As the only child in my family, I realized the importance of communication very early. I was eager to make friends, shared my thoughts with them and at mean time listened to theirs. I believed that people and other creatures living in this world were afraid of loneliness, and communication just helped us feel warm, safe, happy and smart.

While, during the first class of the communication theory in XXX University, when teacher said communication is not only a mutual behavior between individuals but also an interactive message sending-receiving procedure between social systems, involving many kinds of humanities, I was deeply impressed and became very interested. I realized what I took the meaning of communication for granted since the childhood was so narrow and limited.

I became a part-timer at the Sports Channel, China Central TV two years ago. Now having experienced various jobs in broadcasting field, I find that mastering the interviewees' information like characteristics, and backgrounds of the stories beforehand are very essential. These information could be a preparation for effective communication, which greatly help journalists have good previsions of interviewees' feelings so that to say right subject at the right time.

I still remember when firstly worked as a journalist in CCTV during the 1st World-cup Wushu Sanshou Competition, I faced a very difficult problem. I had to interview the athletes from Egypt before the match to make a video introduction for the next day. However, since it was already 5 p.m., time was very limited. What's even worse was that these Egyptian athletes only arrived in China for an hour, let alone they didn't look friendly at all, thus coming over straightly to ask for an interview was not a good idea. I suddenly remembered there would be a welcome feast at 8 p.m., and no time could be better for me than that, for everyone would be relaxed and happy when having a wonderful dinner. As the result of my flash inspiration, I made acquaintance with them in the dinner. However, in order not to bother them much, I didn't mention my intended interview at first, but changed the subject to talk about Egypt, and introduced them about China. Because my preparing knowledge of Egypt, we had a very pleasant conversation, and at last they agreed to accept my interview after dinner even though they were tired and would face tough competitions the next day. More touchingly was that when the game was over, they gave me a very beautiful postcard as a souvenir. In that interview Just because I used effective communication skills to handle my problems, I finally got what I wanted, and more I made new friends.

During my third and forth college year, I interned as a photojournalist in Xinhua News Agency. Here I had abundant opportunities to know communication from a very different angle-using camera to record what I saw and communicating with people silently but deeply via photos. I was very exciting with this special communication way. And meanwhile I found different from what many academic books said that news photos record images objectively, photojournalists actually always take pictures subjectively, using light, big or clear images, certain angles or typical moments to attract people's eyes and influence their thinking ways. As a result of this experience, I read extensively in communication and journalism works, and specially wrote a paper to research and express my opinion on subjectivity and objectivity in the news communication.

I always feel that I'm very lucky to study in the Journalism Department of XXX University, and to work at CCTV as well as Xinhua News Agency. First because the best school and the best working places of the country let me have precious chances to know communication comprehensively. Yet more importantly, through four-year painstaking study and two-year working experience, I become fascinated to the dramatic effects caused by communication and am eager to study clearly why and how all these happen. I make up my life goal to be an excellent scholar in communication and devote myself to the communication career.

However, I know very well if I want to touch my goal, I need to acquire advanced theories and technologies in the field. China haven't got dynamic communication study yet, and many of its theories are obsolete, therefore I want to pursue my Master then Ph.D. degree in the Communication Department in your school. Admittedly, the United States is the avant-garde in studying communication; a mature researching methodology has already been set up systematically. But in particular, I am deeply impressed by your school's renowned communication education, and the carefully designed courses emphasizing both practice and theory are just what I want.

During my graduate study, I plan to focus my study in mass communication, and I also want to learn communication history and advanced communication theories. "What changes has the hi-tech tools brought to the people in the communication procedures? Where will the mass media head to in the future?" etc. are questions I want to find answers. Besides, I want to study Internet, because although Internet is a newborn media, it is very flourishing. Internet influences the traditional mass communication and its future is full of suspension, so intensive study about it is absolutely essential. I strongly feel your unique course will provide me the chances to learn it more.

I also expect to participate in the class discussions in your university. I want to share my knowledge of Chinese culture, professional experience in mass communication with other students of the class, and discuss communication issues with them together.

I'm ready to put my heart and soul in the graduate study in your school. I believe your comprehensive education and my own effort will help me touch my goal.
Thank you very much for your time. Please consider me as a candidate. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
