正规德国留学申请书

Dear _,

My interest in Mathematics initially developed when I began to consider how a set of well-defined points on a plane could be described by a single equation. It was clear that a curve could be drawn through the set of points but, as my knowledge was limited in Year 10, I had to pursue my own research to learn how to deduce the equation of such a curve. Since then, I have come to appreciate how the many diverse topics in Maths are connected, such as the relationship between number theory and cryptography, as explained in Marcus du Sautoy’s ‘Music of the Primes’. I find the prospect of understanding such succinct theories, which can be applied in many industries, as well as forming new ones through extensive research, very exciting in today’s ever advancing society.

The topic to have engaged me the most at A-level has been differentiation. It is centred on the idea of limits, which relates directly to infinity and infinitesimals. I first read about Cantor’s continuum hypothesis in Clegg’s ‘A Brief History of Infinity’, and my understanding of infinity has evolved since then. The paradoxes associated with infinity and all the counter-intuitive arguments put forward about infinity motivate me to study infinity in detail, and I therefore look forward to the intriguing courses on analysis.

‘It may be very hard to define mathematical beauty, but that is just as true of beauty of any kind’ – Hardy in ‘A Mathematician’s Apology’. I agree with Hardy, for I feel that mathematical beauty is inexpressible and yet so common. However, I believe that Maths at school level has lost its beauty, as there is not enough emphasis on the proofs of theorems and the focus lies in the end result of a theorem instead. My opinion is that they are equally important, as one cannot exist without the other: you cannot classify something as a theorem unless it has a proof and you cannot have a proof unless it leads to a theorem. However, I have only come across beautiful Maths in proofs and I therefore look forward to the rigorous approach of being taught Maths at university level, which gives more importance to understanding. Currently, I find some stimulation in attending weekly extension Maths lessons, covering topics that go beyond the regular A-Level syllabus, such as Euclid’s algorithm, the Fibonacci sequence, the continuum hypothesis and proof by induction.

Maths has been a vital tool in innumerable disciplines, such as programming, medical imaging and code breaking, for thousands of years. I attended a lecture on ‘How Mathematics Drives Computing’ at Imperial College, where a lecturer explained how he was able to contribute significantly to airline scheduling via his PhD research work. Such constant evolution and innovation in Maths, with its potential as an instrument of solving problems and progressing society, attracts me greatly. In my spare time, I write Internet articles frequently on programming techniques, such as image scaling and collision detection, to which over 50 people are subscribed. Moreover, I have received a prize for a project I developed myself.

I am a School Prefect, which has enhanced my leadership skills. I participate in inter-school hockey matches as part of our School’s team, and I have practised the art of Taekwondo since I was ten years old. I find Bridge interesting and have represented my School in various competitions. I have also been playing the drums for four years. Furthermore, I attend the J S Mill Society, where issues of politics and economics are discussed.

Sophistication, precision and the axiomatic approach of mathematics have always appealed to me and I hope to appreciate their efficacy to an even greater extent at university.

Yours sincerely,

德国留学生住宿问题

一、申请学生宿舍

学生宿舍费用低廉、房屋状况良好、距离学校近，并且利于同龄人沟通，故而通常是留学生欢迎的住房形式。据统计，在德国大学生服务社所提供的约18.3万间宿舍中，留学生的居住比例超过了40%。然而，学生宿舍的建设速度远远不及学生数量的增长速度，在“僧多粥少”的情况下，申请到学生宿舍往往需要等待几个月，一些受欢迎的房型如套房等，则需要等待更长的时间。

二、在线预订住房

除了大学生服务社外，一些教会机构或基金会也为学生建造了性价比很高的住处。这种住处通常基本设施齐全，生活和交通都比较便捷，而且价格适中。所有满足条件的人都可以在线预订，预订成功后有3天的时间考虑是否入住，如果同意则需要在此期间支付押金和部分月租。与学生宿舍相同的是，这种住处往往供不应求，只能在有空缺时完成预订。此外，柏林类似的大型学生公寓还有位于斯拉赫滕湖的“学生村”，它原名为“柏林自由大学学生村”。

三、租住私房

私房的房型多样，价格不等。寻找私房可以借助所在城市的地方性报纸上的广告或者借助专业网站。流程是先确定自己想要的住房，给房东写邮件或打电话介绍自己的情况，然后预约时间看房。如果满意，则告诉房东希望入住，等待房东的回复。除了要有能力支付租金外，租客的性格、背景、生活习惯等都会影响德国房东的选择。有些德国房东不愿意把房子租给外国人和没有稳定工作收入的学生，对此，中国学生要有心理准备。

四、委托中介寻找住房

德国有许多房屋租赁中介公司。如果对自己的语言和交流能力不够自信，或者想减少在寻找住处上花费的时间，委托中介办理也不失为一种找到房子的途径。学生需要说明自己对房子的要求、租住时间、基本信息和可接受的价格区间等。中介的费用大约是一到两个月的房租，这意味着房屋的租金越高，需要支付的中介费也越高。除了正式的中介公司，也有一些久居德国的中国人会充当中介的角色，他们的收费通常较低。

留学德国语言班优缺点概述

一、公立语言班

1.概述

各大公立学校中，基本上都会设置有自己的语言班，门槛会相对来说高一些，需要学生获取有条件的录取，即专业能力符合学校的要求，德福考试在12分以上，没有达到16分。

课程设置的是DSH，和标准化考核是同步的，大家完成学习后参加考试，合格后直接入学;而一个学期的学习费用在500-1000欧之间，需要大家在入学之间，缴清费用确认资格。

2.优缺点

学生可以直接在学校内学习，大家享受的生活上的待遇和正式学生是一致的，费用也相对要便宜一些，授课是学校内的老师，所以质量也会有保障，完成学习通过考试之后可以直接入学。

不过由于人数有限制，所以不会按能力分班基本都是大班授课，学习的进度也会比较慢，入学的门槛也是会比私立高一些的，开班的时间固定，大家上课需要根据学校的安排来。

二、私立语言班

1.概述

除了私立学校中会设置有语言班，还会有不少专门的语言学校提供语言提升课程，而申请只需要提交自己获取的APS证书即可，入学门槛低基本上没有压力，适合基础一般的学生。

学习收费是按月来的，一个月需要250-400欧之间;课程也会根据学生的能力分班，具体就有A1、A2、B1、B2、C1、C2、DSH班、Daf班、TelcC1HS班。

2.优缺点

基本上每个月都会开新的班，上课的时间很灵活，学生有比较高的自主性，学习课程的收费也是比较友好的;提供的考试培训覆盖了DSH、德福、TelcC1HS;小班进行授课效率会更高。

学习一般都是在单独的地方进行，就读的学生身份是社会人士，不能够享受各项学生专属的福利;虽然学生升学的选择更多，但是也意味着大家失去了内考的机会。
