International Student Essay

The relations between the representatives of various cultures , either social or economical grow stronger with each passing year due to the globalization . In my opinion , the opportunity to get to know the other cultures and lifestyles through communication with its representatives is invaluable , as no books , movies or reports about the chosen country can present such complete and accurate information , as people can

The circumstances were that China became the country were I got my first serious working experience , after graduating with a major in Chinese and English

from the acclaimed Daewon Foreign Language High School . I spent two years working in this country , and that was when I became interested in China , in the opportunities that the diverse and multiple populations of these state presents to the businessman , in the peculiarities and technologies of its fast-growing economy . That was when I felt that Chinese economics was growing , and I realized it had the potential for becoming the world 's biggest and most powerful one . It was than that I felt I was interested in establishing business relationships and working in that country

Considering these facts , I feel I would like to study with a person who grew up in China , in a state , whose social system and economy are very different from that in my country of origin . My opinion is that for to work successfully in a foreign country , you should be well acquainted with its language , cultural patterns , and the way of life , as they influence business directly . Communication with the person who spent his /her childhood and youth in the country of my interest would help me to have an insight into the specifics of life in China . Unfortunately in the present time I have little opportunities of practicing Chinese and studying with a person of Chinese origin would also improve my language skills

I believe that people can and , moreover , should study from each other share their experiences , as it is the most convenient way to get the most valuable practical knowledge . I hope that while studying in the University of Texas in Austin both my classmates and I will have a chance to benefit from communication with students with various cultural and academic backgrounds
