Dear Mr L. Rafael Reif:

I am now a postgraduate student in mainland of China, my major is Civil Engineering. I plan to apply a further degree on this field, and I am very interested by MassaChuset

-ts Institute of Technology and your . program. Then I search online and find that it is more convenient and suitable for me to go to America for study.

First, America is a multicultural country, which has the most advanced education in the world. Second, the tuition is lower than other countries’, which I think is more reasonable for me. Finally, the climate of there is similar with the climate of the North of China. Considering above reasons, I told my parents my plan on going to America for study, and my parents agreed with me.

As a boy, I like Civil Engineering professional since I was young. Nowadays, Chinese construction field behind the other countries, I will go back China and work hard on Civil Engineering professional after finishing . programs.

My plan is as follows: first, I plan to study English in language institute for about a half year in American. And then, I will study specialized curriculums on Civil Engineering aspects.

I believe I have the ability of study abroad, because I have finished Civil Engineering aspects of graduate course. Besides, my parents both have job and have rich income, so they will support me to finish my study. After finishing my study, I will return to my homeland and work on Civil Engineering field ,so as to realize the value of my life.

I look forward to your early reply.

Yours sincerely
