　　解析：

　　第一處：looking后加for　look for尋找。

　　第二處：interesting→interested　考查形容詞。be interested in對……感興趣。

　　第三處：apply to的to改為for　考查介詞。apply for申請。

　　第四處：去掉out　考查介詞。find找到;find out查明，弄清楚。

　　第五處：good前加a　考查冠詞。a good knowledge of English一門好的英語知識。

　　第六處：especial→especially　考查形容詞與副詞。修飾介詞短語用副詞。

　　第七處：win→won　考查時態(tài)。由全文時態(tài)可知。

　　第八處：hold→held　考查非謂語動詞。competition與hold構成邏輯上的動賓關系，所以用過去分詞。

　　第九處：but→and　考查連詞。前后句是順承關系，所以用and而非表轉折關系的but。

　　第十處：us→me 考查代詞。我希望你能給我一個機會。
