Example
Example
I am a senior secondary student from China. I am especially interested in the news that your summer camp will be held in Singapore and that you welcome students from all over the world. I long to be a member of you. Thanks to years of English study, now I have a good command of English, which allows me to communicate with other students. Meanwhile, I have little difficulty adjusting to strange surroundings due to several experiences of outdoor activities.
About me
Interest or hobby I love reading, especially adventure stories, in which I can explore countless unknown world.
Reasons for joining the summer camp The main reason for my application is to improve myself not only in English but in cultural understanding. Besides, I also hope to help other participants learn more about China and fall in love with my country!
