As a pupil in a European school, on occasion I had the pleasure of being lectured about East Asia. Whenever that happened, I found any kind of information imposing. I always pondered why it always had to be cut off and not talked about continuously, like was the case with western countries, whose lectures flowed from one subject on to the next without hesitation. Lectures about Asia always seemed to be in their own little confined spaces and separated sections.
My wonders were partially clarified when I read The Eastern Origins of Western Civilisation, by John Hobson. He mentions one word as a reason for the fact that Asia would always be mentioned only as a small footnote – Eurocentrism. A veil was lifted from my eyes, and I couldn’t believe the amount of Eurocentric myths very much alive in our part of the world. On the other hand, I was fascinated and loved the way the clichés and misbeliefs I had learned were broken. My fascination led to a realization that China is my true love and there can be no other.
A year ago, I decided to take a course in Chinese at the Chinese Institute in Prague. I was lucky to choose this particular course, for my teacher was an admirable and well-travelled expert who couldn’t give me a better introduction and insight into not only Chinese culture, but all of Asia. These lessons soon became my favourite time of the week. Soon I found out how demanding studying Chinese is and how inspiring and motivating it is to delve deeper and deeper not only into the language, but the culture and history as well.
What particularly fascinates me about China is that linguistics are well connected with Chinese culture and thought, along with its aesthetic value. I first noticed this when we came across the sign ‘wáng’. This sign, for ‘king’, shows the importance of a ruler, which unifies land, people and the upper regions. It also looks as if it is inspired by the king of animals: the tiger. I admire how deeply complex and connected Chinese history, culture and philosophy are. Therefore, the only way to master it and become an expert is to a) learn from the best and b) do so every day.
Languages and foreign cultures have always been my passion. As a native Czech speaker, I have managed to develop my English skills to a respectable level. After two years of studying Russian at school, I moved to spend a year in a full Russian school in Prague, where I was the only Czech person and lessons took place in Russian only. In a short time, I was able to speak fluently, which I now use for teaching Russian to others. This experience has made me confident that with hard work and determination, I can conquer even one of the most difficult languages – Chinese. My free time is dedicated to further development of English via English literature and studying Chinese and Dutch.
In studying Chinese I view my future as a bright one. I always hear about the country of the fastest economic growth, which is, undoubtedly, a great plus for job opportunities. However, I don’t need the language just for commercial reasons. Studying Chinese is a lifetime challenge and in my case also a hobby – a hobby which I intend to turn into a profession. I am determined to deepen my passion and let others benefit from it. Since it is such an old and complex culture, I would love to discover unknown areas or to deepen what the world already knows about China. China is certainly up to something big, and glorious and once that happens, I want to witness it as an expert and make sure that the world and my personal life can take advantage of it.

My earliest memory of learning a language is embracing my first words of Welsh at nursery school and since then the learning of different languages has always fascinated me. I have been increasingly intrigued and captivated by their usage to the point where I love to constantly challene myself when learning a new language.
This interest has developed over the years and has motivated me to apply to study modern foreign languages at university. Through my current study of both Spanish and French I have kindled a yearning to experience foreign culture, language and to ultimately achieve fluency.
My love for Spanish culture has developed throughout my time in the sixth form, particularly through the cultural elements of the syllabus such as “Volver" and “Como Agua Para Chocolate". I have developed my understanding of Spanish culture through the study of literature and film and I look forward to being able to continue this further at university. “Como Agua Para Chocolate" in particular has helped me to gain an understanding of social issues such as the Mexican Revolution and the use of magical realism as well as the worldwide Hispanic culture. This is an area I am particularly excited about exploring as an undergraduate.
My study of French has enabled me to develop my communication skills and understanding of language as a whole and complement my skills in both. I have especially enjoyed studying Sagan’s novel, “Bonjour Tristesse" and have become very interested in the social context of the novel, “Les trente glorieuses", as well as the life of Sagan herself. Another topic of study, which I have thoroughly enjoyed, has been “La Haine", which has greatly enhanced my knowledge of French culture and history, as well as an understanding of immigration within a French context.
My other courses of study at A level have helped me to develop skills which I feel will prove themselves useful in the study of modern languages at an undergraduate level. For example, through my study of history I have developed my critical analysis skills and am able to deconstruct arguments with a great deal of clarity. I also studied maths at AS level which has provided me with the ability to think systematically and I believe the study of languages relies on both persistence and logic.
In addition to my academic work, I take pride in having taken an active part in my school community. In my role as international prefect I took the initiative to set up a year seven languages club, helping the school achieve Fair Trade status, and welcome international visitors, including exchange students to the school. My role as international prefect has allowed me to utilise and develop my communication skills, as well as transform my passion for languages into achievements that have benefitted the school as a whole.
Outside of school, I have a keen interest in British and foreign film and I run and attend a Spanish film club. I am also greatly interested in European film from other languages such as German for example ‘Das Leben der Anderen’. Through watching foreign films I have broadened my awareness of different societies. I feel that immersing myself only in my national culture would prevent me from experiencing the richness of cultural diversity.
Since September 2009 I have had a part-time job at Waitrose which due to the customer-facing nature of the job I have developed my ability to work well with others which has also been enhanced by being a member of my school choir for several years. Moreover, balancing work and study demonstrates my commitment to diversifying my life experience and developing a wide range of skills which I hope to utilise in my university life. Studying modern languages will provide me with the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the cultures which I am genuinely fascinated by. I believe my combination of passion, skills and desire to learn will be a valuable asset to my university study.

Committed to lifelong learning, I am a designer-maker and arts facilitator supporting creativity through an interdisciplinary practice to enrich learning and appreciation for the arts. Curiosity underpins my desire to return to higher education to study the humanities. I enjoy learning languages (Louisiana Creole French, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish) and exploring identity and material culture through contemporary narratives.
Understanding how and why world arts and artefacts are made, used and circulated in modern and indigenous societies is fascinating to me. I am intrigued by symbols and their meaning in the applied and fine arts, particularly those found on ceramics, sculpture and textiles; Antebellum quilts, Baule masks and figurines, and West African Adinkra are just a few of the art and craft traditions that have captured my imagination.
As the creative voice behind MONYA NEBA, a contemporary craft label rooted in the Creole tradition of storytelling, I create narratives in clay, fiber and verse with a playful, tribal expression that reference indigenous folklore and Modern Art of the 20th century. My current work is a collection of wearable art pieces, rag dolls and cushions exploring my African-American, Cherokee, Creole and Ghanaian ancestry, and the visual language of Joan Miró.
Quite simply, it is my passion for making art objects and sharing what I’ve learned with creative individuals that motivates me as an arts facilitator. For nearly twenty years, I have worked collaboratively with arts practitioners, educators and curators to organise imaginative, thought-provoking programmes for children and adults. These include workshops, exhibitions and performance events for Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and other American holidays in cultural sites across the US and UK.
The Fitzwilliam Museum was invaluable to my interdisciplinary practice. In 2010, alongside my role as a Gallery Attendant, I began a one-year voluntary work placement with the Curator of Egyptian Antiquities. I assisted with the research and cataloguing of scarabs, jewellery, headrests and combs for current and previous exhibitions. This in turn led to exploring the museum’s collections further and delivering a series of creative workshops centred on symbols, language and identity. The experience was enriching, more specifically, the opportunity to make connections between ancient artefacts and Modern art in relation to my contemporary craft work.
Along with an interest in world arts, contemporary craft, and creative writing, I am avid reader of African folktales, the Bible, Gothic literature and poetry. I also enjoy cinema and theatre, performance poetry, and supporting organisations such as the Reading Agency. In 2008, I began volunteering as a Summer Reading Challenge assistant, and for the past five years, I have encouraged hundreds of children across Suffolk and Hampshire to engage with other readers and explore a range of children’s literature.
Two of my greatest strengths are self-motivation, which allows me to perform well under pressure in any environment, and my ability to inspire creativity in others. As a mature student returning to higher education after an eight year break, I would relish the opportunity to be inspired and challenged by like-minded souls.

I am a versatile individual with a passion and flair for both Languages and Maths. I am applying to a variety of courses to pursue my combined interest. My love for languages began when I moved to Switzerland in 2006. Initially having only knowledge of basic German, I was soon moved out of the foreign language class and into the local school to study mainstream subjects with my native-speaking peers. I became more conscious of how languages entwine, and it is this aspect in particular – the resonances between languages with similar origins – that continues to engross me. A week spent at an Interpretation company was fascinating; further enforcing how vital this bridge of communication is.
Languages allow me to pursue interests in literature, film, travel and culture which I find equally important. I enjoy the challenge of reading in other languages, particularly, “Der Besuch der alten Dame" and “L’etranger", which I found very thought provoking. I adore French cinema; some favourites being “Les Choristes", “Jean de Florette" and “Au revoir les enfants." Unfortunately I was unable to continue Spanish at school however it has inspired me to want to learn Italian because of its strong connections with French and Spanish. I find Italian beautiful and it would allow me to explore Italy, a country I have loved since visiting. Out with academia, I attend Mandarin classes and have done so for the past three years. I find Mandarin enthralling as it differs considerable to anything I have learnt before; whereas French captivates me through the delicate spelling, the tranquil tones and the format of the grammar; Mandarin impresses me particularly through its logical structure and the complex, descriptive characters. The appeal of the logic is why Maths intrigues me, as although each separate technique can be quite straightforward, when you integrate techniques they provide a challenge that enthrals me. There is always something new to learn and discover, and I could hardly wait for Advanced Higher Maths, when I would finally be able to take the square root of a negative number! Mathematics is a large part of my life, and in addition to my studies, I volunteer during classes in the Maths department and I took the initiative to organise a Maths Help club which provides tuition and support for others.
Last Summer I was fortunate to be able to volunteer in India. Whilst there, I trekked in the Western Ghats, helped renovate two local schools, taught English and explored Indian culture. The experience reinforced my leadership, financial and organisational skills. To fund the expedition, I successfully raised over GBP3500 through events I organised myself such as a Summer Fair and a sponsored teacher’s cat-walk. I began my own business, making soaps and selling them at craft fairs. In February I will be volunteering in South Africa, aiding the Umthombo street-children’s project and looking after AIDS orphans. I have recently started volunteering at an Oxfam shop as I am passionate about their work.
I love being responsible for the social integration of a new pupil and being part of the School’s Music, Events and Yearbook committees. I recently organised a ceilidh raising funds for a South African project and a Fancy Dress party for S1s. These are time consuming however immensely satisfying, because of the end results and the opportunities for teamwork. Recently I have taken a First Aid course, and will be volunteering for the St Andrew’s Ambulance Association in 2012. I enjoy playing the flute, and will be sitting my Grade 8 exam this March, as well as being a member of a Flute Choir. I am looking forward to the challenges of university, and to the opportunities to become involved in different aspects of the student body. I believe that I have the dedication to succeed academically at the highest level, allowing me to develop my knowledge and experience in order to progress into a rewarding future suited to my skills and talents.

英文自傳範例︰西班牙文化學 Hispanic Studies

Despite all the framed photos, I have only one distinct memory of my visit to Madrid as a ten year old: the language barrier. I recall gawking at children my age playing soccer in a side street. Baffled by their freedom to frolic in roads, I was even more mesmerized by the soundsthey produced. To understand their shouts and the reasons behind their laughter was to be a part of their mysterious world. I longed to laugh with them.
Naively determined to be fluent, Spanish lessons made it on that year’s Christmas list. After learning the basics, I understood that learning a language is not a short term goal, but a lifetime commitment. Unwavering from my childhood goal, I studied my second university year in Seville, Spain. My ideas of language learning have evolved since my arrival. I have learned that language study reaches beyond a lifetime committed to grammar and word memorization; it relies on understanding the common concerns of its speakers.
Reading George Orwell’s personal account of the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia, I am able to reflect on my own experience in Spain. He writes, Whenever it is conceivably possible, the business of today is put off until manana. Manana, referring to morning, tomorrow, or an indefinite time in the future, is a concept that English-speaking cultures lack. Like Orwell,I initially held onto my ambitious, schedule-oriented mindset, and saw Andalusia’s mid-day store closing as inconvenient. Throughout my eight months of study, while my ears have adjusted to the sounds of Spanish language, my thoughts and actions adapted to its culture. The adaptations have calmed my task driven mind and improved the quality of my work due to the Spanish schedule’s flexibility and my new respect for both cultures’ ideas of time.
Spain’s time concept is especially appreciated when overdue library books are accepted with a simple sigh. The lack of late fees has allowed me to keep Rosalia de Castro’s Cantares gallegos in my possession longer than the suggested return date. Her lyrically patriotic love affair not only raises questions of the susceptibility of speech, but proves the power of literature in language acquisition and preservation over time. Understanding Galicia’s vulnerability to more prevailing foreign influences, Rosalia skillfully uses poetry to preserve the Galician language and has, in turn, established a solid foundation for a common cultural identity. In some ways, Rosalia de Castro, has inspired my decision to continue education in Hispanic studies. Her poetry has motivated me to learn other Iberian languages and to investigate Spain’s relationship with their minority cultures.
I believe Hispanic studies programs offered by UK univerisities can strengthen my Castilian language skills, introduce me to other Iberian languages, and further encourage my exploration of the Iberian Peninsula through means my home university cannot provide. Dueto its geographic location, Auburn University’s Spanish program primarily focuses on Latin America and therefore offers few resources for my research of the Iberian Peninsula. I believe exposure to literature and native speakers is the key element in any language and cultural study. UK universities would provide me with both of these vital elements and give me the opportunity to study the specific region of the Spanish speaking world I wish to pursue.
Outside studies, I tutored English to a variety of ages in Spain. Being exposed to a teacher’s prospective has shown me where my own progress needs improvement. Teaching and learning a language relies on patience and a persistent passion for the subject.This summer I look forward to volunteering as an English tutor for adults in the Memphis area. My dream for my students is the same dream I have had for myself for the past ten years: the ability to laugh. The ability to laugh represents an overall understanding of language and of its people, and I have just begun to giggle.

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Although Wittgenstein was in this case expounding his deterministic philosophy, one can change the context and his statement is a reminder that reaching out to a different language also opens up a different culture, a different history, a different way of thinking about things. As an avid historian, I am fascinated by the European machine, the political manoeuvrings, and the ways in which its turbulent past shape the modern-day boundaries of language, culture and commerce. From this point of view I am also acutely aware that no study of language is complete without knowledge of the events that shaped it, from the wars that ripped Renaissance Italy apart, to the Risorgimento, to Berlusconi era – and everything in between.
Having studied French and German, I have developed a love of language, and feel that learning Italian would be the key to unlocking the rich culture and history of the country. I have already visited many of Italy’s treasures from Giotto’s legendary frescoes in Assisi, to the time capsule that is Venice and relish the challenge of immersing myself in this and more at university.
I believe I have the ability to take on a language as an ab initio candidate: in September I received the Sixth Form Modern Foreign Language award, reflecting my talent and my affinity for languages. I am keen to communicate with people of my age (and others) across Europe and the world, and subscribe to a website through which I have meet several students with whom I can practise speaking other languages. Technology has been invaluable in developing my awareness of the European landscape, allowing me to subscribe to newspaper websites such as Le Monde, download content from the BBC’s Italian Steps site, and regularly take in other German media in relation to schoolwork.
Learning Italian ab initio would, of course, take dedication, and in my school career, I have demonstrated diligence and commitment. This includes being part of the Senior Prefect Team, involved in supporting the running of the school, and planning and organising events. I am also a polished performer, from being MC for last year’s school talent show, to leading the string section for school productions and concerts with my violin. In addition, I have engaged in a number of Sixth Form Pantomimes, most recently taking the role of Scrooge in last year’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
I have a love of music, both in terms of performance and of theoretical study. As well as playing the violin for the past eight years, I have taught myself to play the guitar, mandolin, ukulele, and cello. I am a strong musical composer and have written songs as part of my musical study as well as for pleasure, once combining my love of stand-up comedy with music by winning a school talent show in 2008 as part of a guitar/mandolin double-act. Last year, I entered the composers’ class of the local Mary Wakefield music festival, and won with a string orchestra piece. While in Venice I was also able to make a day trip out of my interest in Vivaldi at the Museo della Musica. The city (and the country as a whole) has, on top of everything else, a strong musical tradition, which only makes the prospect more attractive to me.
Given this success, I originally applied to university to study music last year, despite my comparatively modest performance ability, and the need to achieve Grade 5 piano within a year. This was not entirely realistic and the time commitment it required, as well as a number of personal issues, meant that I did not achieve as highly in June as I or my teachers feel I should have. After much reflection, I have re-focused on languages and cultures, an area where I have a lot to offer, and where I am keen to learn. I hope that the seriousness of my intent is clear now that my goals are better-founded, and I am determined to achieve my fullest potential this year.

英文自傳︰西班牙與語言 Spanish and Linguistics

My love of languages was formed and nurtured in a classroom but it was developed into a true passion in the real world. A trip to Ecuador with World Challenge has made me realise I could never be content with knowing a language simply in a classroom context, because the true beauty of a language is in communication and the education that communication brings. My month trekking in Ecuador not only brought out of me a more confident and passionate Spanish speaker but also instilled in me the sense that a language is not just words, with it comes an entire culture and history which are as important as the words themselves.
Surprisingly, this year I have also discovered that my enthusiasm for languages does not simply lie with Spanish and French, which I am taking for A level, but also with the structure and development of language. When the prospect of a grammar lesson became an exciting part of my day it was clear to me that grammar had taken a hold. I am currently using my grammatical skills to assist in my completion of an online TEFL course which has improved my organisational skills and my ability to work independently. After reading introductory texts to linguistics I have realized a keen interest in endangered languages and am fascinated by the work of Peter Ladefoged throughout the world, documenting and researching languages. I believe it is a linguist’s responsibility to protect and document languages which may never be spoken again.
My studies of English literature have lead me to appreciate both English and foreign texts. Having read work by Lorca (including “Blood Wedding", “The House of Bernada Alba" and “Yerma")I was intrigued by the symbolism used. The contrast between English novels, with their factual and descriptive nature with strong social connotations, and Spanish literature which appears to be more poetic and to draw upon romantic and traditional folklore, interests me greatly. I have also found, through my reading of the poetic work of authors such as Pablo Neruda and Antonio Gala, that folklore and mysticism are strong themes for Spanish poets whereas they appear much less frequently in English poetry.
With a father living in France I have been deeply immersed in foreign culture for many years and through this I have found myself aspiring to possess the same ease and fluency of the native speakers. I hope to achieve this goal through my studies at university as well as a greater understanding of the history and literature of the Spanish world. I vehemently hope that furthering my linguistic skills, both in the Spanish language and in linguistics itself
will lead to a career as a diplomat working in South America, a part of the world that has captivated me entirely. Witnessing the development of a small community in Ecuador has increased my interest and awareness in international affairs; this coupled with my ability to communicate my thoughts effectively leads me to believe this is the right career for me.
Further to my academic studies I hope that at university I will be able to continue my dedication to sport, especially swimming which I currently compete in at a local level. At present I am on the sixth form charity committee and my support of charities is something I would like to continue whilst at university. I would also like to share my excitement for my chosen subjects with likeminded individuals from diverse and varied backgrounds. Moreover as an enthusiastic film fan I have begun to explore Spanish films such as “Volver", “El Orfanato" and “El Mar al Dentro" which have introduced me to a new approach to cinema in which harsh themes are tackled head on and the ability to discuss and explore these further is one I would relish. Finally, as an outgoing and dynamic character I look forward to an active social life.
