I am applying for the long term Chinese Course at the University of Chengdu for these reasons. I have learning Chinese by myself for 3 years in France. This language, culture and country have become a great passion for me. I spend a lot of time each day to continue to improve my Chinese level and my knowledge about China. This year, in January, I went to Beijing to follow a three months language course. I have discovered the pleasure to learn in class group with other students, sharing our knowledge and our passion. During these laps of time, I have discovered an extraordinary country, people, culture, so it has convinced me to change my personal and professional plan. Graduated in 2014 at the University of Dijon, I have obtained a Master’s Degree in Compturer Sciences. Then, I have worked for 2 years and half in France as a Software Engineer for the company Sopra-Steria and Solutec. After my travel in China this year, I have decided to transform my passion about the Chinese language and culture into a professional and personal target. My goal in the future is to be able to work in China. My actual level in Chinese is between Hsk4 and Hsk5, this level is not enough to work in good conditions in China, so I have decided to return to the University to increase my level. The Chengdu University Long term Chinese course is very interesting for me, because the University provide very good conditions to learn through The Programm Structure, the city and the University accommodation. My motivation is extremely high to integrate this course, it will be the occasion for me to realize my projects and bring to your University a very motivated student, serious and always optimistic. I hope you will consider favorably my application. Florian LE MOUEL
