一、询问信

Directions: You want to study at a certain foreign university. Write a letter:

1) Inquire about the situations there,
2) Ask about qualifications,
3) Fees and accommodation.

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a Chinese student who wish to apply for admission into your prestigious university. My plan is to start my course next term, and I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to provide me with certain essential information.

First, what qualifications do I need to follow a course of study at your university? I already have a bachelor's degree from Beijing University, but I wonder if there are any further academic requirements. Second, how much are the tuition fees? Although I intend to be self-supporting, I would be interested to hear if there are any scholarships available for international students. Third, what is the situation as regards accommodation?

I look forward to your reply, and to attend your esteemed institution.

Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
