This university has an excellent intensive course. I could learn more than in the other universities. Also great reviews that I read encouraged to undertake studies at this University. My Chinese teacher strongly recommend me Semester Chinese Language Program in Shanghai International Studies University and my friend, she was studying there from Confucius Institute Scholarship . I also have a good health. Besides learning Chinese and travelling, running is also my hobby. I ran two marathons and 9 halfmarathons in Poland. If I have a chance to study in Shanghai International Studies University I am going to take part in Shanghai International Marathon. I had a great oportunity to spend a month in China (Beijin 2015-12), now I think it is one of the most amazing country I have ever visited. In Poland I study chinese language and during this trip I had a chance to improved my language skills, discovered the most beautiful and the fastest growing economy and country in the world. Now I would like to spend semester in Shanghai, because I want to discover as many cities as possible and continue learning chinese in one of the best university in China. I am sure that with the best Teachers, a lot of Chinese language classes and my huge motivation to study I will seize the opportunity and make fast progress.
