Dear Sir / Madame ,
I am very glade that the English Summer Camp will be held to help us improve English and deepen the understanding of English culture .
I want to attend the UK Culture Summer Camp because I have always dreamt of going to study in the UK since I began to learn English. .
For one thing , having gained a lot of knowledge about the UK by reading books and watching TV , I am crazy about the country’s culture as well as scenery. For another , I personally prefer British English , so while traveling there , I will have chance to practice it with local people .
As is known to all, English is playing an important role in international society. Therefore, I will grasp every opportunity to improve my ability to communicate in English. What’s more , I expect to have a better understanding of English culture by talking with local people and visiting places of interest. Of course , I will take a lot of photos to share with my classmates.
I will appreciate it if you take my application into consideration.
Yours , Lihua
