I‘m writing to you to apply for a scholarship of your school. I’m very gladto hear you can provide scholarship for exchange students. That‘s really goodnews for me. And I am very appreciating that you can give me a chance to explainway I want to apply for a scholarship. My name is Haoyu Liu. I’m 17 years oldand I‘m a fresh man in Taiyuan No.2 Foreign Language High School. I’m very proudof as one of my school. I‘m diligent and I know I must be a useful person. So Ialways tell myself that I have to learn more and more. I’m also very outgoingand I like to help people as possible as I can. That‘s way I got many friends. Iwas born in Jixian， a small county with poor land and terrible weather. Myparents were farming at home. Even life doesn’t easy， I still hopeful enough. Istill love my hometown and I want to do something for my country. So I want tolearn more knowledge as possible as I can. I know how hard people‘s life. So Iwant to change it by myself. That’s way I‘m diligent and I like to help people.But when I went to high school， our life got worst. My parents can’t afford mytuition. So my father went to Taiyuan to find a job. And we have to rent alittle house near by my school because my school is far from my hometown. But Istill keep my faith， because I know that my family will support me to let mydream come true forever. When I got the information that I can be an exchangestudent， I was exciting but confusing. I really want to go to German to studybut I don‘t want my parents worry about my tuition. So I’m writing this letterto you to apply for a scholarship of your school. I wish I can do better justbecause I have a dream that I can change my family， my hometown even my country.I hope I can share responsibility for my parents from this thing. At school， I‘ma good student. I’m interested about sports， arts and science. I also like tostudy foreign language. That‘s way I chose to study German and English atschool. I noticed that language can let me communicate with others easily. But Ican’t only study language. I have to know about the Germanic culture clearly.That‘s way I need to be an exchange student this time. But I need your trust. Ineed a scholarship of your school， because I’m a good student. I have a dream.In that dream， I can see my parents are smiling because I became a usefulperson. I can see my teachers are smiling when I came back from German. My willis strong. And I know I can do better when I go to German. So I‘m writing to youto apply a scholarship. And I’m waiting for your return. Thank you for your kindheart and reading my letter.

Dear _,
It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length of time that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire, but in the 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, I will consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavors can be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I can realize the value of my life.
My undergraduate study focused on economics and I achieved remarkable scholastic performance in this field. My GPA is 3.44 （my GRE score is 2020 and TOEFL---- ）。 For four consecutive years of my undergraduate study, I received scholarships for my distinguished academic performance. Due to my equally prominent performance in extracurricular activities I was conferred on the Outstanding Student in Campus Activities. However, honestly speaking, my real interest lies not in economics, but in education. Ever since I was a primary school student, I had cherished a strong desire for a teaching career exemplified by my teachers. In the actual teaching career that I embarked on upon my graduating from university, I have become increasingly aware that the existing educational conditions in China are far from satisfactory. The backward teaching methodology and the prevailing pedagogical ideology have rendered Chinese education out of place with the modern international development in education. On the macro level, the current education theory and practice in China lag significantly behind advanced countries in the West. For instance, though education via the internet has achieved considerable development in past two years, in practical operation such education has more often than not deteriorated into an extended form of the conventional examination-oriented education instead of a really interactive process. In my personal experience, despite the fact that some of the problems that I have encountered in my teaching career can be solved by consulting relevant technical literature, I have found that the more serious flaws inherent in China's current educational system cannot be worked out easily. Under such circumstances, an advanced program in education becomes necessary.
In this age of information, traditional education, both in its ideology and methodology, has met unprecedented challenge like many other aspects of human existence. Meanwhile, the pursuit for higher levels of educational development and of the quality of life has largely transformed the educational value orientation of the general public. The educational model that is centered around the cognitive and intellectual instruction has been seriously questioned. Greater attention has been devoted to the cultivation of well-developed personality and to the ontological status of the individual in education. Such issues as the internal studies of education science, scientific decision-making in education, and meta-education have also been increasingly emphasized upon. There have also been innovations in educational research methodology. The tendency has been to combine modern technology with humanistic research categories and with naturalistic research categories, and to organically integrate qualitative descriptions with quantitative descriptions. It is also important to carry out educational experimentations in which educational predictions are complemented by educational feedbacks. Both the complexity of education and the complexity of human individuals have made the comprehensive application of diverse educational approaches necessary. Those new horizons are what fascinate me.
In view of the following qualifications that I have acquired, I believe that I will acquit myself satisfactorily in the prospective Ph.D. program in education that I am currently endeavoring to apply for. First and foremost, as is often claimed, one's interest is one's best director. I believe that I will do well what I am really interested in doing. Secondly, though I majored in economics as an undergraduate, my trainings during that stage helped develop effective modes of thinking and research approaches. In addition, I conscientiously self-studied many works related to education, including A Developmental History of Educational Science in the West, which enabled me to construct a solid groundwork for more advanced studies in this field. Next, it can be safely asserted that education and economics are not entirely separated. For example, it is necessary to apply many statistical methods in educational psychology and my academic record indicates that statistics is the subject that I am most good at. Last but not the least, my current teaching career and my teaching experience will play a positive role in facilitating my target degree program.
The reason why I apply for the University of -- is that it is the first state university with a time-honored history. The School of Education in this university is quite prominent among its counterparts in the field. I am particularly attracted by the School's powerful pedagogical resource, vibrant intellectual atmosphere and a comprehensive curriculum. I plan to apply for a degree program in Instructional Technology or Educational Psychology, both of which enjoy unparalleled academic reputation in the world. My application for Instructional Technology is motivated by my strong interest in the application of modern science and technology, especially the information technology represented by the Internet, in the field of education and in the nature of a series of revolutionary changes resulting thereof. Instructional Technology is a new discipline that has emerged as a result of the rapid development of modern communication technology since the late 20th century. It has tremendous potential for development and commercial application. As for my motive in selecting Educational Psychology as another possible area of specialization in my degree program, it is my long-cherished interest that primarily counts. On the other hand, all the accomplished educators since the 1960's have been well-versed in psychology. Almost every important new educational theory is derived psychological findings in one way or another so that educational psychology has subsequently developed into a fundamental subject for the science of education. The tendency in the 21st century is to emphasize on the micro research of educational activities and against this backdrop educational psychology will be attached greater importance. In Instructional Technology, I would like to focus on the following studies: how to improve educational efficiency by applying research results from natural sciences and engineering technology; how to explore the combination and coordination of pedagogical contents and to improve teaching methodology by exploiting the theoretical findings from psychology and educational science concerning the process of teaching and learning. In Educational Psychology, I will concentrate on applied cognition and development, gifted and creative education, genetics and children development, personality structure and individual differences and other related subjects.
For me, to shift from economics to education and to pursue an advanced degree in the United States is not so much a challenge as an opportunity. At present, major reforms are being introduced into virtually every important aspect of Chinese society. The field of education especially calls for comprehensive reforms. The United States occupies an absolutely leading position in the present-day world in education. It is my conviction that, in the United States, advanced educational theories, technologies and information will facilitate me immensely in the achievement of remarkable academic progress, fulfilling my aspiration to become an accomplished professional in the field of education. This will not only bring my patriotic fervor into reality but also make my life more meaningful and rewarding.

Dear_,
Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies， economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Though more and more companies built， management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning field in China， so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England.
The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. As a young girl， it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures， and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. My mother was also involved in business as an accountant， helping him with simple calculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I， also， would someday be able to enter the realm of business.
With the time of growing up， I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered. Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.
As a high school student in China， I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination (CEE)， even so， books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June， 2001， I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms， I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At that moment， I lost my direction and objectives.
My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter of fact， I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American， and some books about management by Peter ker. I began to notice something interesting： Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell more than others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?
With the questions in my mind， I started to read many relevant books. I was lucky to read the book “Jack： Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch， in Which John A. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. When I was a junior， I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. From this， my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed， definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing. By December， 2003， I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge， I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.
Fortunately， as a senior， I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months， I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system， which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies. After graduation， I continued my work in this company. In May， 2005， the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes， they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.
During the short period of training， I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster， with its excellence in management， represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challenging environment， I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. With this in mind， I hereby submit my application， and await your favorable reply.
Yours sincerely,

My name is Lin Hao, from Northeast China---Heilongjiang Province. The long-term and cold climate has allowed me to develop a tough and tenacious character in the course of my life. In 20 years, I was admitted to China with excellent results. Jilin University, a prestigious university, is currently studying for a bachelor's degree in economics majoring in international economics and trade, and a second degree in futures investment and management major in the same period. My university is a comprehensive university with a very complete range of disciplines. My university life has not only enabled me to develop a comprehensive and three-dimensional development in learning methods and professional knowledge, but more importantly, it has improved my ability to integrate knowledge of various disciplines. At the same time, it greatly increased my desire for knowledge. Therefore, I decided to study in the UK after graduation. Through understanding, I currently hope to apply for a __University__ major.
Family is very important to everyone, because it is the first classroom for us to receive education. My grandfather was a banker, my father was a businessman, and my mother was a statistician. Their words and deeds to me played an extremely important role in the establishment and development of my outlook on life and values, and also helped me. Established an honest, hardworking, and never-say-fail character. So influenced by them, I am very interested in finance disciplines. My family is the most important asset in my life. It gives me the interest in learning this subject and the character of going forward courageously.
Through the learning of professional knowledge, I have developed a strong interest in economics and finance. I read "Life Economics" by Dr. David Friedman. In the book, he used easy-to-understand cases. Combining the misty principles of economics with people’s ordinary life has enabled me to master the economic principles that most people find boring, and the learning methods in real life. At the same time, I have a good understanding of Fried Dr. Man developed a feeling of worship. In the same year, I read his masterpiece "Price Theory" again. Through the study of this book, I became obsessed with knowledge of currency and finance. Due to the strong desire for knowledge, I started to minor in the second degree "Futures Investment and Management"。 During this period, I met a mentor, Professor Lu, a very famous scholar in China's futures industry. Professor Lu combines the theory and practice of the futures market, and combines the true meaning of life with the operation of the futures market, which is regarded as a "casino" by outsiders, and teaches us the knowledge of the futures market and economic investment. This teaching method is in line with my learning habits, so I quickly entered the state. We often discuss the development of China’s futures industry and the price fluctuations of the world futures market together. In the autumn of 2005, I was invited to assist him in completing the "China Financial Futures" Research work on the "Enlightenment of the Japanese Yen Development Route to the Development of China's Renminbi" in the "Market Establishment" project. Because of his outstanding performance, he won the appreciation of Professor Lu.
In addition to studying professional knowledge, in my spare time, I also established the first leukemia volunteer organization in Jilin Province and served as the chairman. Helped 10 children with leukemia from poor families in the form of voluntary activities. Every year, they held lectures on leukemia knowledge at Jilin University, as well as volunteer registration activities for the Chinese bone marrow bank (Chinese hematopoietic stem cell bank)， and blood sample extraction activities. In the past three years, the association has been Under my leadership, we have made considerable progress and achieved outstanding results. Many media have reported on our activities. On the website of _社 on October 25, 20_, we also reported on our activities. In addition, my deeds were also reported to the famous Chinese student magazine "East, West, South, North and University Students" Issue 03 of the year 20_. These honors fully prove the affirmation of my work by the society and the school. Now, one of every 150 volunteers in the Chinese bone marrow bank is developed by my association. The association has also been awarded the title of Jilin University Boutique Association for three consecutive years. I was also named the first "Moving Ji University" of Jilin University. The title of top ten college students, and at the same time, through the establishment of a volunteer association, not only enabled me to realize the value of life, but also exercised my organizational skills, which greatly improved my personal quality. In addition, I also like sports very much. I am good at sprinting, football, etc. Young, I should be full of vitality.
In the summer of 20_, as a student representative of Jilin University, I visited a famous university. As a Chinese representative, I participated in more than ten student exchange activities, and as a cultural messenger, I spread Chinese traditions and modern culture to the students, and through the visit, I learned some culture and visited their education system. In the process, I was deeply moved by the university's advanced teaching mode and strong scientific research capabilities. Compared with my own school, although we have developed rapidly, there is still a gap between the world's top education. This feeling inspired my enthusiasm for learning. After returning to my country, I decided to use my own strength to make my own contribution to the development of my motherland. This is also an important reason why I applied to your school, because as a The responsibility of the Chinese is to use the advanced knowledge I learned overseas to build my motherland.
"Practice, firm, and hardworking" is the fine tradition I inherited, and it is also my life creed. Facing the imminent graduation from university, a strong thirst for knowledge and a passion for professional knowledge, I decided to continue my professional study and accept the rigorous teaching, cutting-edge research and new ways of thinking in the university, so as to enrich myself and realize myself I also hope that I can become the messenger of the culture of the two countries. Thank you for your attention and look forward to your reply!

“Life is Like a Box of Chocolates. You Never Know What You are Going toGet”。 Such words come from a famous movie “Forrest Gump”。 I don’t know what kindof chocolate life will give me, but I believe I can achieve my target if I workhard with my unwavering belief and persevering efforts like Forrest Gump. As astudent of Mechanical Engineering, I have just finished my undergraduate studysince July. Next what I have to face is to choose the new chocolate which I haveyearned for all long. With four-year study of M.E. in China, I would like toscale higher intellectual heights by undertaking advanced studies in __University, as I believe its rich learning environment and free academicatmosphere will open my eyes to new realities and influence me to confront thesituation back home.
My strong interest in research was born during the undergraduate years at_University. Upon entering the university in 20__, I began to embark on myjourney of industrious study in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Myexceptionally solid foundation in mathematics and physics provided me with astepping stone with which I proceeded onto the exploration of othersophisticated and erudite subjects. My performance in all the specialty-relatedcoursework not only enabled me to secure good GPA ranking me about top 17 in mygrade among 169 students but also furnished me with a powerful instrumentwhereby to materialize my dreams in the research. I constantly congratulated myluck to obtain a lot of scholarships and awards, due to my academic achievement,from the university, especially the scholarship of “_University – AmericanUnited Technological Corporation”, awarded only for the best students who areboth good at academic and social capacity. Not contented with doing a good jobin mere coursework, I endeavored to keep abreast with the latest theories andtechnologies by reading extensively technical literature in recent journals andattending the lecture some famous professors made. During my undergraduatecareer, I have grasped every chance to do some researching work. I used toparticipate in at least six projects including the intern work in the factory,mechanical designs and graduate design.
Especially during the period from September to November of 20__, I readmany books and journals in the field of mechanical engineering such as “Handbookof Practical Gear Design” (Written by __). In these books, I did intensivereading on the theory of the speed reducer. I investigated and discussed with myteacher on how to apply the theory into the practice. Then according to myteacher’s advice, I tried to organize a team consisting of five members to makea harmonic gear reducer. As a team leader, I should not only take charge of thewhole arrangement of project but also make every member of the team cooperatewith each other harmoniously. Before starting the program, I, together with myteam, made a detailed plan covering the schedule, materials, and equipment. Thefirst step of our work is the design of the reducer. The design plan is asfollows: (1) Set down the blue print. (2) Complete 3-D solid model with Pro/Esoftware. (3) Finite-element analysis with ANSYS software. (4) Assemblingsimulation by using Pro/E. (5) Complete the 2-D draft of part and assembly.After two-week design work, we stepped to the next work, manufacture of theproduct. With the aid of the technique of computer, we plan the manufacturingprocess of every part. And then, all parts were made with various machine toolssuch as comC lathe, wire electrical discharge machine, vertical machining center,and so on. Finally, we had toassembly all parts to the harmonic gear reducer,and test-drove it for many times. With five-week unremitting efforts, wesucceeded in the project of harmonic gear reducer and obtained the highestpraise. This special experience makes it very helpful for my further study.Firstly, I find the connection between theory and practice. Textbooks couldhardly cover everything, therefore, if we want to learn more, we should pursueevery opportunity to have practices. Meanwhile, I experienced the importance andmightiness of cooperation. In the project, we divided ourselves into severalparts, not only doing one’s own work well, but also cooperating with each otherharmoniously.
Another case worthy mentioning is my design project for graduation,“Manufacturing and Performance of Electroplated CBN Tools”。 The main objectiveof this project is the manufacturing of the electroplated CBN (Cubic BoronNitride) wheels and the research of its performance when grinding theheat-resisted steel. I had completed three steps of task. Firstly, I took chargeof the manufacturing of electroplated CBN wheels, covering the following work:selecting electroplating solution, computing various electroplating parameterssuch as electrical current and temperature, adhering CBN to the tool base byelectroplating a nickel layer. After these basic preparations, I had to do thesecond part of the research work to compare grinding abilities of electroplatedCBN wheels with those of other wheels such as SiC wheels, Al2O3 wheels etc. Thispart of the work needs the researcher’s highly particularity and staidness. Idid the detailed work as follows: (1) Grind heat-resisted steel with variouswheels in the same grinding conditions. (2) Record data and compute the grindingratio of various wheels. (3) Measure the surface roughness of the heat-resistedsteel ground by various wheels. (4) Observe dulling and pullout of abrasivegrains of various wheels by using optical microscope. In this part, we canconclude that electroplated wheels have far better grinding abilities than otherwheels, by comparing parameters, such as grinding ratio, surface roughness etc.The final assignment of the project is to find out the most suitable parametersof grinding heat-resisted steel with electroplated CBN wheels, through comparingthe grinding ratio and surface roughness of heat-resisted steel ground indifferent grinding parameters. By investigating the attributes of electroplatedCBN wheels and concluding their practical grinding parameters, this project isvery important in promoting the application of them.
China’s unique advantage of labor force predicts the resplendent future ofits Mechanical Engineering, especially the manufacture, and it is our beliefthat this day will come soon. On the other hand, there are so many experiencedtechnicians in China, however, with the absence of advanced experts manyadvanced producing method cannot be used in practical yield. When I worked asintern in some factories, I found that most of them were still using facilitieswhich were used in America about thirty years ago. Therefore I want to use theadvanced knowledge earned in United States, combined with my acquaintance withChina, to improve the present situation and apply best the advanced scientifictechnology to practical social wealth as soon as possible. I hope to become asuccessful researcher in Mechanical Engineering, the arduous but exhilarativefield. The significant progress achieved in M.E, with the extraordinary culturaland intellectual sources in your university, has attracted me greatly. Based onthe study and the research experience in _ University, I am sure that I amqualified and would be an outstanding Ph.D. student. With the advanced courses,balanced program and distinguished faculty of your department, I would get asolid background for my future academic career.
Yours sincerely,
