I AM CHOOSING NINGBO UNIVERSITY BECAUSE OF ITS GOOD REPUTATION AND HARD WORK AND ALSO BECAUSE IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY FOREIGN STUDENTS IN CHINA. ALSO, NINGBO UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN KNOWN TO OFFER SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS ENABLE THEM PURSUE THEIR EDUCATION AND AS A FEMALE FROM AN AFRICAN COUNTRY LIKE GHANA, GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY IN SUCH A PRESTIGIOUS UNIVERSITY WOULD BRING HONOR TO ME AND HELP ME PURSUE MY DREAM OF LEARNING CHINESE LANGUAGE AND EVENTUALLY TEACHING IT IN MY HOME COUNTRY, GHANA. I ALSO CHOSE THIS UNIVERSITY BECAUSE OF ITS SERENE AND BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT AND SCENERY. I BELIEVE THIS WILL ENABLE ME TO EXPERIENCE CHINESE CULTURE AND UNDERSTANDING THEIR LANGUAGE BETTER.
