In that period I also developed a love for movie trailers. They can make us laugh, thrill us, anger us, and leave us with goose bumps all within two minutes.&amp;nbsp; I see it as a challenge to leave an impression or feeling behind in such a short time. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Making a good trailer can be the start of making a good movie as trailers can be used to raise funding for a film before it is even shot.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;It can be the way for me to achieve my goal; starting small and eventually make it big.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my travels I started writing down my ideas and experiences with the intention of getting them on screen. I came to the subtle realization that I do not know or understand nearly as much as I would like to or have envisioned myself knowing. There is much more I need to learn to realize my dream and direct those stories into good movies. I want to be the best I can be and as a woman I feel the need to prove myself even more since the majority of great directors consists of men. &lt;br /&gt;But when people ask me why I choose such a difficult line of work to get into my answer is a standard one: I chose film, because I believe I can excel in it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to go to *** because I am interested in exploring the world, looking for opportunities. The knowledge, skills and experiences that I benefit from the *** program will contribute greatly to my future career. A terrific benefit of this course is not only to boost chance of my future international career but also I will have opportunities to meet people from various nations and cultures, offering me different points of view and contributing to my flexibility and creativity, besides the cultural and language gains. I believe that life is not just about sitting and planning rather it is more importantly, about going out and implementing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The *** at UNI is one of the few that offers me the opportunity to enhance my knowledge in film in such a way that I would be ready to make a real contribution to the industry after one year, opposed to other universities where the film programs mainly take two years or more. This is not only impossible financially but I prefer the practical way of learning that is offered UNI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one blockage at this stage, in my having a great learning experience at UNI: funding of expenses. At this point in my life I am independent and responsible for my own expenses. It is very difficult for me to raise funds from any organizations, as they mainly fund students who are Canadian or US Citizens. As for Dutch organizations it is hard to get funding for a private learning facility like UNI. A second problem is my living expenses. I have a student visa; therefore I will not be able to work in the US during my year in school. I will have to invest a great part of my savings in living expenses. My stay&amp;nbsp; is partly being funded through a student loan taken from the Dutch Government. Hence, I would certainly need financial aid in the form of a grant to help pay for my tuition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that I will be accepted as an applicant and a beneficiary of the *** Grant for the 2008-2009 programs. I am confident that I am qualified and will get everything out of my time at the UNI. &lt;br /&gt;I would be grateful if you could give my application your most favorable consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours faithfully</description></item><item><title>Grant application letter </title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/GrantApplicationLetter/glwmd/post.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:34:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:557688</guid><dc:creator>colorada</dc:creator><description>Hay,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to write a application letter to get a grant for my tuition but since I&amp;#39;m not a native english speaker I would greatly appreciate it when someone would check this out and give me some comments.&lt;br /&gt;thank you 100 times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;#39;m applying for a tuition application and since I&amp;#39;m not from the US I&amp;#39;m not really sure how to.&lt;br /&gt;I made a first draft and I would greatly appreciate it if someone would take a look at it and tell me if it&amp;#39;s a good one or leave some comments.&lt;br /&gt;Many thanks!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear sir/ Madam,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this letter, I would like to apply for the *** tuition for the *** program in at *** in ***, which will start October 2nd 2008.&lt;br /&gt;I studied ***, from 2001-2005, at The Haarlem Business School in Holland, where I obtained a bachelorâs degree.

&lt;P&gt;I am 20 years old and I am studying the equivalent to proficiency exam at the official language school in Spain. Furthermore I studied French for four years at high school and I have been several times to Italy what have provided me an enough level for the general understanding in both languages.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Being my first tongue Spanish and having attended to an international course myself, as you can see from the attached C.V., I consider me the ideal person to develop the job.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Moreover, I would be happy to attend an interview at any time of your convenience.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would like to apply for the position of
Senior Secretary that was advertised in the Classified Section of the Business
Post on 10
 December 2005.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Much of the work I do in my present
position at Matterson Exports is that of a Personal Assistant.&amp;nbsp; I deal not only with the routine work of a
secretary but also help to handle the import / export document.&amp;nbsp; I have gained the I/E experience for two
years in my previous job.&amp;nbsp; Your
advertisement asked for good English and a knowledge of Putonghau.&amp;nbsp; Since I have a family speaking with
Putonghua, I can speak Putonghua fluently.&amp;nbsp;

initiative and able to motivate other staff.&amp;nbsp;
I am confident that these skills are required by senior secretary at
your company.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;I would be happy to provide more
information if invited to an interview.&amp;nbsp;
It would be appreciated if you give me two daysâ notice for the
interview.&amp;nbsp; I look forward to answer any
questions regarding my application.&lt;/p&gt;

I have tried to write an application letter, which is below. Can anyone have a look at it and give me some feedback on it, please? I would really appreciate any suggestion concerning not only the grammar, but also the content of the letter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much, I really appreciate your job!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;_____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear sir or madam,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I am writing to you to apply for a summer work placement at
your department.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;My name si AB and I come from Finland. This semester I am studying at the University of Sheffield as an
Erasmus Student. I study Human Geography programme with specialisation in
regional development and regional policy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I would like to utilize the opportunity of studying in the United
Kingdom and extend my stay beyond the end of the semester over summer holiday.
My plan is to spend this time in work placement at a regional planning
department. I have explored your internet pages, and I was very interested in
the topics you are dealing with, such as the creation of Local Plans, Joint
Structure Plan or Local Development Framework. I would like to apply for a 4-week
placement in June or July, most preferably at the Department of Forward Planning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;During my prior studies I have been working on several
training developmental project. We were mostly engaging with rural microregionsâ
strategic plans. I am very reliable person and I can work hard. The stay in
Yorkshire gave me a good opportunity to get in touch with local environment and
people, and, I have to say, it has really caught my heart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;I believe, the placement would really help me in my future
studies and prospective career. It would enhance my theoretical knowledge on a
practical process of communal planning and it would also give me the
opportunity to compare the British planning practise with the Finnish one. I
think, I could learn a lot and spend really enriching summer in this way.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Thank you for considering my request. I am looking forward
to your reply. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yours Faithfully, &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;Dear Sir or Madam,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;I am a master student studying Distributed Systems at *** University. I would like to apply for the PhD position in *** Univeristy. I planed to pursue my research in the field of distributed systems, especially peer-to-peer networks.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;At present, I am involved in my master thesis with the topicâAdaptive Wireless Multimedia Servicesâ at *** Institute. This thesis mainly focuses on the voice over IP quality of service control and adaptation on the client side. My implementation is made on an open source Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based software phone Minisip. While doing my thesis research, I found that, to some extent, the quality of the end-to-end real-time multimedia streaming can be adjusted automatically on the user side, by switching the Coder-Decoders, according to the feedbacks about network performance, such as packet loss, jitter, and available bandwidth, etc. Meanwhile, I noticed that when network performance suffers drastic degradation, even the feedbacks could be lost, delayed, or transmitted out of order, in this case, the information carried in the feedbacks can not guarantee in time accurate network estimations.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;All these questions revealed in my master thesis, as well as my education background in the field of distributed systems inspired me to look into another direction in this research area. To my knowledge, end-to-end real-time multimedia streaming can be extended and conducted in a peer-to-peer manner, where streaming frames can be forwarded through intermediate peers, and Skype is one of the most successful commercial VoIP software phones using peer-to-peer streaming. I deeply know that, from the positive point of view, peer-to-peer networks are more fault resilient, can easily provide content distribution, resource sharing, as well as virtual collaboration, while on the opposite side, some issues, such as security and environment management are exposed due to the inherent distribution feature of this kind of networks. Additionally, when implementing peer-to-peer streaming, more constraints should be taken into account, such as in time frame delivery, and quality of service provisioning and control, etc.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;I have carefully read several peer-to-peer streaming related research papers, and their topics range from the solution of the lower layered peer-to-peer network infrastructure to the upper layered security and privacy management, aiming at providing high quality, high security and low network burden real-time multimedia streaming. From these papers, I noticed that there are still a lot of blanks in this research filed waiting to be filled in, rather than this, I also have a great interest to devote myself to some other peer-to-peer network related research fields, and I am fully prepared to give my contribution wholeheartedly to this booming technology, where *** Univerisity, with its world-class reputation, will be a perfect knowledge ground for me to pursue my beloved research career.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;I believe, with the combination of my profile and passion for research, I am a strong candidate for the PhD position&amp;nbsp;at *** University. I will be very excited to hear from you. Thank you very much for your consideration.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=å®ä½ size=2&gt;Yours faithfully,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
