1. Why do you want to come to US and join this program? 

I want to join this U.S. program because it's necessary, if not vital, for a college student such as myself, to improve his spoken English in order to properly communicate in today's modern world. What also excites me is the possibility of meeting new people in a totally new environment. That would be both an entirely different experience, as well as a challenging one, for me. I believe that person who travels far and experiences many things, builds character.

An American employer should hire me because I welcome facing new challenges. Although I may be lacking in practical experience, that shortcoming can easily be overcome by my motivation, resourcefulness, and flexibity in adapting to, and succeeding at, a new position. In short, I would be an asset to his business. This, in turn, enables me to take pride in the quality of my work, as well as provides me with a great sense of accomplishment. 

3. How would you describe your character/personality?

I would describe myself as a sensitive, but thoughtful person, yet, each of us has a unique, if not complex, character that defies such simple labels. Being somewhat reserved, I usually don’t talk freely with others too much, but from my words and actions, no one would be left with the idea that I am lacking in intelligence and foresight. Let's just say that it takes time for me to know someone, and vice-versa, but I always have a lot more of myself  to share when I’m with a close friend or people that I am familiar with.

4. Please describe any skiing, snowboarding, or swimming experience you have.

As to experience with skiing or snowboarding, I’ve never done either one. As to swimming, at first, it held no real attraction to me, but I learned to become a competent swimmer. However, one time I had went swimming, with my relatives, in a lake near my hometown. There, a boy prodded me with his finger and earnestly pleaded with me to teach him how to swim since he saw how well I could do it. So, I held his waist and told him to swing his arms and kick like a frog. Finally, after some trial and error, he succeeded and could then swim on his own. I was so delighted that we then swam together for a while. That was the most unforgettable swimming experience I have ever had because I had the satisfaction of enabling someone else reach his goal.

5. Do you prefer to work alone or in a group? Why?

In spite of my personality, I prefer to work in a group as doing so makes accomplishing the work easier and more efficient. While each of us may have our own separate task, contributing to, and succeeding at, the common goal is the essence of good teamwork. Furthermore,  when you are working with others who are from different places and cultures, and who also have different experiences, it is easier to be exposed to different ways of thinking and to possibly learn new ideas. All of us should be open-minded enough to want to expand our horizons.

6. What will be your greatest challenge in the U.S.?

I feel that the greatest challenge for me in the U.S. or anywhere else, will be myself. I have to be able to overcome my reserved nature to effectively do whatever is required of me, as well as to communicate and interact with Americans. To successfully do my job, whatever it ultimately may be,  I need the courage to break free from these self-imposed chains. Although that will be the hardest part, since I am aware of it, and since I have the sincere desire to change,  it is just a small matter of applying myself to take those initial steps.

Hi Frank. I'm not sure that my poor offerings will be of any help to you, but feel free to use or modify them as needed. More that anything else, I just tried to make your original text read more naturally to my native eyes. Your writing is at a fairly high level, so keep studying since you are on the right track. Best of luck! J.
