Since I was a little boy, I have been fascinated by the Hollywood movies, American TV series. Garrison’s Gorillas and Hunter represented part of my memories of happy childhood.
Later on Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park and Green days refined my taste in pop and rock music. I always wonder why the American cultures are so popular, why Democracy in the states prevails while in some countries it never works?
I want to find my own answer. Then I began to read the famous De la démocratie en Amérique written by a French aristocrat. I wasn’t satisfied on Tocqueville’s conclusions of course.
I never got a chance to study or tour in the US. But I talked to the Americans economist, Canadians law student, and those Europeans who have been to the States, whenever I can. I observed and recorded the society and people when I studied in France and did the internship in an UN agency in Rome. I felt the difference from the bottom of my heart. I made friends with all walks of lives from all around the world.
I distributed breads and fruits for the homeless guy near Piazza Venezia with my Italian brother, I discussed about the belief of democracy with a French colleague who graduated from Science Po, I shared my opinion of Sino-Japanese relations with a Japanese girl, I did a stand-up show named Europe through a Chinese boy’s eyes in an underground bar facing tens of tourists. Besides, I am not satisfied with what I learned from old version textbooks, I want to see the world, feel the world by myself.
For this reason I have to come to HNC, where I can get excellent guidance from professors, where I can meet students from everywhere.
During my schooling time, economics and finance stood by me for too long, and now I need to broaden my visions.Therefore HNC will be a perfect place to expand my knowledge on Political Science ,International Relations and International Legal Structures.
At present I am a domestic government employee, dealing with International Financial Institutions’ loan and TA projects, being an international civil servant, working for an international organization, such as World Bank, and UN, is my dream, and hopefully one day I can fulfill my dream.
Thanks for your attention!
从我是一名小男孩开始，我就着迷于观看好莱坞电影和美剧。
加里森敢死队和神探亨特代表着我的部分美好童年回忆。
后来迈克尔·杰克逊，后街男孩，林肯公园和绿日乐队塑造了我对流行和摇滚乐的品味。
我总是想知道，为什么美国文化会如此流行，为什么民主在美国大行其道而在某些国家却根本玩不转?我想找到属于自己的答案。
然后我开始阅读由一名法国贵族所撰写的De la démocratie en Amérique(论美国的民主),当然我并不满足于托克维尔在书中做出的结论。
迄今为止，我从没有机会去美国大陆学习或者旅游，但我抓住一切机会与美国的经济学家，加拿大的法学院学生，以及那些曾涉足北美的欧洲人交谈。
无论是在法国学习期间还是在罗马的联合国机构实习期间，我一直在观察和记录着所处的社会以及周围的人群。
我从内心深处去体味中西文化的差异。
我与世界各地各行各业的人们交朋友，在威尼斯广场上我和意大利兄弟一起给无家可归的人分发面包和水果，在聚会时我与巴黎政治学院毕业的法国同事讨论对民主的信仰。
我向日本女孩筱原萌子分享我对中日关系的看法(尽管我丝毫不仇日，但我觉得日本是中国最大的敌人)，我在罗马的地下酒吧里向几十名游客做了一次主题为“一名中国男孩眼中的欧洲”的`单口相声表演。
除此之外，我并不满足于自己从老旧的教科书上所得来的知识，我要用亲身去看，去感受这个世界。
正因为如此，我必须来到中美中心，在这儿我将得到教授们一流的指导，在这儿我可以遇到许多志同道合的朋友。
在大学和研究生时代，经济学和金融伴随了我太长时间，现在我应该扩展自己的知识面。
中美中心将是一个拓展政治学、国际关系和国际法领域知识的一个绝佳去处。
现在我为中国地方政府工作，管理国际金融组织贷款和技援赠款项目，而成为一名国际公务员，为世界银行和联合国那样的国际组织工作，一直是我的梦想。
希望有一天，中美可以帮助我实现这个梦想。
谢谢您的关注!

Dear Principal,
It gives me great honour to write to you. We met last month at your School Open Day, and at the time, my son / daughter, XXXX and I were impressed by the virtues your pupils presented and the academic excellence they maintained.
I also agree with your adoption of the cross-curriculum methodology to broaden pupils' horizon. Such nourishing environment has confirmed our decision to apply to your school.
XXXX shares the same view with full enthusiasm. He / She actively joins an array of enlightening courses that can equip him / her with essential knowledge, thus build up him / her confidence. I believe this initiative is the main reason that your pupils are always outstanding.
More encouragingly, my husband and I find my son / daughter has potent language ability, especially in reading English literature. This trait is exceptionally suited to your school's emphasis on language training.
We also recognize that your school is one of the few pioneers in establishing a parents' association, in which teachers coordinate seasonable activities to foster a harmonious relationship between the school board and parents.
Their commitment and consideration again makes us feel that we can count on your school to nurture wholesome development of our children.
We are now more convinced than ever that (school name) is our ultimate choice. In the meantime, I am enclosing XXXX's achievement portfolio, which explains further why him / her qualities would make a good addition to your school. Thank you for letting us know that primary school life can be that fruitful and enjoyable.
Yours faithfully,
(Parent's name)
