Dear Visa Officer,
//交代一下自己现在和之前的教育、工作背景;
My name is XXX. I received my bachelor's degree in Hebei University of XXX in 2015. My major was Information and Computing Science, which is an interdisciplinary program of computational mathematics and information technology.
//说明自己现在情况的局限性,从而引出为什么要去加拿大读书;
I am currently enrolled at Guangdong University of XXX for a master’s degree in mathematics. My credentials would fit perfectly for a middle school or primary school teacher but I do not have the patience to teach young students and answer their questions. So it is impractical for me to be a teacher and it is hard for me to find other types of job if I only own the techniques of mathematics. At the same time, I find that there are plenty of computer-related jobs in China and employers usually require applicants to have a corresponding degree. Consequently, I need to pursue a degree in computer science.
/*承接上一段,说明自己将要去加拿大读书的专业。我申请的学校很一般,就没说为什么去这个学校,只是对录取我的专业做了一个简单的介绍;*/
Because of this reason, I applied and have been admitted into the Master of Science in Applied Computer Science and Society program at the University of XXX. It is a thesis based program. My supervisor would be Prof. XXX, who got his doctor degree from University of XXX. The research topic(s) I will work on is Image Analysis and Recognition via Moment Methods, which requires a strong mathematics and programming background. Image analysis and recognition are branches of machine learning. The program includes four courses about computer science and a research thesis.
//加拿大的研究生相对于中国的研究生有何优势?
The program would last for two years, whereas the corresponding programs offered in China are all three years. So the program saves me a year’s time, I can use this year to make some money and gain a year’s work experience. That’s the reason why I want to study in Canada, rather than in China.
/*毕业以后的打算。重申一遍,我去加拿大读硕士,是因为我以后的工作需要我这么做。我读的是研究型硕士,自然要把thesis的重要性再强调一下;*/
When I graduate from University of XXX in 2020, I hope to work as an artificial intelligence (AI) researcher in Alibaba, Baidu or Tencent, whose employees are usually highly paid. My work experience on thesis would really be a great advantage among applicants, because the AI-related employers usually want their employees to acquire the ability of reading the latest innovative research papers that can be applied to their work.
//打一下亲情牌;
The excellent work place for me is Beijing, where is the software center of China. What's more, Beijing is near my home, Hebei Province, so I can always see my parents and my younger sister during vacations. Guangzhou and Hangzhou are also nice cities because of low living expenses and many job opportunities.
