motivation letter 1 Dear professor, My name is Heibin Cheng, a third-year graduate student majoring in Geological Engineering at Guizhou University. During my undergraduate education, I mainly studied Civil Engineering in Wuyi University. I plan to further study the PhD program of Geotechnical Engineering of your esteemed Technical University of Catalonia. During previous three years’ study, I was diligent and conscientious at my courses and I developed my own way of learning. Apart from studying major courses, I had take part in the research of laboratory physical model of rockfall runout distance and my dissertation topic is The Influence of Fine Grain Content on Gravel Soil Shear Strength in GuiZhou Karst Area. To Conduct research, I have done some rock and soil tests which needs a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, especially, the big-scale shear test. Although the progress of test is full of hardships, I do enjoy its difficulties. In my opinion, although those research areas I focus on are basic research, it are no doubt that they play an instructive role in Geotechnical Engineering, including the stability of rock masses and soil, the slope treatment, the tunnel stability, highway engineering and so forth. From these research experiences, I clearly understand that my research interest lies in Geotechnical Engineering and I have decided to further study these related areas. Geotechnical Engineering in UPC based on a set of prominent and well balanced lectures that not only promote individual professional skills and cultivate their ability but also their creativity, management level and shape attitude. I think I can get more professional knowledge than I can get inland and extend my knowledge fields to enhance my competitive strength.

these last days These last days I was busy installing the equipment about grand soil experiment. Actually, I would like to say it is a challengeable task for me and I believed that I could not finish the task by myself. I therefore asked helps from people around me. Fortunately, I eventually found two friends who can be willing to help me. Then, we made plans and started gradually completing the task we set. From the whole process, the thing was not always as much complicated as we thought and just persisting in doing it. Meanwhile, I had gotten much more confidences from the process, and I believe that i could be more competent to control or do similar jobs or even more challengeable jobs. it is true fact that I could not finish the whole installation without the help of them. Now I feel thankful for them and I have to say that a friend in need is a friend in deed.

young people are richer,safer and healthier than before, but they are less happy.causes and solution peoples living conditions have seen great chances because of the advent of advanced technology and the development of society. However, it is an unnormal phenomenon that young peoples happiness is reducing, although young people are experiencing higher living standard than ever before. What will be discussed are the reasons caused by this phenomenon and how to deal with it. One of main reasons is that there is much evidence that peoples happiness does not mainly depend on how much what they have and how rich they are. Instead, it comes from their inner heart and self-satisfaction. Therefore, it is easy to conclude, that young people have much more money or have better physical conditions than in the past does not imply that they will gain or possess more happiness than ever before. Another main reason is that there is no doubt that our living standard has been greatly improved, leading to most young people can have higher living quality and improved medical care. But it should be notice that those from countryside or remote areas might cannot have equal access to those benefits given by high living quality, they will become jealous to their peers who possess many stuffs that they have not. Besides, those who have owned substances will be envy of people who have much more or better stuffs than theirs. Both those might feel unhappy when they realize that this is true reality. As shown above, one can conclude that peoples happiness is connected to their inner heart not external substances. Besides, peoples jealous have an bad effects on their happiness. That is why young people feel less happy. To solve this problem, the intervention of governments is highly required. More funds given by governments should be invested in the research on the fields of happiness. And then the results of finding should be translated into rules or articles so that it is convenient for young people to understand what is happiness. parental instructions are also recommended. In daily life, parents should help young people to establish a wholesome outlook of life and values.

some people asy watching tv is bad for children in all ways. give your opinion With the popularity of TV, watching TV, as a kind of entertainment, has become a habit for people and affected peoples daily lives. When the influence of watching TV on people is undisputed, an issue of debate whether watching TV is beneficial for children to access to knowledge. I am of opinion that children can get knowledge from watching a variety of TV programs. There is no doubt that most of TV programs, like talk shows, historical documentaries, entertainment shows, sports news, political news and so forth are educational and meaningful, which is essential for children to gain knowledge and broad their horizon as well. Take historical documentaries for example, young students do can learn historical knowledge from traditional classes, but it is difficult for them to master or understand some abstract historical culture and art through just the teaching in traditional classes. Now watching historical documentaries might be a best way to help them with understanding those arbitrary areas. It is one of main reasons why multimedia has been introduced into our traditional classes. Watching TV has long been regarded as a form of relaxation. When children feel frustrated or unhappy for failing to exams, or they are under high pressure for tons of homework, for them, watching TV can not only help them get rid of pressure and frustration so that they can continue to study efficiently, but also improve more or less knowledge which is related to all fields of our daily lives. Despite those benefits, it should be noted that children might be addicted to watching TV. Besides, the screen of TV would be bad for their eyesight, especially when children sit in front of TV for hours in succession. However, those problems caused by watching TV can be solved by the management of parents. From what have been discussed, one can conclude that watching TV not only is good for children to get knowledge, but also provide them with a way to relax themselves. What is more, the bad effects of watching TV on children can be controlled by their parents.

whether schools are supposed to choose pupils according to their academic abilities or various Elementary education, a cornerstone of middle education, plays an important role in people’s academic life. When the value of elementary education is undisputed, an issue of debate is whether schools are supposed to choose pupils according to their academic abilities or various different abilities. I am of opinion that putting pupils with a variety of abilities study together is beneficial for the all round development of students. People who argue pupils should be chosen according to their academic abilities are sticking to an ingrained concept that the goal of education is only to develop students’ academic abilities, given by our traditional education, and have overlooked the importance of other qualities and abilities to pupils, such as, good at sports, strengths in dance and music, adaptability, the ability to organize a wide range of activities ,and so forth. there a growing recognition that pupils with high academic abilities are no longer sought-after as much as before. Instead, pupils with comprehensive abilities are highly needed in their further education. Especially in this fast changing and competitive society, where pupils are viewed as the sole hope of the country’ future, it is necessary that pupils are equipped with comprehensive abilities. Therefore, a qualified school should be fill with students with different abilities. There is evidence that a environment, an indispensable factor, can have influences on one’s characters and abilities. No doubt, putting pupils into student groups full of a variety of abilities contribute to the enhancement of their other abilities, such as, communication skill, which make them to be over round individual. In contrast, other students’ academic skill can be increased with the help of students with high academic abilities. As shown above, one can conclude that schools should take other abilities, such as strengths in dance and music, good at physical activities, into consideration in selecting pupils, although academic skills are of importance to the pupils’ study.
