Answer 1

【答案】Dear Sir／Madam,

I am a Chinese high school student who will graduate in June next year. Admiring your reputation as a top 10 UK university, I am writing to apply to get further education in your university.

As a student of liberal arts, I’d like to major in English literature. On one hand, I’m fascinated by reading books of English literature due to its long history and a long list of world-famous writers. On the other hand, I’m sure that I can learn it well because English is my favorite subject during my senior school years, which will be helpful for my further studying college. Being an active, hardworking, optimistic and tolerant person, I not only have excellent academic performance but also have participated in a variety of activities, from which I have improved my leadership and communication skills as well as the ability to do team work.

I understand overseas study can be challenging and demanding. Nevertheless, I am convinced that I will strive hard to fulfill my literary dream if given the chance. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I would appreciate it if you could reply to me at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
