I studied Chinese for five years in school and I have always been interested in the Chinese language, literature and culture. I would like to expand my knowledge in Chinese language and use my current Chinese skills in real life. Over the last few months I've been looking for a suitable university to take part in a Chinese language and literature program and found that the Jiao Tong University is one of the best among the universities all over China. I've been in Shanghai two years ago and was enthusiastic about the city, the cultural places and the international atmosphere that I experienced. Therefore, I would be delighted if I could have the chance to take part in this program at Jiao Tong University.
