take required and elective courses, join

Long-term Goal |
work as an interpreter and translator,
work in a trading company |

emphasize intelligence, motivation, and
appreciation for the opportunity |

In the global village, being able to speak different languages is
the best way to help spread culture around the world. Among all the languages
of the world, Japanese is the one that I am most interested in, not only
because Japan is a highly developed country but because Japan has a great
influence on Taiwan. In addition, your department offers indepth courses in
modern and classical Japanese literature and also allows students to take
courses offered in other departments. A good foundation like this will offer me
a big step on the road to becoming an interpreter and translator and working in
a trading company. My goals are as follows:
Shortterm
Goal (from now to the beginning of school)
During these five months before school starts, I will work on my
Japanese proficiency by learning more vocabulary, reading Japanese novels, and
watching Japanese TV programs. I also plan to go on a working holiday in Japan
during the coming summer vacation. Whatever job I find, I will have the
opportunity to sharpen my Japanese and learn more about Japanese culture. Midterm Goal (four years in college)
After fulfilling the general education requirements, I plan to put
more effort into refining my skills in oral interpretation and translation.
Apart from the courses in the Japanese Department, I am going to take commerce
and business courses to improve my job prospects. As for extracurricular
activities, I am certainly going to join the Japanese Club to immerse myself as
deeply as I can in the living cultures of Japan.
Longterm
Goals (after graduation)
After graduation, I don’t plan to go directly into graduate school.
I plan to find a job in a Japanese company first. Hopefully, by this time my
spoken Japanese and commercial skills will be attractive to employers and can
afford me some chances for advancement in the job. In my free time, I will
continue to translate Japanese novels or TV programs on a parttime basis. I
will also like to try oral interpretation if I get the opportunity.

3. The solution occurred
to me because I happened to have a similar experience several months ago.
4. Such hi-tech products
as tablet computers and smartphones have now become this company's main
products due to increasing market demands.

My name is JiaLing Yang. I was born and
raised in
My
interests range from music and sports to reading and writing. Among these
interests, I am especially interested in the wonders of nature. When I was a
child, I like to ask questions about natural phenomena, such as the rainbow and
the dew. My father, who was a physics teacher, would explain to me with
patience. I was always listening attentively. Since I went to senior high school,
I have been even more fascinated with the mystery of nature. I joined many
activities observing and studying the nature. I also took part in scientific
competitions and won several prizes. I plan to major in physics in college. By
putting my heart into this field, I will be able to make a concrete
contribution to society while pursuing a topic that interests me greatly. After
graduation from college, I will continue with my studies. I believe that my
background, experience, determination, and effort will make me a good candidate
for NCTU. I do hope that I have the good luck to be granted admission.
