1、留学文书范文文学类SOP for English literatureSOP for English literatureFirst I would like to introduce myself as an undergraduate student of the bachelor of English literature from University of Isfahan one of the most prestigious universities in Iran.Majored in literary studies as an undergraduate, I would n

2、ow like to concentrate on English and Irish literature.I am especially interested in nineteenth and early twentieth-century novel, Victorian and naturalist poetry and English Renaissance theatre . Most of my personal literary projects have involved some combination of these subjects. As a part of my

3、 drama course I wrote an essay on Shakespeares King Lear measuring it against the Aristotelian criteria for a tragedy. I also wrote an analysis of Thomas Hardys Tess of the DUrbervilles focusing on the element of Religious hypocrisy. Im very hopeful to continue writing literary criticism on novels a

4、nd be able to improve my papers so that I may be able to write one worthy of publication.In my studies toward a masters degree, I hope to approach nineteenth-century literature more intently. My senior year and independent studies of Victorian literature led me to consider the comparison of signific

5、ance of nature and natural elements between romantic and naturalist poetry and novel.Shall I attend your university, I incline to resume my studies of Romantic and naturalist literature focusing on their natural elements.Writing is also an important aspect of my academic and hopefully professional a

6、ims. I have recently started writing a novel with fantastic elements within an epic theme that reflects my own countrys folk mythology. My writing is influenced by my favourite authors styles and tends to draw from my university studies. Additionally a large sum of my everyday experience especially

7、with nature finds its way into my writing subtly. On another note I try to practice my literary knowledge by applying the devices used by other writers to my own work.Career wise I see myself as one to write novels and literary criticism. Graduate studies can drastically help me on my way to reachin

8、g my academic and career goals. Earning a Masters in English literature with specialisation in either English or Irish literature will help me significantly to achieveMy career targets by improving my skills in writing literary works and criticism. Further, since I dont see the Masters degree as an

9、ultimate academic goal, I consider it a platform to higher levels of Education i.e. PhD. I take much value in studying literature for its own sake and willing to carry on my studies according to the standards demanded by the graduate programme.Non-native English speaker: SOP in EnglishI need help wi

10、th this SOP. I am not a native speaker, so many things that are OK to me sounds not OK when read by a native speaker. I know the schools dont ask for perfect English but I dont want to risk it.I have tried to develop mine by amending a sample SOP from a website. So it should not be that hard to edit

11、 for a native speaker.Thanking you all for your help.I am applying for admission to the MSc in International Business, Energy and Petroleum because I want a career in the area of management of energy. In particular, I am interested in factors that affect the competitive performance of international

12、oil companies, and the manner in which they adopt/pursue their business strategies in rapidly changing conditions, as well as the systems/reasons of their moves in international trade business. In order to gain an appreciation of these and related issues, it is essential for me to have a strong grou

13、nding in the fundamentals of energy sector and issues connected with the management of organisations functioning this market. I believe that this International Business programme with concentration in Energy & Petroleum would be invaluable in helping me achieve these objectives. It would enable me t

14、o channel my quantitative and conceptual skills in analysing business issues. Subsequent to earning this degree, I would like to continue my career at a managerial level in the upstream or downstream petroleum industries. I believe that my educational background has prepared me for such a career. I

15、have started my undergraduate studies in the department of Chemical Engineering at XXX University, Ankara and finished by earning Bachelors Degree in Business Administration at XXX University, Istanbul. Though not completed, I find my studies at the faculty of engineering very useful. Later on, when

16、 combined with my Business Administration studies, they made me a good candidate for career opportunities in petroleum and chemical industries. However, when I started Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, I knew that it will be more beneficial for me as it will broaden my perspective an

17、d improve my career prospects. Economics and marketing - subjects new to me - were interesting, and I enjoyed applying quantitative and conceptual skills to analyze business problems. I did very well in projects, desk research, workshops and class discussion, although academically I did not perform

18、to my satisfaction. (I finished with a GPA of 70.68, partly due to financial reasons). I was voted as one of the five suitable students in our faculty to participate in the Young Entrepreneurs, 2004 which is an intercollegiate project competition for business students on planning and analysing a vir

19、tual investment. Upon graduating, I was offered a job with Company C, a pharmaceutical firm which ranks as among the Worlds largest. This is where I learned how to apply the principles and lessons of marketing and management to real life. It was fascinating; and transformed my interest in management

20、 into a passion. I read extensively, trying to keep myself informed about management thinking in my areas of work - structure and systems in an industry and organisation, industrial marketing and strategy. After that, I have found an opportunity for a working for energy sector, for which I have alwa

21、ys had personal interest. For the last year, I have been employed as an Area Sales Specialist by Company Z which is the Turkey branch of Company X, largest global Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distributor. I have learnt a lot on my present job. With the rest of my team, I have analysed markets and e

22、xamined supply and distribution networks for oil and gas products. I have helped formulate entry strategies, plans for expansion and diversification; and also company business plans. As part of a team, I have carried out preliminary feasibility studies for potential buyers; compared their technology

23、 options and suggested business opportunities with SHV-İpragaz to them. I have studied in detail the organisation structure and systems for trading oil and gas products and helped my superiors as in reconstructing sales activities. My work experience in Company Z- yet short but effective- has given

24、me valuable insights into the environment in which oil and gas companies operate. It has enabled me to observe some of the better and worse ways of running a business in the field of energy. Certain assignments, such as assisting in the reconstruction of sales activities, helped me understand the ne

25、cessity of good organisation structures, and appreciate the significance of marketing in trading. However, some have been demanding as required me to have a detailed knowledge in energy and petroleum products. While the company provided employees with courses to overcome my lack of detailed knowledg

26、e in this field, it has not been possible for me to truly understand specific business and technology - related issues in depth. I realise that in order to be able to do so, I need a better understanding of energy petroleum and their management and economics. Equally important, I need a further trai

27、ning to be able to use this knowledge in the international business world. I want to do a Masters Degree at the University of XXX for many reasons. I have read a lot about your city and am impressed with the emphasis placed on its importance for the XXX energy market, where I would like to pursue my

28、 career. Moreover, University of XXX, a long-established and known university, is one of the rare schools in XXX, offering degrees that can combine energy related subjects and management. Its reputation for excellent teaching and challenging coursework are added attractions. Moreover, I trust that y

29、our university considers foreign students like me as an advantage for creating diversity in schools student profile and offer them the chance to study and experience your country. It is therefore, I strongly hope that the admissions committee finds my background and strengths commensurate with the r

Please help me however you can, Iwill really appreciate it.STATEMENT OF PURPOSEMy undergraduate studies in Literature at the XXXXXXX gave me a solid background in both Latin American and World Literatures, as well a strong theoretical framework, while allowing me to explore my pers

32、onal interests in certain European literary traditions. This undergraduate work helped shape the specific research interests that now drive me to pursue graduate work in the field of Comparative Literature and gave me the opportunity to learn and work with the foreign languages I need to satisfy tho

33、se interests.Currently, my academic concerns lie in exploring early twentieth century narrative, especially in Europe, and how in this period narrative forms began to adapt to new narrative needs. The point of my research is to investigate how certain formal problems determine and shape problems of co
