研究生入学自我介绍

Good morning, teachers and my fellow students. My name is Paul. I've always been very interested in journalism, and have worked very hard at studying throughout my four years of college. Unfortunately, the more I've learned, the more I began to realize that I still don't know enough to do research by myself. I think I still need a lot more practical experience to make what I 've learned in the classroom more realistic. So I decided to pursue advanced study at the Columbia University, which I believe is the idea place for me to get what I need. I hope that I can do a good job in my pursuits.

老师、同学们早，我叫保罗。我一直对新闻学很感兴趣，在我四年的大学生活中也一直很努力地在学习。但不幸的是，我学得越多，就越发了解到我所知道的仍然不足以独立做研究。我想我还需要更多实际的经验，以使我在课堂上所学到的知识更为实际。因此我决定来哥伦比亚大学深造，我相信这是一所理想的学府，能让我得到我所需要的东西，也希望我能做好我的研究工作。
