假如你是学生李华，想作为一名交换生去马恩岛参观学习，请你向国际交流部刘老师写一封申请函，信的内容应包括以下要点：

Dear Mr. Liu,

I want to apply for the chance to go to the Isle of Man for cultural exchange. The reason is that I want badly to get a thorough understanding of the British culture and this journey abroad will no doubt broaden my horizon as well as improve my oral English greatly. And below is my self-introduction.

I’m a girl of seventeen. Like many girls of this age, I enjoy making friends with whoever has common interests with me. Going shopping and surfing the Internet are what I often do at weekends. I also love music and I can play the piano fairly well. Of all the subjects I like English best because it is as beautiful a language as my mother tongue. Besides, I hold the belief that a good mastery of English will benefit my future.

I would appreciate it if you can give me such a chance. I am looking forward to your early reply!

Many thanks!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
