新东方留学文书\留学申请\03最初的联系信

最初的联系信

千里之行，始于足下。要申请留学，这第一封联系信是必不可少的，其目的是要和国外大学建立联系，并向它们索取申请材料。一般来说，国外正规的大学接到这样的信都会给你回复的。就这一点来说，人家的习惯要好得多。申请资料主要由申请表格组成，但也包括对学校、院系和专业的介绍材料。只有得到了这些资料，你才能展开申请。

这封最初的联系信不必写得太长或太详细。这封信通常是由秘书或其他办事人员来处理的，你未来的教授一般不会看到，也不会成为你正式申请材料的一部分。你大可不必为这封信伤太多的脑筋。内容上，一要表明你计划攻读的学位和专业，一要简单介绍一下你的背景和资历，以说明你为什么有资格攻读你想攻读的学位和专业。此信目的是要国外学校对你产生兴趣，并把申请材料寄给你。

这类最初的联系信函虽不可缺少，但并非是申请的关键。我们在软件中举了几个实例。

　　请注意这些信的格式，尤其是信头姓名、地址和信尾落款的书写方式。本章有意使用了不同的书信格式，供读者参考和仿效。但本节所展示的格式适用于其他信件。自己写信时到底使用哪种格式，可根据自己的爱好和习惯不拘一格，但最好以方便阅读为原则。

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a lecturer teaching video production at the Tsinghua University of China, one of the country's leading institutions of higher learning. I now wish to scale higher intellectual heights by pursuing advanced studies in a quality graduate program at an American university. Towards that end, I am writing to ask for a package of your application documents. Your timely assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I did my undergraduate studies at the Tsinghua University, where I now teach, and obtained a Master's Degree in 1996 at the Beijing Institute of Broadcasting, the best higher-learning institution of its kind in China. In the past two years, I have been serving as a popular teacher of television shooting and the making of documentary films. In this capacity, I have published a number of research papers concerning China's booming media industry.

As I try to ground myself more solidly in my teaching and research career, I need to broaden my vision and perspectives. Checking into the Peterson's Guide and other sources, I have found that your university offers the kind of graduate program that caters to my type of research interests. It is therefore hoped that this letter will start me off in a process that will lead to my enrolment in your program next year.

Yours sincerely

Jiao Dianshi

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a Chinese student due to graduate this year with a B.S. from the Computer Department of the Northern Industrial University, a distinguished higher-learning institution based in Beijing, China's capital. I would like to apply for acceptance into your graduate program so that I can further my training in my chosen field of studies. All your assistance will be highly appreciated.

I was born in 1976 in Liaoning, the country's most industrialized province, with a population of about 40 million. My education began in 1983 in my hometown Liaoyang's Nanlinzi Primary School. I did so well at Nanlinzi that I won admission in 1986 into the Liaoning Experiemental Primary School, which groups together the province's best and brightest children. It was at the Liaoning Experimental Primary School that I set out to learn computer programming with the BASIC language at only 11 years of age, which is quite unusual among Chinese children even today. In 1988, I moved on into the Liaoning Experimental Middle School, the cream of the province's high schools. In this middle school, I persevered in enhancing my computer expertise, which enabled me to win the championship at a contest of computer knowledge that involved all the high schools in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning.

My schooling at the province's best high school paid off in 1994. That year, I gained acceptance into the Northern Industrial University on the strength of my impressive grades in the highly competitive National University Entrance Examinations, which are held annually nationwide to screen high school graduates for university education. In the four years since, I have been receiving systematic and comprehensive training in computer science, taking courses ranging from discrete mathematics, fundamentals of combinatorics, introduction to mathematical logic, assembly language, C language, data structure, compiler design theory, operating system, computer architecture and organization, to fundamentals of computer networks.

本信较长，是个颇极端的例子。由于原作者坚持要写满一页，所以改后稿也甚长。其实这么多文字很可能浪费了。这样一封用于索取资料的信，目的仅是要对方对自己产生兴趣，然后把申请和介绍材料寄给自己。一般来说，这种信不必要太长，也不必太详细地介绍自己，更不必要设计与自己学术能力无关的内容。当然，也不要使用Dear Leadership这种话，听起来让人起鸡皮疙瘩。

Dear President and Leadership,

My name is Tai Changle, I will graduate from Computer Department of Chinese Northern Industrial University this year. I would like to apply for further study as graduate student at your University. I took forward to your permission and reply. Here is my resume as following:

Since September 1994, I became an undergraduate at the Northern Industrial University of China in Beijing.

When I was 11 years old, I began to study BASIC language programming. In middle school, I kept on studying computer knowledge in my spare time, and won a championship at the competition of computer knowledge in which the students from all excellent High Schools in Shenyang City took part.

In the last four years, I have learned the courses on computer systematically, including Discrete Mathematics, Fundamentals of Combinatorics Introduction to Mathematical Logic, Assembly Language, C Language, Data Structure, Compiler Design Theory, Operating System, Computer Architecture and Organization, Fundamentals of Computer Networks and So on.
