does this sound good?
I am writing a letter to a graduate admissions committee asking for language exemption. The following is the main part of this letter. Do you think it sounds good? Does it contain any errors or inappropriate expressions? Thanks a lot for your time.
I have been studying in Canada for more than three years as a PhD student of University of Toronto. Since a typical life of a graduate consists of doing presentations in seminars, discussing questions with professors or peers, reading books or papers, writing documents related to research work, and communicating with various other people involved in everyday life, I think that having been exposed to such a real English-speaking environment for more than three years should be a reasonable reason for my appeal for such an exemption.

Hello, If you do not mind, I think there are a few things that need correction: I have been studying in Canada for more than three years as a PhD student in the University of Toronto. Since a typical life of a graduate student consists of fullfilling many requirments in English, I think it is a good reason for appealing for such an exemption.

In my opinion, the argument you put forth for a language exemption (assuming it is also for your graduate level work) is not very strong, and I think it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll get your exemption based on that. If I were you, I’d work on coming up with some more concrete, verifiable accomplishments that can actually be shown to demonstrate an advanced command of the English language.
