穷，缺钱，怎么办？强烈建议你先学会这招
你穷吗？缺钱吗？
如果你穷、缺钱，但又不知道该怎么赚钱，建议你考研，读研虽然没法使你暴富，但站在更高的平台上的你，至少有了重新选择的机会和自由。
问题来了：如果考研英语考到“求助信”，你会写吗？今天就一起来学习一下吧！
一、真题回顾
2006年，考研曾经考到过一篇书信（给希望工程捐款），详细内容如下：
Directions: You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out your plan.
You should write about 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write your address. (10 points)
课上讲到的范文如下：
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a senior from Peking University who pays great attention to Project Hope, I am writing for the purpose of finding a candidate, since I intend to offer financial help to him/her.
Project Hope is characterized by warmhearted people’s help, which enables a host of poor children to gain the opportunity for education. Accordingly, to my understanding, it is advisable for everyone to contribute to Project Hope and I want to help a child from a remote area, whose family is so impoverished that they cannot afford tuitions. Compared with others, I am not richer, but I am willing to do my utmost to help her/ him finish education from high school to college.
Finally, I want to say I am quite grateful for your hard work and I am looking forward to your favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

尊敬的先生/女士：
作为北京大学一名非常关注希望工程的大四学生，我写信想要找一个候选人，因为我想要给他/她提供经济上的帮助。
希望工程的突出特征就在于热心人士的帮助，这使得很多贫困的孩子得到了教育的机会。因此，在我看来，每个人都应该为希望工程做共贡献，我想帮助一个偏远地区、家庭极其贫穷无法支付得起学费的孩子。与他人相比，我不算更有钱，但我愿意尽我最大努力帮助他/她完成从中学到大学的学业。
最后，我想说，非常感谢你们的辛勤工作，我期待着能尽快收到回复。
您真诚的
李明
二、求助信范例
那么，考试有没有可能倒过来，考求助信：即，你是一名贫困学生，希望得到希望工程的资助？
请看例题：
Directions: Supppose you are a college student in a remote area, write a letter to Project Hope, stating your situattion and asking for financial aid.
You should write about 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write your address. (10 points)
范文：
Dear Sir or Madam,
As a college student in a remote area who desires to continue the college study, I am writing for the purpose of asking for financial aid from you.
Compared with others, I am not richer but I am willing to do my utmost to study harder because I deem that only education can bring me knowledge, arouse my passion for learning and help me have a promising future. However, my family is so impoverished that we cannot afford tuition and now, I am preparing for the upcoming national entrance examination for postgraduates and have no time to do part-time jobs to earn money. Thus, I need your help.
If you are so kind as to help me, I would be quite obliged and I am looking forward to your favorable reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

尊敬的先生或女士：
作为一名偏远地区的大学生，我想继续深造，我写这封信的目的是向您寻求经济资助。
与其他人相比，我并不富裕，但我愿意尽我最大的努力更刻苦地学习，因为我认为只有教育可以带给我知识，激发我的学习热情，帮助我创造一个美好的未来。然而，我的家庭非常贫困，我们负担不起学费，而且现在，我正在准备即将到来的全国研究生入学考试，没有时间做兼职赚钱。因此，我需要你的帮助。
如果您能帮助我，我将不胜感激，期待您的回复。
您诚挚的
李明
