made sure that I followed through with the right departments, keeping my team informed of the progress. This is the type of work I enjoy and thats why I applied for a position with your company.
我是一个非常专注的人，也是产品导向型的人。在，我确信，不管我做任何项目，我都能亲自参加完成。举例来说，我与一个团队一起工作，开发的一种流行的软件的新版本。我请求参加部分软件开发的每一个步骤，并在项目结束时，在最后技术审核中我得到越来越多权利。我确信，我以后会与部门一起更好地完成任务，让我的团队了解进展情况。这是我喜欢的工作类型，这就是为什么我申请了贵公司的职位。
Your company is a leader in software development and is in the forefront of new ideas in the field. I think that the products your company has developed in the past several years have been outstanding and are the best on the market. I want to work in a company where I can be challenged and where I can make a contribution. I would very much enjoy working in your company to develop new software and to improve existing ones.
贵公司在软件开发领域是领导者，在该领域的新思路前列。我认为贵公司在过去几年开发的产品一直很出色，是市场上最好的。我想在一个可以得到挑战，并可以做出贡献的公司里工作。在贵公司工作我会非常享受，并为贵公司开发新的和改进现有的软件。
