Dear Mr. Tsukasa Takahashi
Application For the Summer Internship: Research of Quantum dot sensor device
I am writing to apply for the summer internship research opportunity on the quantum dot sensor device. I learnt about this internship opportunity from an email sent by the Office of Undergraduate Programs Dean's Office, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore.
My name is Wu Xudong and I am currently an undergraduate year 2 student majoring in Computer Engineering. The Computer Engineering coursework is a joint programme encompassing both fields of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and I am equipped with the essential skills of using LabView for data analysis, which are requirements for this research project. The reason why I am applying is because I am interested in the field of quantum physics. From my first encounter learning about quantum physics, I have been awed by its ability to use science to explain the abstract, and I would like to pursue a deeper knowledge in this intellectually challenging field.
Conducting research requires patience, problem-solving and analytical skills. These are traits that my training in computer engineering has provided me, through time spent in debugging for circuits and programming. My coursework modules such as Circuits and Systems Design Lab, also provides me with a strong background in analytical skills through data analysis to draw conclusions and determine causes of experimental errors. Outside of school curriculum, my experience in directing a large-scale drama production has been an experience that reinforced my leadership abilities to unite a crew and overcome obstacles to ensure a smooth-running of the production.
Imperatively, I have maintained a good academic record (GPA: 4.5 out of 5.0). That is a reflection of my commitment to and strong foundation in my coursework. My two-year study abroad programme in National University of Singapore has transformed me to become an individual who embraces transculturalism and adapts easily to new environments. In addition, my training in basic conversational Japanese is an asset for me should I work in Japan
Attached is a copy of my resume, which includes further details on my qualifications. If you need any clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact me through email a0091842@nus.edu.sg or by phone at +65 93200821.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely
Wu Xudong (Mr.)
Hi Xudong:
回复删除I think the "from an email sent by OUP, Dean's Office, FoE, NUS" can be shortene to "....internship oppotunity from an internal National University of Singapore circular". @ the rest, do correct me if I'm wrong on this.
I'm not too sure whether it's redundant to write your name in your second para: "My name is Wu Xudong and I....".
"My coursework modules such.....Design lab, also PROVIDE me..", plural verb from modules.
"Outside of THE school curriculum, my experience in directing a large-scale drama production has reinforced my leadership abilities to ...." I think the whole middle part of the sentence might be redundant since u mentioned experience, and repeated it again.
I'm not too sure whether "Imperatively" is a good word to use here: I haven't it seen it used in this manner before.
"...contact me through email AT _____ or by phone..." I think you missed out an "at" word.
In general your command of English is pretty decent judging from the above application letter. Good work there.
