尊敬的领导：

您好!

从高一到高三毕业学习成绩有了明显的提高，在这三年中多次获得学校颁发的三好生奖状，进步之星奖，优秀学员奖和多项运动会奖状等。

在高中毕业以后，我想去日本留学深造。

自小就在城市中生活的我十分向往去经济发达的大城市去学习。同时对于自己家乡落后有着深刻的责任感。日本是当今世界上世界上经济最发达的国家之一，电子产品在世界市场的占有率居于榜首。具有强大的海洋捕捞船队和水产品养殖业，渔业发达。留学条件良好，气候四季分明。环境优美，有美丽的樱花，北海道的樱花。

去这些美丽的地方是我小时侯梦想。有优秀的教师和先进的教学设备以及先进的教育理念。于是从上高中开始我就定下了将来去日本留学的想法。

20x年2月底我向家里说明了我想去日本留学的意愿。在当时就得到了家人的许可。于是从20x年的3月份开始我到x日语培训学校学习日语，平常的上课时间我正常到学校学习高中的课程到了，周末就上x日语培训班去学习日语，到现在为止我的日语水平已达到使用最基本的日常用语和进行简单的阅读的程度。日本以后，打算先到语言学校学习。为自己将来进一步的深造做好语言上的准备。

在此基础上，根据本人的个人喜好和特长，想在日本的大学学习物流管理。日本是个经济文化繁荣发达的国家，尤其改革开放以来，中日两国经济文化艺术的交流更加深入。当我学有所成回国后，将致力于家乡的经济发展，用在日本所学的先进的管理方去经营自己家乡的企业。也愿意在日友好中日文化经济交流方面贡献自己的聪明才智。

父母支持我的留学请求，能够支付我在日本的一切费用。我到日本以后，保证遵守日本的法律遵守学校的规章制度。好好学习，增长本领，成为一个有用的人才

真诚地希望我的留学申请会被批准。

此致

敬礼!

尊敬的X大学老师：

您好!我是X，现就读于X。感谢您在百忙之中审阅我的留学申请书。

X大学，以怒蹄奔腾的骏马为标志物，希望学子们能“腾天潜渊，吐纳川海;辽阔原野，一任奔驰”，博大高远的追求使我渴慕不已，心神往之。我渴望成为X大学的一名学生。

由于在数学上表现出了优秀的能力，我5岁时上了小学。20X年时，我们全家来到北京，并开始了我在X学校长达8年的学习。这8年来，X见证着我点点滴滴的进步。来到北京前我对英语一无所知，可我的母校是一个国际化的学校，于是我的英语让老师和父母十分着急。后来在父母老师的帮助之下，我一直努力提高自己的英语水平，现在英语已经成为我的优势之一。小升初的时候，我的成绩还不是很好，在我初中三年的不懈努力之下，最终以中考523分(当时的市重点线)的成绩进入了我校高中部实验班。在高一时我的成绩在班里、年级的前列，参加了海淀区数学、物理、化学竞赛，并在第X届全国数学“希望杯”比赛中获得全国三等奖。进入高二之后，我在所有考试(包括月考、期中期末考、高三的周考、区统考)中都保持着班级第一、年级第一的成绩，而且整个高中年级的各科会考成绩都是A。我认为只要对学习有着严肃认真的态度，始终都在努力超越自我，就一定可以取得成功。而且我可以理性对待考试、不断提高自己的学习能力，从而保持了一个稳定的、向上的状态，我会将这种状态在我以后的学习、生活中继续保持下去。

我出生在一个民主开放的家庭。父母都是老师，给我一定的自由发展空间，并着重培养我的领悟能力、学习能力和动手能力，让我学会自立。于是我在遇到生活、学习、与人沟通相处等方面的困难时，都自己想办法独立解决，从而在各方面成为班级、年级的佼佼者。由于父母对我潜移默化的影响，我做事十分认真，习惯追求完美，虽然十分完美是不可能的，但是追求完美的态度和意志让我在学习、工作中有着出色的表现。

正如校训“X”所展示的，我的母校X学校，既秉承了传统教育的严谨、求实，也发扬了寄宿学校的军事化管理，更融入了外国教育的开放和高效。正是在这样的环境中，我拥有了丰富的知识、多样的能力、坚强的毅力和开朗的性格。在X年的学习生涯中，我更加成熟稳重，做事心思缜密、谋划周到，成为一个学习优秀、善于处理各方面事务、全面发展的人。

A wise man once said “how dreadful knowledge of the truth can be, when there’s no help in truth.” I think, out of all thoughtful things one can think about, this quotes is unique description of what the depth of Drama and the Performing Arts can do for people. By studying Drama, we can become a variety of people, trapped within one single mind, all trying to be freed and each with their own personality and poison. Humanity has helped Drama so much to produce narrative of such calibre, and characters of such depth and poise – characters, which can be as sweet and innocent, or can take the more disgusting side of what being a human is, being as evil as what thought possible

Performance Art explores the whole range of human emotion and can produce tremendous performances and visual experiences and with Drama, in particular, we can go further than flesh and blood and express ourselves as somebody else and take on this ‘mask’. The most profound thing I have found when studying Drama is that we can become any person in the entire world, and still be us

I have always had a love for the performing arts since I can remember; for there has never really been anything else I have ever wanted to do apart from act. But acting is not just a subject to study people, narratives or social issues – we can discover so many things about ourselves, why we perform a character this way: is it because this person is so much like us? There have been numerous qualities I have discovered about myself while participating in drama. In teaching, I have learn how to really connect with people and help them to explorer what their feelings produce and more notably, how we learn about others, about a single person just by the way they say a monologue

Teaching has been a great experience for me because it has given me the time to evaluate my own performance and teaching skill, learning to become that character just a little but more. This has also been enhanced by the performances I have taken part in, learning to work together in teams to realise the dream of the narration and the vision of the director (for nothing really exists without the vision or image)

While experiencing other aspects of the Performing Arts, I have found that is has increased my performance skill on whole and expended my knowledge on the performance world greatly, Dance, Art and English all focusing on similar issues such as the Commedia dell’arte, Henrik Ibsen, Physical Theatre and Movements and philosophies. These subjects have greatly complemented my time in Drama, and increased my confidence and ability in being a performer. Being involved in 5 consecutive school productions, 2 amateur productions, teaching experience and a student has really influence me concerning the determination I will put into a career in Drama and Acting, and just working with these people and directors have really bettered me in the way I act, see myself and carry on with my life. The Performing Arts is such a brilliant profession to work in, because there is so much opportunity to explore the world

I know that I can offer the performing arts the time, the expense and the spark that it deserves. There is nothing else in world that I would devote more time to than being on the stage or acting in the street, and with the passion and determination to succeed behind me, I will give that spark and flavour that acting and the performing arts is all about. I know I can offer so much, because it is the only profession where, maybe just for one night, I can become someone else and do a damn good job of being that person – and I can easily say that I can offer the world, because performance and acting is my whole world. As well as enjoying Drama, I have also taken a shine to Philosophy and finding the reason for irrationality, and I feel particularly moved in amazement by the work of Bob Fosse and George Orwell for their use of horror, sorrow and murder. And a great interest to the History of Art, because so much of the story of us is portrayed in Art and more so these days it is so unique how Art and Drama work together to produce movement, beauty and conception.##

尊敬的老师：

您好，非常感谢您百忙之中能抽出时间读这份留学申请书。

我叫黄鹏，来自莱阳市第九中学，是地地道道的九中人，只不过现在又要在前面加上复习生的名号了。虽然高考不尽如人意，但此时说起自己的身份，我还是愿意称自己为“九中人”，这三个字几乎涵盖了我的整个青春，以后也将伴我继续走下去。这次以复习生的身份回到母校，千万思绪涌上心头，高中三年的点点滴滴似电影片段般一幕幕在我脑海中回放，当初的豪言壮志似乎还在母校的上空回荡，经久不息;恩师的教诲，朋友的勉励在时光的打磨下历久弥新，句句澎湃着我的内心。

虽然初入母校时的青涩已蜕变成了成熟，但想起那段懵懂的时光，内心依然久久不能平静。稚嫩的外表下装载着蓬勃的心，我开始了自己的高中生活。或许是初中两年的班长生涯使我看起来较为沉稳，也可能是中考成绩入了班主任的“法眼”，总之，我很荣幸地被授予了班长的重任，也从此开启了我至今三年的又一段班长生涯。

高一高二时的班级就是一群热血少年俱乐部，我们长论古今中外，激扬文字，点评江山，轻狂却不知疲倦。在这样一群心怀报复的知己的熏染中，在知识渊博的教师的教诲下，我的成绩也开始了稳步提升，更重要的是我的思想也从此有了雏形——我想成为强者!在与老师和同学们的朝夕相处中，我从他们每个人身上都学到了一点东西，我学会了沉着，我懂得了宽容，我明白了感恩……他们每一个人都是一本活教科书，我一页页读，一本本读，纵使现在不再生活在同一个屋檐下，但我依然可以很迅速的找出对他们的“读书笔记”。与大家的一起成长的过程中，我也在慢慢变强——成绩已经稳坐前几把“交椅”，心智也越来越成熟。

最终凭借较为优异的成绩升入了高三，进入了一个全新的班级。虽然许多东西都要重新来过，但从高一高二走过来的我已经可以很容易地融入新班级了。我一直相信，只要自己付出真心就一定可以捕获真心，所以虽然只有不到一年的相处，但是我与高三的同学却宛如相识多年的朋友一般，亲密无间。我们一起挑灯夜战，一起埋头苦读，一起奋笔疾书，直到最后一起奔赴高考的战场，很遗憾我折戟沉沙，没能跟上他们的步伐。不过，“短暂的停留是为了更高的飞翔”，终有一天，我会赶上去的，跟他们并肩奋斗，书写我们九中人的辉煌!

高中三年，我成长了，成熟了。我时常愿意把自己比作一个行者，一步一个脚印地奔赴远方，在人生的这条道路上，我不愿意落后于任何人，也不愿意亦步亦趋地跟随他人，我想走出一条属于自己的道路，留下自己独有的身影。虽然我是个理科生，但我却非常喜欢一个人静静地思考人生，我不害怕孤独，有人说，孤独就是你所面对的那个人，他的情绪跟你的情绪不在同一个频率。我非常赞同，但是我不认为我孤独，不论是我那些展翅高飞的朋友，还是跟我一样“留守”下来的伙伴，都是我吐露心声的知己，有他们在，我不寂寞。

现在的我虽然还拼搏在高考的道路上，但是单纯的考出高分已经不是我的目的了。不过，上一所如同贵校一般的名牌大学的确是我心所往。人都是为了未来而活的，我这次就是为未来而战!

As a child I often accompanied my father to his small coin shop and spenthours watching him work. When I was older, I sometimes set up displays, waitedon customers, and even balanced the books. This experience instilled in me thedesire to own and manage my own business someday, yet I understand that thebusiness world today is more complex. This complexity requires more education,and with that in mind, I am applying to the Master’s of Business Administrationprogram at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).

In addition to my helping out in my father’s business, I have had numerousother work experiences that further enhance my qualifications for this program.My resume enumerates the various positions I have held at Kerasotes Theaters,Chili’s restaurants, and Indiana University’s new Student Recreational SportsCenter (SRSC), and what all of these positions have in common is an emphasis onserving the public effectively. Further, as an assistant manager at theShowplace 11 and a staff coordinator at the SRSC, I have gained valuableexpertise in managing employees and creating work schedules. Both of thesepositions have allowed me to develop my sales and people skills, which areextremely important in an increasingly service-driven marketplace.

Not all of my work experience has been as a paid employee. Part of myvolunteering experience at Middleway House, the local battered women’s shelter,involved extensive work on computers, including word processing, organizingdatabases and creating spreadsheets. Also, I recently participated in aninternship program for academic credit with the Eli Lilly corporation in thepersonnel division. As a management intern, I was able to watch the workings ofa major corporation up close and would like the opportunity to combine myexperiences with the theoretical background available in the MBA program at IUB,with its emphasis on computers, marketing and human resources.

My successful internship is one element of my overall academic success asan undergraduate here at IUB, yet I have also made time for a variety ofextracurricular activities, including working for my sorority and competing inintramural basketball. My positive experiences here have resulted in my desireto stay in Bloomington to continue my academic endeavors; furthermore,continuing my education here would allow me to make important business contacts,with the career goal of opening my own computer consulting firm in theMidwest.

尊敬的x大学领导：

白雪皑皑的季节，莘莘学子又迎来了一年一度的留学热潮，这也将是我人生旅程的第一个重大转折。我来自x高级中学，我的名字叫x，男，x岁。今日我郑重向贵校推荐自我，因为考入x是我梦想，我渴望成为x的一名学子，成为一名真正的x人。

对x的向往由来已久，从上高中那天起，就开始对x有了逐步的认识，x大学以往不止一次被同学和教师提起，同学们也一向视考入x为一种荣耀和自豪，我开始关注x，了解x的一点一滴。

x大学是x第一所大学，其前身为x大学，始建于x年x月x日，至今已走过了x年的光辉历程，x始终依循“实事求是”的校训，构成了“严谨治学，严格教学要求”的优良校风，正是百年积淀的深厚底蕴，给x带来了生生不息的原动力，激励每一位x学子励精图治、创业为国。

随着对x了解的加深，自我对x的感情也在与日俱增，每每提起x，都感觉那样的亲切，对x，我似乎有一份难解的情缘，我默默地将考上x定为自我的奋斗目标。虽然x是那么遥远，是那么高不可攀，可是我要拼搏，我要追梦，我必须要去实现我美丽的梦想。随着自身的不断提高，学习成绩的稳步提升，我开始一步步向x靠近，我明白，正是我的梦想，支撑着我更加努力学习，支撑着我去争取走入x。

我出生在一个普通的工人家庭，父母都是从农村考上中专后进入城市，他们也一向对我有一个完美的期待，那就是上一所名校，完成他们没有完成的愿望。从小学到高中，父母从来没有对我的学习有太严厉的要求，他们更加注重我个性的培养，更加注重我健康欢乐地学习生活，他们不期望我成为一个读死书和死读书的书呆子，他们要我成长为一个阳光欢乐的人，成为一个善良正直懂得感恩的人。正是这样的家庭环境，让我有了充分的空间张扬个性，我欢乐，我阳光，我强健，虽然才十七岁，我已经长到了1.82米，我成了父母眼中的骄傲。

十余年的学习生涯，我一点点长大，一步步成熟，我不会错过任何一次表现自我的机会，学校组织的各种活动，我都进取参加，演讲比赛、体育比赛等，我都会冲在前面。我关心班级，爱护团体，从小学到初中一向担任班干部，上高中之后，我们开始竞选学生会，我又第一个报名，参加体育部长的竞选，经过努力，我最终如愿当上了学生会的体育部长，每周我还会参加学校的值周，帮忙教师管理学生，三年来的学生会和值周体验，锻炼了我的组织本事和语言表达本事，也磨练了我的意志。

都说当学生会干部会影响学习，我并没有这种感觉，倒是学生会的工作，促进了我的学习，学生会干部，学习更不能落后于别人。从进入高中的全校五十名，我逐年提高名次，最让我引以为傲的，是刷新自我最高名次和分数的证书最多，此刻我已经迈进了第一梯队，各学科也没有偏科落后现象，各科成绩均衡发展，但我最喜欢的还是物理和化学，多次取得近满分的成绩，这更增加了我学习的信心和动力。

我明白，我此刻离x还有必须的距离，可是我会利用这余下的将近180天时间，努力去完成学业，努力去提升自我，为自我走入x积蓄力量。我喜欢工科，喜欢动手，也有很强的动手本事，我觉得x的专业也异常适合我，如果我能走入x，我必须努力学习专业技能，不断增长才干，我也要象x的那些前辈们一样，设计更多的“鸟巢”及“水立方”，研究出继第一台飞机发动机之后众多的第一，为x人增光。

敬礼!

Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies,economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its globalposition. Though more and more companies built, management of companies cannotcatch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning fieldin China, so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management inEngland.

The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to mychildhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modernentrepreneurs. As a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his businessventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. Mymother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simplecalculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I, also, would somedaybe able to enter the realm of business.

With the time of growing up, I preferred reading books to satisfy mycuriosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered.Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and myknowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasingrapidly.

As a high school student in China, I had to concentrate on the CollegeEntrance Examination (CEE), even so, books not related to the exams were neverexcluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June, 20__, Iwas so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in thedepartment of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional ChineseMedicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be afailure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms, I realizedthat I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At thatmoment, I lost my direction and objectives.

My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter offact, I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American, and some booksabout management by Peter F.Drucker. I began to notice something interesting:Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell morethan others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing thesame difficulties?

With the questions in my mind, I started to read many relevant books. I waslucky to read the book “Jack: Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch, in Which JohnA. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for acompany. When I was a junior, I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. Ishould manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shopeven made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the runthe shop. From this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business hasbeen greatly developed, definitely I was increasingly interested in what I wasdoing. By December, 20__, I had finally determined to take business managementas my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge, I strived togain more practical work experience in some big companies.

Fortunately, as a senior, I began by conducting an internship in theArchitecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months, I worked as anassistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the differentdepartments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadenedmy perspective of management conditions and business performance in differentindustries. The experience showed me that management is much more important thanthat of I thought in big companies. After graduation, I continued my work inthis company. In May, 20__, the company offered me an opportunity to participatein an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depthdiscussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me topursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual abilityand the brand new ideas I mentioned.

During the short period of training, I realized that pursuing a higherdegree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster, with its excellencein management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challengingenvironment, I can build the required foundation of knowledge related tomanagement to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission willbe my first step of success. With this in mind, I hereby submit my application,and await your favorable reply.

Letters of recommendation are a very important part of the applicationprocess. As colleges become more and more sought out from the increasing numberof applicants each year, the need to stand out from the competition is alsoincreasing. Below we will provide helpful information on how to write a collegerecommendation as well as advice for tailoring each letter.

A high school transcript can help tell an admissions office a lot about acandidate, but a college recommendation letter provides an opportunity for themto see the whole person. While recommendation letters are never a bad idea toinclude in the application, even if the college does not require one, manycolleges do necessitate the inclusion of one. Here is some advice to keep inmind when writing a college recommendation letter:

Know the candidate - it may sound obvious, but it is important that youknow the candidate well. After all, how can you write a college recommendationletter for a someone you know little about? Recommendations written forcandidates with a vague familiarity are often identifiable and can do more harmthan good.

How you know the candidate - when you write a college recommendationletter, make sure to include how you know the candidate as well as the length oftime you have known that person.

Provide relevant information - be sure to find out the purpose of therecommendation so as to provide relevant information about the candidate and hisor her specific qualifications. If the recommendation is to supplement anapplication, discuss how that person is an appropriate candidate for the collegehe or she is applying to. Despite its purpose, however, the overall goal of acollege recommendation letter is to attest to the capabilities and character ofthe candidate.

Obtain a rsum - another tip on how to write a collage recommendation letteris to first obtain the students rsum with a listing of his or her GPA,activities, awards, leadership roles, community service, employment experienceand special skills. The more information you have about a particular candidate,the more constructive your recommendation can be.

Personalize the letter - to help make the letter more personal, beforewriting a college recommendation letter, it is important to determine the personto whom the letter should be addressed. If the student is unaware of the name,the letter may begin "Dear Selection Committee."

Proofread the letter - one of the most important tips on how to write acollege recommendation letter is making sure to proofread it when finished. Aletter containing grammatical errors will appear unprofessional and may leave anegative impression.

Mailing the letter - establish with the student whether the recommendationletter must be mailed in an official envelope from your institution, or if itcan be included with the application. If it is to accompany the application,return the letter to the candidate in a sealed envelope.

Determine the deadline - double-check with the student as to the deadlineof the college recommendation letter. Ideally, you will be given an adequateamount of time to complete a positive, detailed letter, however, the mostimportant detail is that it is received before the application deadline.

Save the letter - when you have finished writing a recommendation, be sureto save it in order to help make writing the next college recommendation lettereasier. The student will likely be applying to more than one school and may askthat you write a separate recommendation for each one. Although it is importantthat each letter is tailored to the application at hand, select information canbe recycled for multiple letters. It is more convenient to tailor the originalpassage than to repetitively recollect the advice on how to write a collegerecommendation.

What Colleges Really Want

Colleges place a large emphasis on a students academic ability becausewhat is accomplished in high school is the strongest predictor of their academicsuccess in college. What colleges really want, however, is a win-win situation.They want to admit students who will thrive at their institution, not only forthe students benefit, but for their own as well. As more and more studentsbecome college-bound, colleges and universities will become increasinglyselective, placing more emphasis on the ability to know how to write a collegerecommendation letter.

As a teacher, counselor, employer or personal acquaintance of acollege-bound teen, you may at some point receive a request for help in writinga college recommendation letter. These students are not only placing their trustin you, they are putting you in the unique position to make an impact on whetheror not they are admitted to their college of choice. Following this advice onhow to write a college recommendation will help to ensure a professional letterand give your candidate a greater likelihood of being accepted into his or hercollege of choice.

尊敬的_领导：

您好!我叫__，是一名来自山西的高三学生。很感激您能在百忙之中来阅读我的自荐信。

小的时候就听大人们谈起过“_”这个被当时的我赋予了很丰富的联想的名字。年龄还小的我只是觉得这个名字给人一种很威风、大气的感觉，渴望着有朝一日也能成为它的一分子。随着年龄的增长，我对_有了更多的认识：不同于其他的学校，_始终保持一种严谨治学的态度;无论何时，_都能为学子提供最清静、最不受丝毫干扰的学习环境。_坐落于素有“人间天堂”美誉的杭州，与北京上海等地的高校相比，有着不相伯仲乃至更高一筹的教学水平，却比他们少一份喧嚣，多一份宁静。

看到“_”的_校训时，心底的触动让我更加坚定了“我要成为_人”的决心。_坚持着思想教育和专业知识培养兼顾、理论与实践相结合的理念，注重培养学生的求知创新精神。所以，成为一个_人，这将会成为我永远无悔并且引以自豪的决定。

当然，选择_并不仅仅是由于_无可比拟的优越性，还有一个原因便是自身的性格因素。我是一个活泼开朗、阳光率直的女孩，对于新鲜的事物总是充满了好奇，喜欢在各种各样的挑战中不断超越自己。我爱音乐从黑白琴键下淙淙流出的写意，也爱篮球场上行云流水的酣畅淋漓。所以在高中时，我担任班中的文艺委员、学校的音乐社社长以及女子篮球队队长。虽然我是女生，但我对电脑也有着非同寻常的喜爱，在初中毕业后的暑假，我特意去了电脑学校学习了VisualBasic编程语言。在很小的时候，我就能掌握比同龄人多很多的字词。凭借着语言天赋，我又在假期中学习了大学韩语教材的第一册。对我来说学习永远是件快乐的事，因为我总能在其中体味到那种不断充实自己、超越自己的满足感。

我是一个很爱玩也很会玩的女孩。但无论在玩的时候多么无拘无束，一到了学习时，会马上静下心来，心无旁骛地投入到学习中，从小学到高中，一直成绩优异，从不偏科。而在所有的学科中，我最倾心的是数学。我喜欢在数字、符号、字幕之间寻找那些微小的规律;喜欢在各种各样的图形中搜寻出各个部分的关系;我喜欢遇到难题时的棋逢对手之感;喜欢攻克难题后“百万军中取上将首级”的豪迈之感。虽然从未学习过奥数，但我仍在初中时获得了“希望杯”数学邀请赛的三等奖，以及高中时全国数学联赛的二等奖。

我喜欢钻研问题时那种专注、纯净的感觉。我相信，只有_才是能让求知之鹰自由翱翔的朗朗晴空。

同时，我也对自己的能力充满信心。我曾多次在班级、学校的活动中担任主持人;还曾在假期中做过家教，定期地组织社团活动等。踏踏实实地在一次又一次的实践活动中不断提升自己的能力。

当然，想要成为一名_人，思想品德是更重要的一方面。妈妈从小就教导我：无论怎样，首先要学会做一个纯粹的人。学习生活中，我会尽自己的力量热情地帮助周围的同学，认真负责地为集体做好本职工作，积极地在歌咏比赛、运动会上为班争光;在家时，我会在学习之余帮助妈妈洗衣做饭，做各种各样的家务;假期里，我还会组织同学一起去福利院开展志愿活动……“求实创新”是我的座右铭。并将伴随我一生。

所以我热切地盼望这有朝一日胸前能佩戴起那枚意蕴深厚的_校徽，抱着书本漫步在_优美的校园内，庄严地对自己说“我是_人”!

希望您能通过我的申请。如果我的申请未被通过，我会认真地找出自己的不足并虚心改正，努力在明年的高考中考出理想的成绩，步入_的校园。

尊敬的老师：

您好!

又到了一年的毕业之际，我也即将结束自己为期三年的中学生涯。心中有许多不舍和留恋，但更多的，是对未来高中生活的憧憬，对前面未知人生路的期待。在这里，请允许我简单的向您分享一下自己至今为止的学习和生活体验。

一、自身成长经历及体会

我是一名有目标、重行动、心态平的学生。在学习中，能坚持为自己制定阶段学习计划，在一阶段的认真、刻苦学习之后，适时回头总结这一时期学习上取得的成绩和存在的不足，并向老师和班主任寻求一些建议和意见。努力做到不被单次的成绩影响学习步调，始终相信，稳定的心态是学习效率的内在保证。在与同学的相处中，我能做到不为人先，妥善处理各种情况，先理清思路找到解决问题的方法再提出自己的个人意见，在同学间有着很高的威望。在家庭生活中，我是妈妈的贴心小棉袄，妥善处理好自己的生活和情绪，不让父母为我担心。

二、个性特长及取得的成果

一方面由于我对各类挑战都有浓厚的兴趣，另一方面，我又擅长组织及协调工作，在校期间，代表学校参加县里组织的各类比赛。获得过市级三好学生与县级优秀团员等称号。除此之外，我还积极参与各类社会实践活动。社会实践活动不但激发了我的学习乐趣，也增进了我的服务意识。

三、进入高校的努力方向及设想

我是一个乐观自信、喜欢挑战的女孩。仰慕贵校的教学风格很久，所以我十分向往到贵校继续完成我的高中学习任务。在高中阶段受到更好的教育和指导，感受良好的学习、生活氛围。而且我自己也有信心在能力、体力上适应新的氛围和环境。请老师考虑我的条件，让我在贵校绚丽的舞台上展现新的精彩与辉煌，给我一次实现梦想的.机会。

此致

敬礼!

wang is an impressive student because he has been forced to overcome thesignificant challenge of a serious illness during his freshman year. when ifirst met wang in my discrete math class, he did not appear to be anythingspecial to me. while his exam scores were good, they were not as high as i wouldnow expect of him. what i didnt know then was that due to his illness. wang wasattempting to take all of the difficult early mathematics courses at one time,including discrete mathematics, advanced mathematics, linear algebra, andpossibilities. while most

students found preparing for just one set of these exams difficult, wangwas overwhelmed by four of them. but in the end, he achieved an impressive scoreon the final exam, which made me conscious of his unusual determination hedemonstrates when confronting difficult challenges.

mr. wangi have often talked about a variety of mathematicscomputer scienceconceptsproblems. during these discussions, i always found him to bedelightfully intelligent. not only does he quickly understand the

conceptsproblems presented to him, he is able to analyze theseproblemspresent solutions. but perhaps most important is that wangs thinking isintensely rigorous. when looking at any question, he carefully scrutinizes itifhe finds any uncertain issues, he clears them up immediately. i believe thiskind of thought is essential to become an excellent computer programmer.

尊敬的_大学的老师们：

您们好!

我叫__，女，17岁，是西北大学附属中学理科一班的学生。

我是一个喜欢热闹的人，我总喜欢和同学们聚在一起谈论身边的大事小事，也会一起讨论一些很复杂的问题，但更多的是一起畅想未来，每当这时我们都会笑得很开心。其实我是一个特别喜欢笑的女孩，因为我坚信笑容可以给我的朋友们带来快乐，而我自己也在同时收获到快乐。所以我爱笑，就算遇到挫折也选择用这样的态度来迎接，以给自己更多的信心。也就是因为爱笑，同学们有时会说我像个傻瓜，不过我从未介意过，因为我希望我的朋友都快乐。

在学习上，我态度端正，曾担任学习委员和语文课代表，并且获得了许多荣誉。在生活中，因为我的笑让我与同学更团结了，也因此在小学一直担任班长，升入高年级后开始担任大队委、大队长，多年获得“三好学生”、“优秀班干部”，这些荣誉是我今生难忘的

它们是老师、学校对我的学习、工作的一种肯定，也一直激励着我向前。但我从未因此骄傲，而是怀着一颗感恩的心，感谢我的老师始终关心我、爱护我;感谢老师给我的荣誉，让我看到自己努力的价值;感谢老师教会我如何做一个正直的人。

我最喜欢的运动是游泳，我觉得在水里可以让我的头脑更清醒，所以无论是酷夏还是寒冬，只要有机会我就泡在水里。我也喜欢听音乐并且涉猎的范围很广，从通俗音乐到交响乐都有我喜欢的，之所以喜欢听音乐大概是因为我觉得这样可以让我的心静下来吧。

考试失利或遇到烦心事时我都会借此来舒缓压力。我还喜欢写随笔和涂鸦，把自己的开心或不快写出来、画出来，有时也会义愤填膺地写上一篇文章评论当下的新闻和一些社会现象。

我自认是一个爱玩的人，但对学习还是很认真的。我感觉自己是一个比较有自制力的人，知道什么时候该学习，也知道学习时不能分心，并且能遵守它。可我不觉得自己是人们通常所说的“书呆子”--只是一心扑在学习上，而不注重与别人交往。

所以我有很多朋友，我们一起学习，也约定一起向目标努力。同时我的外向性格也理所当然使我拥有了对外界强烈的好奇心和探索欲望，这也让我的眼界更加开阔。长得越大，懂得越多，我的探索欲望也越强烈，它驱使着我不停地向未知世界“进攻”，同时我也收获到学习的快乐。

我每天上学都要经过西电，校园里树木很多，我经常能闻到绿树青草的香味，而一旁古朴的教学楼更让这个校园显得优雅，久而久之我也就对这所伫立在闹事之中却能保持它原有气息的高校产生了浓厚的兴趣。后来，我开始查看有关电子科技大学的资料。

我渐渐了解了关于这所高校的历史沿革、办学理念和学科设置等一系列情况。我知道了电子科技大学是以信息与电子学科为主，工、理、管、文多学科协调发展的全国重点大学，是国家“211工程”立项建设的重点高校之一。而且学校汇聚了一支政治素质优良、学术水平高、结构合理的教师队伍。最让我感到兴奋的是“神五”、“神六”飞船副总设计师杨宏等一大批IT行业领军人物和技术骨干原来都是电子科技大学培养出来的。

看到这些，我情不自禁地笑了起来，与其说是为陕西有如此好的高校而高兴，还不如说是为自己找到了目标而高兴。特别是西电的通信工程专业吸引了我，对宇宙飞船和神秘的外太空充满好奇的我，希望自己也能像杨宏老师那样为航天事业做出贡献。

的确，从那时起我就决定不管结果怎样，都要以电子科技大学为目标奋斗。

我深知确定了目标就要为之而努力，否则一切都是徒劳的，但我有时也会对大学的生活充满想象：我想象着与大学里的同学一起生活的那种快乐;想象着与教授们一起探讨问题时的那种学习氛围;想象着丰富多彩的社会实践活动……而现在，为了我的目标和我所幻想的一切美好我必须更加刻苦地学习。

但在众多的优秀学生之间，我常常会感到力不从心，甚至是自卑，这是我的一大缺点。但在成长的过程中我一直在努力克服它，并且我也认识到唯有踏踏实实、勤奋拼搏才是通向成功的路。

我现在就在这条路上走着，虽然辛苦但我甘之若饴。我相信既然我有缘每天与_擦肩而过，我就会在不远的一天怀抱感恩的心骄傲地踏进那扇我向往已久的大门。

i am a student, graduated from baoyang middle school, nanning, guangxi autonomous region, in 20__. i am still studying in high school now, because i was not enrolled by the ideal university last year. recently, i have a dream to study abroad. then i search online and find that it is more convenient and suitable for me to go to new zealand for study.

first, new zealand is a multicultural country, which has the most advanced education in the world. second, the tuition is lower than other countries’, which i think is mo

re reasonable for me. finally, the climate of new zealand is similar with the climate of the south of china. considering above reasons, i told my parents my plan on going to new zealand for study, and my parent agreed with me.

as a girl, i like preschool education since i was young. nowadays, chinese parents, who want their children to get better education, pay more attention to preschool education. if i study specialized curriculums on preschool education, i will go back china and work hard on preschool education after leaving college.

my plan is as follows: first, i plan to study english in language institute for about a half year in new zealand. then, i will study specialized curriculums on preschool education.

i believe i have the ability of study abroad, because i have finished all high school curriculums. besides, my parents both have job and have rich income, so they will support me to finish my study. after finishing my study, i will return to my homeland and work on preschool education, so as to realize my life value.

尊敬的_大学老师：

您好!首先感谢您在百忙之中耐心阅读我的留学申请书。我是一名来自江滨小城安庆的学生，就读于安庆市第一中学。我的名字叫___。不知是否是名字的缘故，我从小就与水结下了不解之缘。从扬子江畔到大海之滨，我带着梦想一步步奔流前进。

一、一位女生

我是一个善于思考、爱好广泛、积极进取的女孩，不论是长长的成绩单的前列，还是各类社会活动中，总能发现我的身影。我学习成绩优异，语文、历史等学科尤为突出，在各种联考、学期测试中多次获得分。同时，从小担任学习委员、语文课代表的经历帮我练就了良好的口才，扎实的语言功底和自信大方的风度。

升入高中以后，我的综合素质尤其是文学才能得到了更好的体现。我担任着安庆一中向未来文学社社长，在这片热土上播洒着青春的梦想。这期间，我组织并参与多期校刊的编辑和创作，举办文学讲座，组织采风活动，《中国校园文学》、《辽宁青年》、《中学生优秀作文》……各种报刊上都留下了我年轻而有朝气的文字。在校园广播站中，我依靠较强的编采读写能力和亲切的嗓音成为人气颇高的主播，带大家欣赏窗外的风景。

此外，我还通过选拔，成为学校合唱队的一员，加入了GLOBE气象观测小组。更为光荣的是，我被选为第一批入党积极分子，在业余党校努力学习……在这一系列的学习和工作中，我提升了自身的素养，也收获了不少荣誉。20_、20_年连续两届获得“中国少年作家杯”全国征文大赛一等奖;20__年获第七届“新作文杯”全国中小学生放胆作文大赛高中组一等奖;20_年校“新新文学”征文比赛一等奖，并被评为校优秀团员、三好学生。

二、一次经历

20_年9月16日是_纪念日。作为文学社社长，我以此为主题带头撰写了一批稿件。9月15日，我突然接到了校领导的电话，表示欣赏我的文章，并邀请我作为一名学生代表在纪念大会上发言，但必须新拟讲稿。进入高三以后学业繁重，当时我也身患感冒，噪音大打折扣，是不是婉拒这次邀请呢?经过了片刻的犹豫之后，我决定给自己一个挑战的机会。凭着担任校史讲解员所积累的知识，通过查阅相关史料，我很快写出了讲稿《永为国之栋》。

16日早晨，在全校师生、各届校友和众多市民的注视下，我从容地走上主席台，深吸一口气，朗声说道：“亲爱的老师、同学们，今天，当我们翻开安庆一中厚重的史稿，我们不会忘记这样一个日子……”当我结束发言、鞠躬致谢时，台下爆发出的热烈掌声告诉我;我做到了!校长赞许地拍了拍我的头，同学们纷纷向我表示祝贺——大家都没有发现我的噪音的小秘密。当日，我的讲稿被选登在《安庆日报》专版上，很多素不相识的师生见到我都说：“你是在大会上发言的※※吧!讲得真好!”

虽然这次经历只是我多彩的高中生活中的一个小小的片段，虽然这不是我最光鲜耀眼的荣誉，但它却最让我引以为傲;因为我明白了：相信自己，我可以做得更好!

三、一个梦想

想成为一名优秀新闻工作者的我，如今站在高三这个人生的十字路口，但步伐却一如从前，自信坚定。_大学就是我始终坚持的方向。她以她“自强不息、止于至善”的精神，深厚的文化底蕴及一流的教学水平深深地吸引着年轻的我。

20_年夏天，我同父母特地来到祖国的东南明珠_，提前感受了_那温暖亲切的怀抱。漫步于优雅大方的校园，看着来来往往的哥哥姐姐阳光的脸庞，品尝着_食堂可口的沙茶面，我真切地感受到：就是_!这就是我追逐梦想的舞台!

尊敬的老师，您能给我一个再次在这个美丽校园听涛声、品美食的机会吗?

Dear Sir：

The reason why I want to go Singapore is I like to learn some differentculture and I can meet a lot people from all around the world, that way I canmake more friends.

尊敬的x：

多年来，数学科学的研究一直吸引着我。决定攻读数学和物理的A—level是因为他们对这两个学科领域的兴趣都很高，而且能力很强。这反映在我x月x日收到的AS成绩中x;获得数学A级，这进一步激励了我对这门学科的追求。

我的兴趣已经扩展到计算机，在过去的几年里，试图将两者联系在一起已经成为我生活的重要组成部分。我自学了，使用书籍和其他可用资源，如何用HTML编程，这使我有可能在网页设计中发挥积极作用。

我的其他学术兴趣包括商业研究，尤其是与数学课程部分相关的管理和金融领域。我选择在Alevel中加入人文学科的部分原因是我需要分析和评估情况，商业研究让我有机会非常详细地做到这一点，我发现参与相关的课程很有治疗作用

实例探究。我还在攻读通识学科的A级课程，这增加了我对政治和文化问题的了解。该主题还鼓励有关时事的小组讨论，并为我提供发表意见的机会。

在过去的几年里，我一直是爱丁堡公爵计划的成员，该计划在学院内进行。x年x月，我完成了铜奖，现在正在努力争取我的金牌。这让我在团队合作、解决问题和保持高度责任感方面积累了丰富的经验。这些品质已被纳入10年级的成功工作经验安置以及我在知名零售店Marksand Spencer担任销售/管理助理的兼职工作。

我很享受在六年级的时光，并从学术和课外活动中获得乐趣。我觉得我拥有继续数学到更高水平所需的素质，并将其与我现在感兴趣的模块以及我希望在大学期间建立的领域相结合。我相信这种热情将与我坚定的决心和动力相结合，使我能够在_大学面临的挑战中取得成功。

尊敬的先生/女士：

你好，我叫x，是x大学的老师。也是x学生的班主任，我非常高兴地向你推荐我的学生x，并且相信它能够出色的完成在贵校硕士课程的学习。

自从他进入大学以来，常常表现出与年纪不相符的成熟和稳重。由于班上的大部分同学都来自其他省市，这第一次的出门离家的经历使得他们需要一个相当长的过程适应这个完全陌生的新环境。但我注意到，相比之下，某某同志很快的调整好了心态，积极主动地融入到这个新环境之中。

大学的课程与中学有很大不同，偏重在自学能力，而且专业课程的学习要求另一种思维方式。因此，在大一。大二，很多同学都表现出了不同程度的不适应，不知道该如何学习大学的课程。但是，某某同志适应能力很强，很快摸清了工商管理课程的关键，在很短的时间里就掌握了学习方法，而且其他任课老师都表示他对于新知识的接受能力很强，新学的知识他马上就能消化，当堂就能理解掌握。

可以这么说，班里的部分学生是拿着极其出色的高考成绩走进了我们学校，而某某同志凭借的则是他极强的自学能力和良好的学习方法。这一点，在每学期的期末考试上得到了很好地体现，尤其是在专业英语的期末考试中取得极其优秀的成绩，也是班里少数顺利通过英语四六级考试的同学。他对学习英语的热情和毅力是最让我感动的。除了学同学还校里足球队的主力队员，积极的参加校里组织的各项活动，有极强的组织和领导才能。他经常到我办公室或给我打电话，一起讨论他学习和生活中所遇到的问题，希望取得更好的学习成绩。概括的说某某同志是一个好学生。

我希望贵校能给他一个机会，让他在贵校严谨的学风和良好的学习环境中继续发挥他的特长，进一步提高专业知识，拓宽视野。望贵校考虑它的申请。

尊敬的__领导：?

您好!?

我是__省?中学高三应届理科学生__?。我希望通过贵校的_来实现我就读__的梦想，感谢您在百忙中抽出宝贵时间来审阅我的自荐材料。?

我一直有个梦想，梦想在__学习，梦想得到有着悠久历史和深厚文化底蕴的__的润泽。

从小学习成绩就非常优秀的我，凭借自己的努力以全市第十的优异的中考成绩考入景德镇市第二中学，并进入了奥赛班。经过三年的锤炼，我已经从一个单纯懵懂的男孩成长为一个热爱生活、追求知识、精力充沛、富有同情心、德智体全面发展的高中生。

我热爱生活，始终对生活充满信心和希望。在这个美丽的世界上，我享受着春花的美丽，秋月的温馨，夏雨的激情，冬雪的纯洁。我阳光，我快乐，我爱每一条河、每一座山、每一个人，我深爱着我所拥有的一切，即使是在苦累缠身的高三，我也痛并快乐着。我也希望把快乐传递给我身边的每一个人，我为强者欢呼，也为弱者流泪，我相信赠人玫瑰手有余香，相信人世间的真、善、美。为此我身边的人都非常喜欢我，称我为“开心果”。

我以同样的热情追求知识，我渴望了解人的心灵，渴望探求机器人的制造过程，渴望理解金融危机的产生原因，渴望知晓“六方会谈”的内容。所以我深爱学习，深爱看书。徜徉于书海之中，不断思考，不断领悟，其乐无穷。对知识的追求让我既增长了知识，开阔了眼界;又让我培养了情趣，提升了气质;还让我颐养了性情、平衡了心态。?

我的精力充沛，源于对生活的热爱，源于对知识的热情。在学习上，我认真刻苦，成绩优异，高三质检考试成绩在全校名列前茅，在今年第二十四届高中生化学竞赛(省级赛区)中荣获二等奖。除了抓好学习外，一直担任副班长的我还积极参加学校组织的各种活动。篮球赛、足球赛、校园歌手大赛、社会实践等活动中都能看到我的身影，既提高了我的能力，又锻炼了我的胆量。?

但我深知我还只是“小荷才露尖尖角”，成才之路浩漫漫，我还必须不断地锻造自己，提升自己。如果我有幸能进入自己梦寐以求的__殿堂深造，我定会上下而求索，把自己磨砺成一个具备独特文化品位、非凡才能和良好综合素质，敢闯敢拼的优秀人才。?

所以在此我恳请贵校领导能够给我一次实现理想的机会。?

敬礼!?

Dear _,

It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the lengthof time that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire, but inthe richness and the wonderfulness of life itself. With the increase of my age,many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains constant, that is, Iwill consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavorscan be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I canrealize the value of my life.

My undergraduate study focused on economics and I achieved remarkablescholastic performance in this field. My GPA is 3.44 (my GRE score is 20__ andTOEFL---- ). For four consecutive years of my undergraduate study, I receivedscholarships for my distinguished academic performance. Due to my equallyprominent performance in extracurricular activities I was conferred on theOutstanding Student in Campus Activities. However, honestly speaking, my realinterest lies not in economics, but in education. Ever since I was a primaryschool student, I had cherished a strong desire for a teaching careerexemplified by my teachers. In the actual teaching career that I embarked onupon my graduating from university, I have become increasingly aware that theexisting educational conditions in China are far from satisfactory. The backwardteaching methodology and the prevailing pedagogical ideology have renderedChinese education out of place with the modern international development ineducation. On the macro level, the current education theory and practice inChina lag significantly behind advanced countries in the West. For instance,though education via the internet has achieved considerable development in pasttwo years, in practical operation such education has more often than notdeteriorated into an extended form of the conventional examination-orientededucation instead of a really interactive process. In my personal experience,despite the fact that some of the problems that I have encountered in myteaching career can be solved by consulting relevant technical literature, Ihave found that the more serious flaws inherent in Chinas current educationalsystem cannot be worked out easily. Under such circumstances, an advancedprogram in education becomes necessary.

In this age of information, traditional education, both in its ideology andmethodology, has met unprecedented challenge like many other aspects of humanexistence. Meanwhile, the pursuit for higher levels of educational developmentand of the quality of life has largely transformed the educational valueorientation of the general public. The educational model that is centered aroundthe cognitive and intellectual instruction has been seriously questioned.Greater attention has been devoted to the cultivation of well-developedpersonality and to the ontological status of the individual in education. Suchissues as the internal studies of education science, scientific decision-makingin education, and meta-education have also been increasingly emphasized upon.There have also been innovations in educational research methodology. Thetendency has been to combine modern technology with humanistic researchcategories and with naturalistic research categories, and to organicallyintegrate qualitative descriptions with quantitative descriptions. It is alsoimportant to carry out educational experimentations in which educationalpredictions are complemented by educational feedbacks. Both the complexity ofeducation and the complexity of human individuals have made the comprehensiveapplication of diverse educational approaches necessary. Those new horizons arewhat fascinate me.

In view of the following qualifications that I have acquired, I believethat I will acquit myself satisfactorily in the prospective Ph.D. program ineducation that I am currently endeavoring to apply for. First and foremost, asis often claimed, ones interest is ones best director. I believe that I willdo well what I am really interested in doing. Secondly, though I majored ineconomics as an undergraduate, my trainings during that stage helped developeffective modes of thinking and research approaches. In addition, Iconscientiously self-studied many works related to education, including ADevelopmental History of Educational Science in the West, which enabled me toconstruct a solid groundwork for more advanced studies in this field. Next, itcan be safely asserted that education and economics are not entirely separated.For example, it is necessary to apply many statistical methods in educationalpsychology and my academic record indicates that statistics is the subject thatI am most good at. Last but not the least, my current teaching career and myteaching experience will play a positive role in facilitating my target degreeprogram.

The reason why I apply for the University of -- is that it is the firststate university with a time-honored history. The School of Education in thisuniversity is quite prominent among its counterparts in the field. I amparticularly attracted by the Schools powerful pedagogical resource, vibrantintellectual atmosphere and a comprehensive curriculum. I plan to apply for adegree program in Instructional Technology or Educational Psychology, both ofwhich enjoy unparalleled academic reputation in the world. My application forInstructional Technology is motivated by my strong interest in the applicationof modern science and technology, especially the information technologyrepresented by the Internet, in the field of education and in the nature of aseries of revolutionary changes resulting thereof. Instructional Technology is anew discipline that has emerged as a result of the rapid development of moderncommunication technology since the late 20th century. It has tremendouspotential for development and commercial application. As for my motive inselecting Educational Psychology as another possible area of specialization inmy degree program, it is my long-cherished interest that primarily counts. Onthe other hand, all the accomplished educators since the 1960s have beenwell-versed in psychology. Almost every important new educational theory isderived psychological findings in one way or another so that educationalpsychology has subsequently developed into a fundamental subject for the scienceof education. The tendency in the 21st century is to emphasize on the microresearch of educational activities and against this backdrop educationalpsychology will be attached greater importance. In Instructional Technology, Iwould like to focus on the following studies: how to improve educationalefficiency by applying research results from natural sciences and engineeringtechnology; how to explore the combination and coordination of pedagogicalcontents and to improve teaching methodology by exploiting the theoreticalfindings from psychology and educational science concerning the process ofteaching and learning. In Educational Psychology, I will concentrate on appliedcognition and development, gifted and creative education, genetics and childrendevelopment, personality structure and individual differences and other relatedsubjects.

For me, to shift from economics to education and to pursue an advanceddegree in the United States is not so much a challenge as an opportunity. Atpresent, major reforms are being introduced into virtually every importantaspect of Chinese society. The field of education especially calls forcomprehensive reforms. The United States occupies an absolutely leading positionin the present-day world in education. It is my conviction that, in the UnitedStates, advanced educational theories, technologies and information willfacilitate me immensely in the achievement of remarkable academic progress,fulfilling my aspiration to become an accomplished professional in the field ofeducation. This will not only bring my patriotic fervor into reality but alsomake my life more meaningful and rewarding.

Yours sincerely,
