Dear Ms. Johnson

I got much information about this Translation and Interpretation Program from the official website of the Montery Institute of International Studies. I am genuinely interested in it, and believe that my education and experience are eligible for the position.

It is indicated that candidates are required to have language proficiency and standardized test scores. These are demonstrated by my high scores in IELTS test during my freshman year and I also received high commendation from my lecturers. I also have extensive experience in hosting public events, such as the New Year Celebration of the Translation and Interpretation Faculty in Wuhan University. This has given me an invaluable opportunity to present myself in public venues. Thus I am sure my public speaking skills will meet your demands.

Furthermore, I was an exchange student at the National University of Singapore in 2013, where I had many opportunities to interact with the professors and local students in English and discuss about contemporary social issues. Another thing worth emphasizing is that my communication skills are also polished up because of my study in NUS. This experience allows me to become a more mature and analytical person.

I look forward to talking with you about this opportunity. It will be my great pleasure if I can have the chance to study in MIIS and try to “be the solution”. Please feel free to contact me at 13163273481 or gelinna0304@gmail.com should you need additional information.

Thank you very kindly for your consideration.

 

Yours sincerely

Cold War among Girls

After reading the blog assignment, I immediately came up with a very typical interpersonal conflict, which occurred in my dormitory life when I was at my home university. To narrate the story more concisely, I would like to make some adaptations.

There are four girls living in the same dorm, Alison, Bonnie, Cathy and Dian. We can call them A, B, C and D, who became very close friends in the first semester. It seemed that the four girls were in harmony but actually there did exist some problems. A started to pour a lot of complaints on RenRen (the Chinese version of Facebook) since the second semester: “My roommates are always trying hard to lose weight. What’s wrong with them?” “I never make noise when you are doing your stuff but you guys never care about me. ” B, C and D felt really angry about A’s behaviour but they decided to pretend not seeing those complaints and keep showing kindness to A so that their relationship would not be awkward. But one day A posted a complaint which was really malicious. B could not tolerate any more so she questioned A on why she was so resentful of the others. A was angry about B’s interrogate and later never talked to B any more. The four girls split into two sides, one is A, the other is B, C, and D, and then the cold war started.

According to my analysis, the lack of efficient communication is the main cause of the problem. I believe every dormitory will more or less have some internal problems. Alison chose to complain in RenRen rather than talk to the other girls when she felt dissatisfied with them. Maybe it is because she thought it was embarrassing to unveil her dissatisfaction by conversations. So she tried to arouse their attention by RenRen. The other girls pretended not to notice the problem in order to keep harmony. Perhaps they believed they’d better not to bother and make the dormitory atmosphere awkward. I think they could have handled this problem in an earlier state if four of them had a heart-to-heart talk and enhance mutual understanding.

Since their relationship has already worsened, I suggest they write e-mails to each other and confess their true feelings and thoughts if it is really embarrassing to talk about the problem face- to- face. Then here is my question for you now: Do you think it was right for B to interrogate to A’s face?
