Motivation letter for a master program

Hello, I have just wrote a motivation letter to apply for a master program about globalization. It would really be of great help if someone could give me some advices on the content and the grammar, because English is not my mother tongue and it's my first time to write a motivation letter. Thank you very much.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm writing to apply for the Master Program on GlobalizationStudy starting in the autumn of 2013.

It's always my dream to become a journalist and I want to get myself better prepared for that. It suits my career goals and aspirations, not only because it combines the learning of theory and the intercultural experience together, but also because that the process and effect of globalization is becoming a more and more important fact in the analysis of international events, I can apply this theoretical knowledge to my future work through getting a deeper insight into the events.

This program strongly attracts me and I think I'm also suitable for it.

I'm completing a comprehensive undergraduate degree in German , and I'm expected to graduate in July 2013. I have achieved quite excellent academic resultsand awarded several scholarships in my university. Studying German provides me a chance to look at another totally different culture as the Chinese one. Further more, I chose international economics and trade as my second major in my sophomore year. So I have gained a strong background in both fields.

My interest in globalization can be traced back to my high school days. As a liberal student, I got in touch with the concept of "Globalization", it's in history, geography and politics classes. And currently I also take part in a research project. I want to study the cultural exchange system from a literature perspective.

Moreover, I spent a month at the University of Vienna, in order to improve my language ability and got in touch with professors and students from different backgrounds.

What's more, I took part in numerous voluntary activities. In July 2011, I served as a volunteer in the 14th FINA Championships and got a chance to communicate with journalists from all over the world. And I really value working in collaboration with others, involved in those kinds of team work, I'm good at communicating with others and expressing myself. I also worked as a journalist in the International Financial News, a newspaper belonging to the People's News. I tremendously enjoyed my experience working there. These opportunities strengthened my skills in the analysis of problems and communicate with others, and I am determined to become better through further education in the area of globalization. Interviewing some business activities, there is often a reason lying behind them, globalization.

I firmly believe that such an education will effectively broaden my horizon, exploit my potential to perform serious academic researches and strengthen my capacity to analyse and solve problems in the real world. It is also beyond doubt that this experience will be my most valuable asset when meeting challenges in my future life.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely
