Dear Professor,
My name is xxx, a high school of 20xx from xxx High School.
I have been yearning to study in the University of Hong Kong for a long time.
First of all, the international environment attracts me the most.
With the suitable background that the University of Hong Kong offers, I will be able to absorb different cultures and ideas from different country and improve my English level swiftly which are comparatively impracticable in the universities of the mainland.
Secondly, many colleges of the University of Hong Kong are global-recognized which approve students’ academic research enlargement stretching into a new era.
Thirdly, the University of Hong Kong shows respect to students by offering high teaching qualities with abundant excellent teachers all over the world.
In a word, the University of Hong Kong fits my evaluation standard in all rounds.
However, I’m now wondering whether I could reach the level that you suggest.
In the aspect of learning, I entered the best class of my school with good scores showing the studying achievement of my first high school year and keep stable nice scores till now.
Besides in-class knowledge, I also won two national physical prizes and one national Chinese writing contest.
I also took part in many activities during the past two years, such as singing competitions, debate contests, poster painting, etc.
But the most fatal disadvantages of me is that I haven’t read many books in English, which may prevent me from acquiring information in a high speed.
But I believe I will go through all the hardship and prove my choice’s profound value by action.
