Hello , there are numerous posts about how writing the letter I got mine just started and would really like if someone could check for grammar and give few advices what to add or take out. It's not done yet but here it is:

 

My name is Adam and my main language is not english :)

 

okay as befroe here it goes :p

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

I am writing to apply for bachelor’s degree in xxx and xxx.

 

Currently I am studying xxx at xxx uni. Although it’s the last year before I graduate I want to change course because I understood that currently this course has no prospects also I found out that Business and marketing suits me better and it is area where I want to realize myself and where I would enjoy working. I want to study at xxx University because gaining bachelor’s degree in a prestigious university will grant me a huge amount of knowledge and experience from a country where marketing and business them self are on a different level than in my country. Also it will grant me a diploma which will be recognised around the world.

 

I’ve been studying English since second grade also I took extra classes for 8 years at a qualified teacher. I am quite confident of my English because during my vacations it was the main language for communicating with locals and I had no problems in understanding various accents or just having a conversation with them. I did numerous TOEFL and IELTS tests from previous years and had good scores, but I never managed to do it in a British embassy for those scores to count, probably because I did not plan to leave the country and they don’t make a difference here in xxx.

 

I always wanted to go study abroad when I graduate from school but I never did. I guess I was young and too afraid to go alone to a country where I never been before, to live on my own but now I’m mature enough to face all the challenges that might appear abroad.

 

thank you for your time if you read this and thank you in advance if you give me any advice !

Hi,

(I'm not a teacher)

hope it helps, good luck :)



Dear Sir or Madam:


I am writing to apply for bachelor's degree in xxx and xxx.


Currently I am studying xxx at xxx uni. Although it's the last year before I graduate I would like  to change my course, because I understood that this course has no prospects for the present time. Aso, I feel a stronger adherence to the subjects of business and marketing. This is the area where I want to realize myself and where I would enjoy building up my future career. I want to study at xxx University because gaining a bachelor's degree in a prestigious university will grant me advantages such as wide knowledge and experience. Another benefit is the high level of priority that marketing and business occupy in XXX (name of the country) comparing to their popularity in my own country. Also it will grant me a diploma which will be recognised around the world.


I've been studying English since the second grade and I also took extra classes for 8 years by a qualified teacher. I am quite confident of my English, judging by my experience of communicating with locals on my trips and vacations. I had no problems understanding various accents or just leading a conversation. I did numerous TOEFL and IELTS tests from previous years and acheieved high scores, but I never managed to do it in a British embassy for those scores to count, probably because I did not plan to leave the country and they don't make a difference here in xxx. (this sentence looks awkward, but I don't quite understand its meaning, so I don't change it)


I have always wanted to go study abroad after graduating school but I never did. I guess I was young and didn't have the courage to go alone to a foreign country where I have never been before, amd live on my own. Now I'm mature enough to face all the challenges that might appear abroad.
