LETTER OF MOTIVATION Dreams open the door of the future, and perseverance makes them come true.
My intense interest now is civil engineering, a subject that combines engineering science with construction technology and social value.It provides me with a good opportunity to expre my idea, display my creativity.And at the same time I obtain from it the pleasure of study and immense satisfaction.I hope I will become a prominent engineer or a talent of management in this field someday.
It seems to me that there are two major branches in the future of civil engineering.One is the microcosmic theory of materials, which will lead to the development of analysis methods and structure materials.The other is the design and construction of huge architectures, such as super-high-rise buildings and super-span bridges.And I prefer the latter.
With the development of the society, more and more high-level civil engineers are needed in our country.In order to make full use of my talent in this field and to participate in the construction of our country, I have been feeling the strong desire to seek advanced study in France in order to better prepare myself for the challenges ahead.
And it’s not groundle that I choose your university to further my education.What I am pursuing is “to be the best”, and this motto of mine manifests my characteristics and ambitions as well.One year ago,I made a good starting academically by entering Xi’an Jiaotong University, one of the best engineering university in China.And now I’d like to enter your university to continue my pursuit.The motive behind it is obvious:France is famous for its exoteric education system, relatively lower life expenses compared with other developed countries, and above all, the world’s leading status in many fields especially in Architecture.Group des Ecoles Centrales, a distinction of French engineering education, has exceptional advantages of bringing up talented personnel.Ever since I entered college I have been following the development of civil engineering in a global sphere.Gradually I come to find that the France holds the leading position in this field, and your university is universally acknowledged for excellent teaching, rigorous scholastic studies and great scientific breakthroughs.
What’s more, you provided your students with easy acce to the best facilities, laboratory equipment and abundant opportunities to large enterprise for internship,which, in my opinion, leaves the students free space to fulfill their dreams and goals.
These advantages are so attractive that it is hardly resistible for any ambitious young scholar like me who is thirsty for knowledge and eager to see his dream come true.
In brief, I desire to study at your university, aspire to do my bit for you and for my country in the near future——if I could be fortunately enrolled.
I would appreciated it if you could take my application into favorable consideration.And I’m greatly convinced that I will be excellent in the field of civil engineering.
