i have received your email, thank you for the tips, frank
Frank 23:27:39
sure
天 23:27:41
i am a little confused
Frank 23:27:49
about?
天 23:29:10
i have to write kinds of materials :
recommendation letter
personal statement
motivation letter
resume
Frank 23:29:46
you don't write the recommendation letter, someone should write that about you.
Frank 23:31:30
the motivation letter is similar to a Cover Letter, to go with your resume.
天 23:31:57
ok, i get it
Frank 23:32:00
the personel statement is the essay i gave you tips for.
天 23:34:11
i am afraid there are some repetitions in personal statement and resume. i cann't tell the differences
Frank 23:35:11
The resume just gives facts...what you did, when you did it, etc. the personal statement is where you show what kind of person you are, your character, etc.
Frank 23:35:40
have they given you any instructions?
天 23:36:20
not exactly. just show the applicants what materials to prepare
Frank 23:36:46
right
Frank 23:38:46
Your letter from Ping Xu says he is the vice president of China's army...is that true?
Frank 23:39:24
are you sure you translated that right?
天 23:41:30
no no ...i must write something wrong ...
he is just a vice president of an association of China's army in our university
Frank 23:42:01
ok, it seems to say he is the VP of the PLA...
天 23:43:25
how terrible... i will revise it..
thank you
Frank 23:44:33
ok
天 23:45:41
are there some serious logical mistakes ?
Frank 23:47:12
nothing too serious, just some grammar. grammar isn't too important for these letters, since you aren't supposed to write them and it should be in a different voice from your own.
天 23:50:20
i am writing other materials. can you also revise them for me ?
Frank 23:50:37
sure
天 23:52:16
thank you very much...
if there are something i can do for you, please tell me
Frank 23:52:30
haha its ok.
天 23:53:01
by the way, if you were me, which country do you prefer, Norway, Sweden of Finland ?
Frank 23:53:40
all would be a good place to visit.
天 0:02:31
wonderful
i am more interested in Sweden recently. if i can get the admission, you will be the first one to know the good news
Frank 0:03:01
hahah ok. good luck.
Frank 0:03:37
haha if you were a boy, i would say go to sweeden.
天 0:04:00
maybe i can guess the reason
Frank 0:04:27
haha sweedish girls are said to be pretty.
天 0:05:15
it is said there are the most beautiful girls in sweden
Frank 0:05:28
yeah
天 0:06:25
i choose there just because of the city stockholm
Frank 0:06:39
ah
天 0:08:04
but i am afraid i cann't go there. there are not suitable master programs for me
Frank 0:08:44
ah. well, you can always visit once you get to the other school. they are very close to each other.
天 0:09:46
perhaps i would go to Lund or Uppusala
Frank 0:10:22
well, i will do some reading. i'll talk to you late.
天 0:11:09
ok i continue to write the motivation letters
天 0:11:17
see you
Frank 0:11:31
haha ok. send it to me when you are done.
天 0:11:43
i will~~
天 1:38:55
the motivation letter drives me up the wall...i decide to have a bath and go to bed now
天 1:39:34
are you a night owl? ... good night frank
天 1:57:52
