Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a girl of seventeen. What I'd like to say first of all is that I have been longing to be admitted into Tongji University since my childhood, for it is the best university in which one can study architecture.
I've been interested in science and engineering, especially architecture since I was about five. I began learning painting at ten, and I've visited many beautifulcities including Beijing and Qingdao to see the typical ancient or western buildings.
As one of the fans of Bei Yuming (貝聿銘) , I appreciate his famous designs andvisited his latest works, Suzhou Museum. My ambition is to become an architectlike him. To realize my dream, I study hard and all my examination records areamong the best. I've got some prizes in my hobbies, watercolor painting andswimming, and as an athlete, I'm healthy enough to face the toughest task in the university.
Surely I am among the best candidates,and I hope you will be so kind as toconsider my application. Thanks,
Yours truly
Huang Lei
