Hello everyone!
I need your help..I just finish my letter of
motivation for my study abroad semester. Please, can you check the
grammar? Any suggestions for the content are also welcome.
I really appreciate your help. If you have any
further questions, do not hesitate to ask me.
Thanks a lot!
Dear Madam or Sir,
my name is ** ** and I am studying Industrial Engineering and Management at the University of Applied Sciences ***(name)**, **(country)**. I am writing this letter to apply for admission for the Study Abroad program at the **(name)** University of Technology, Australia.
I finished my basic studies back in year 2007 and my 7th semester is supposed to be either a practical training or a Study Abroad semester. I have chosen to apply for one semester at your University in **(city)**.
Having the chance of studying abroad and becoming an engineer have always been the most ambition in my life since young. I like to face the challenges of living in a foreign country and to gain cross-cultural competence. I think that one semester abroad will help me learn how to adapt to a foreign culture, mentality and way of life which in my opinion are very important for broadening one's horizon.
I have never been to Australia before but I know from fellow students that Australians are very open and friendly people. The ** television shows your beautiful countryside and the multicultural appearance of most big cities like **(city)**. So I chose the country wich is the most furthest away from my homeland.
But the reason for choosing especially the ** University for my studies is based on its academic reputation and as well on the offering of courses it provides, which perfectly suit my interests. I also know from your Study Abroad Guide 2008 that the ** University is a very international university, so I would have the opportunity to meet many students from different backgrounds and cultures.
One semester in Australia will also be a great opportunity to improve my English skills. Since graduating from secondary school I regularly read English texts in newspapers, books or on the Internet, but I did not regularly have chances to talk to native speakers. As I am planning to work abroad after my graduation and, as a manager, I would like to be able to speak fluently in conversations.
With my academic background and relevant studying field, I am confidence that I am qualify and able to perform well in this program. I really hope that my application for the Study Abroad program 2008 will be allowed.
Yours sincerely,
