Motivation letter to exchange, please correct! :)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a third-year-student from the University X and I’ve always had a dream of studying abroad. Since the next academic year will be my fourth and I don’t have that many courses left, this is my last chance to apply for an exchange program. My major is X and my minor is Y but I need another minor for my Master’s Degree. X is an interdisciplinary branch and I think it’s important to be able to understand also the things related to society since they have an effect on X. That’s why I decided that sociology would be a useful minor for my Master’s Degree. Although the minor will be included in my Master’s Degree, the courses I’d be studying should be bachelor level.
After deciding what I want to study, I started to look at the course selection of different universities and I realized that X University has a great variety of courses related to sociology. Most universities in Europe have their courses taught in other languages than English so it diminishes the variety of courses I can attend. X University has its courses taught in English and the course selection is really wide, so X felt like a natural choice for me.
Although my TOEFL iBt score is 101, which proves that I am able to study in English, I don’t speak like a native speaker yet. An exchange period in X University would be a very good opportunity to improve my spoken English. On the other hand, living in X would be a huge advantage when it comes to learning more French. I studied French for three years in senior high school and I was really good at it. Unfortunately, I have not studied it in my home university so I’m not at that same level any more. I believe that my French would improve very quickly during my stay at X, and that’s also one of the reasons why I chose X University.
I am also very interested in different cultures and I’ve studied intercultural communication in my home university. Since I will be working in X-related positions in the future, it’s very important for me to be able to communicate with people coming from different cultures. I believe that during my semester in X University I would meet people all over the world and that would be a great opportunity to improve my skills of intercultural communication. I’m also very interested in Canadian culture and people and as a (nationality) I cannot wait to see (NHL team) play!
Sincerely Yours,
X X
--- First of all, I'm sorry about the X-thing
But please correct my motivation letter to exchange. I know it has a lot of grammatic mistakes and I don't know if I've said the right things so please say anything that comes to your mind!
