荷蘭大學留學申請書
Dear _,
Acclaimed as a prodigy, I entered into one of China’s Ivy League universities at 14 and joined the country’s topmost scientific research institution as a graduate student at 19. Now an experienced engineer at 26, I would like to scale still higher intellectual heights by undertaking advanced studies that I hope would put me firmly on the cutting edge of scientific development.
I have demonstrated a keen mind since my early childhood. For years, I consistently outperformed all of my classmates in such challenging subjects as mathematics, physics and chemistry. I was thus chosen to represent either my school or my city in a variety of provincial and national contests of academic skills, in which I won numerous prizes. This impressive academic record put me on academic acceleration several times. That not only enabled me to finish my primary and secondary education in eight instead of the usual twelve years but also sent me at 14 to a privileged class for the gifted at the Chinese University of Science and Technology, a major cradle of the country’s scientific and technological talents.
After two years of basic training in the gifted class, I chose electrical engineering as my major and computer software programming as my minor, convinced that expertise in these fields would stand me in good stead in an era of China’s rapid economic expansion and technological modernization. As you can see from the transcripts of my undergraduate grades, I excelled in both of these areas.
Upon graduation in 1991, I won easy acceptance into the Institute of Electronics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and became a graduate student at 19, when most Chinese students would be just starting their university education. At this institute, I narrowed my academic interest down and focused it on the area of human and artificial intelligence, where the courses I took were deliberately concentrated. It seemed to me that scientific breakthroughs would next come in this area, which made it both challenging and promising. I learned a whole lot about this area in the course if doing my thesis titled “The Radio Shunting System in Railroad”, for which some experiments were conducted on the basis of artificial intelligence.
My solid education paid off in my ability to take on a variety of responsibilities in China’s burgeoning software industry. After I obtained my Master’s Degree in Engineering in 1994, I first took up a job with a telecommunication company, where I managed a trunk communication system that resembled the cellular wireless system. A year later, I joined a software company to develop CMIS program for China’s Post and Telecommunications Ministry. It was a large project, and I made crucial contribution to it by independently developing and finalizing one subsystem, which proved to be a significant success and won me profuse appreciation from users. After the completion of that project, I have been working for the Japan Brother Ltd. in the area of software development.
The relative smooth path of my career notwithstanding, I have not had a chance to lead a major project, although I have always finished my part of every project immaculately. In spite of all my achievements, I feel that I have not taken the full advantages of my intellectual capabilities. I now wish to pursue still more advanced studies and thereby obtain an advanced degree so that I can open more doors and shoulder greater responsibilities.
I believe I have acquired the necessary theoretical framework and sufficient practical experience for further studies. My ability to teach myself and conduct independent research allows me to attain competence quickly in areas that I may at first know very little about. I never work just to finish an assignment, but instead I always try conscientiously to improve my knowledge and expertise through the work I do. In this fashion, I have become seasoned in such fields as trunking system (telecommunications) and CMIS system (software). This quality should help me as I seek to further upgrade my education, particularly if I have ready access to the seasoned guidance of a strong faculty and the convenience of state-of-the-art research facilities.
The University of Idaho is well known for its excellence in the E. E field, complete with an accomplished faculty and modern research resources. These should set a good stage for me to exercise my keen mental power and diligence. If I am accepted, I am confident that I can make quick progress in the E. E field, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence, image processing, wireless communication, neural network and computer networking, which have many characteristics in common and share many important principles. Due to the broad applications of these technologies, I believe the progress we make in these areas will help shape the future of the mankind. I would like t be at the forefront of such progress.
As I am broadly grounded in EE and computer science, you may find me qualified or more qualified for advanced studies in areas other than those I have mentioned. If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know any suggestions that you may have.
I wish to assure you that I have the necessary English language skills to complete advanced studies in your Ph. D. program. I generally read or write English without any difficulty. I have, over the years, not only read academic or professional materials in English avidly but also memorized the whole English-Chinese dictionary. There may be room for improvement in my oral English and English listening comprehension. But I am sure my English proficiency is sufficient for me to undertake advanced studies and research. Besides, I believe I can improve my oral English by leaps and bounds once I start to live in an English-speaking environment. All that I need to do is to set my mind free.
I plan to return to China after the completion of my Ph. D. studies either to teach at one of the larger Chinese universities or to lead a high-tech corporation.
Yours sincerely,
xuexila
荷蘭留學要知道的生活常識
一、穿著
荷蘭的天氣不像國內的天氣一樣，國內的天氣冬天很冷，都恨不得裹上一層厚厚的一層棉被，荷蘭的冬天平均氣溫還是比較暖和的，氣溫在2攝氏度左右，可以穿羽絨服或者是大衣，防風性能要比較好的外套;國內夏天很炎熱，時時刻刻待在空調房里才舒服，荷蘭夏季氣溫比較適宜，平均氣溫也就20來攝氏度，一般選擇來荷蘭旅游，春夏季最為合適了，穿襯衫或是薄外套，有時候還會下起大雨，準備雨具是很有用的，平時可以穿休閑衣服、牛仔褲也可以，只要自己穿的舒適就行，除了工作或者是正式場合不用太講究的。
二、飲食
荷蘭的飲食時間和國內是一樣的，早餐時間七點到九點，中午十二點到一點，晚上五點半到七點，不過他們還有上午喝咖啡下午喝茶的習慣。荷蘭飲食習慣和歐洲其他國家是類似的，早餐吃面包、牛奶，中午也差不多是面包、牛奶再加一個湯或者是吃小吃，晚餐就比較豐富了，主食肉類，還有蔬菜、土豆等。如果在荷蘭留學不習慣這里的飲食，可以選擇自己做飯吃，按照自己的習慣來。
三、住房
在荷蘭租房，政府提供低房租的福利，還有住房補貼，但這只是對在荷蘭居住時間長的人才提供的，一般留學生是可以申請租房的，房間設施是比較齊全的。你也可以租學生宿舍，價格根據房間大小和配套設施來定的。荷蘭的環(huán)境，空氣質量好，綠化也不錯，有的還有小花園，特色的就是基本每面墻都帶有一面窗戶。
四、交通
在荷蘭，出門一般都是坐火車，但是坐的時間比較長，在這里，最多的就是騎自行車，荷蘭是自行車王國，有專門的自行車紅綠燈，自行車出門是非常方便的，也可以帶上火車，如果是折疊的自然就更好了。巴士和電車的票價很高，可以選擇買月票或者是年票會便宜一些。
荷蘭留學選擇學校指南
一、從專業(yè)著手選擇學校
盡管有許多院?？晒┻x擇，但每個高校所提供的項目有所不同。到目前為止，荷蘭院校大多數課程仍然是荷蘭語授課，所以各個學校的英文授課專業(yè)往往是該校的學科。所以應根據自己已確定的專業(yè)方向，在眾多的學校中選出提供自己所需專業(yè)的學校。
二、全面比較，敲定學校
對于不同學校的選擇應著重考慮以下幾點：
1.瀏覽網頁，確認學術重點。不同的學校在相同領域的研究程度不同，有的專業(yè)對于學校來說是招牌，而有的學校盡管開設了某個專業(yè)但只是為了達到合格綜合性大學的最基本要求。所以，通過瀏覽校方原始網站，了解所開設的課程，實習的時間段和是否能夠赴美加進行交換學習等，來進一步選擇。
2.同級別的學校，可以從所在城市來選擇。若通過a的方式，仍有兩所以上的選擇可能，那么就要通過你對學校所在城市的興趣來決定。所謂興趣一方面指你對這個城市的文化特征的喜愛，另一方面就要根據自己的經濟條件來考慮這個城市是否有機會打工來決定。由于荷蘭是典型的歐洲國家，所以大城市和中小城市在繁榮程度上有很大的差別，荷蘭的四大城市分別為阿姆斯特丹、鹿特丹、海牙和烏特列支。對于在荷蘭學習時間在3-4年的學生，一定要選擇位于大城市的院校，否則會非常被動。
三、對于專業(yè)選擇
有很多中國留學生出國留學有一定的盲目性，在過去的一段時間當中，我們發(fā)現在我們選送的多名學生當中，有很大一部分學生在抵達荷蘭之后，尤其是經過第一年的學習后，提出換專業(yè)。對于學生來講就等于這一年的時間和費用白搭了，損失非常大。所以出國前審選專業(yè)非常重要，應該說是出國留學最至關重要的一點。
建議從以下幾點著手：
1.從今后就業(yè)著眼:學習結束就會面臨就業(yè)，這是每一個學生畢業(yè)后最棘手的問題，那么影響就業(yè)的因素之一就是專業(yè)，所以理性預期就業(yè)市場，就可以正確選擇專業(yè)。有時，一切要從現實出發(fā)。
2.性格:有些專業(yè)對性格有一定的要求，依據自身性格選擇專業(yè)同樣非常重要。例如有些專業(yè)非常注重溝通，如果你是個很內向的人，那就不要選擇這種專業(yè)學習。
3.愛好:從個人愛好的角度來選擇專業(yè)，在出國留學生中占了很大比例。例如有的學生對數字非常敏感，有良好的數學基礎，那么他就會選擇統(tǒng)計這類專業(yè);有的學生喜歡在市場中搏擊，又具備一定的策劃能力，那么他就會選擇市場營銷一類的專業(yè)。
4.行業(yè)的生命力:有些專業(yè)出來的行業(yè)，屬于夕陽產業(yè)，是不可選的;只有專業(yè)畢業(yè)后，該行業(yè)是朝陽產業(yè)，今后才有發(fā)展。所以，選擇學校和專業(yè)是一門邏輯性極強的學問，應該綜合起來分析，全面把握。
