解析：
第一处：looking后加for look for寻找。
第二处：interesting→interested 考查形容词。be interested in对……感兴趣。
第三处：apply to的to改为for 考查介词。apply for申请。
第四处：去掉out 考查介词。find找到;find out查明，弄清楚。
第五处：good前加a 考查冠词。a good knowledge of English一门好的英语知识。
第六处：especial→especially 考查形容词与副词。修饰介词短语用副词。
第七处：win→won 考查时态。由全文时态可知。
第八处：hold→held 考查非谓语动词。competition与hold构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词。
第九处：but→and 考查连词。前后句是顺承关系，所以用and而非表转折关系的but。
第十处：us→me 考查代词。我希望你能给我一个机会。
