Triathlon is a race in which each person swims, rides a bicycle and runs over very long distances. It has been held ten times in Hope Town. Sam, aged 20, finished nine races with his younger brother Luke. Every race was a victory for them. Luke can’t walk, talk or feed himself because of a rare brain illness since birth. But Sam wants his brother to know what it feels like to be part of a sport instead of having to sit and watch. A local TV journalist interviewed Sam after he received the Town Hero Award.

【答案】例文：
Dear Mr. Zhang,
I am writing to you to apply for the teaching assistant for our instrumental music lesson. The reason why I am interested in this job is that I love music and I have got the level-10 certificates of both piano and guitar. Besides, music is a way to deepen our understanding of the world as well as a way to relax ourselves. I hope more students will find its beauty through this course, which is certainly my goal. Being the teaching assistant is exactly what I am good at and what I desire. I really hope you can give me this opportunity.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
