Urban Planning Student Applying for a Master Degree! Hello, I'm going to attend an interview of master degree.I must prepare a spoken self-introduction in English. Here is my work. Would you please help me to correct the mistakes and see if it's convincing enough to let the teacher make sure that I'm qualified. If not, how to correct? THANK YOU! Good afternoon, professors: I’m a student from XX university of technology. At First I must admit that my spoken English may not as good as the other students. Because I have spend my years in University learning German. But that doesn’t mean I can only speak “Guten Tag” instead of “Good morning”. It means I have made efforts to study those languages at the same time, in order to communicate with more people and get more advanced knowledge related to my major. Also I have enough confidence in my major. During my four year study in university, I have built up a solid foundation of professional knowledge. And I’m also willing to join any research program that can help me get more practical experience. In the Student Research Program I learned to analyze the city and space based on computer science. Firstly the space syntax, an efficient method, that is used to quantify space configurations. My teacher would like to lead us to figure out the new process of planning with the help of space syntax. And I did analysis in different directions and have learned the basic operation of depthmap, the software designed for space syntax. Big data is also an interesting topic. It makes the planning work more diversified and efficient, because we can always find new possibilities doing the analysis. In these program I found myself become more and more interested in the theory of urban planning. At the same time I also read a lot of books, such as Garden Cities of Tomorrow and The Image of the City ,which has expanded the field of my vision. Also in my class, I realized that urban planning is such a complicated major including knowledge about traffic, economy, ecology and so on. So I wish I could study further in NG university, an university with a highly qualified faculty and strong academic environment, the university I have long admired. All in all I believe that I can make contribution to the enrichment and diversity of your university. Please give me a chance and I will prove myself.Thank you very much.

I would suggest you do not abbreviate "university" as "uni" as it sounds unprofessional. Likewise "i would be willing to join some program" sounds very unspecific. If you wish to show you are flexible about which program try "I would be willing to join any program." Or just "I would be willing to join a program." If you are going to say "I also read lots of books such as...." you should name a book... "I also read lots of books such as the Architect's Guide to Spoken English." (I made that title up, sorry!) I hope you do well! This is really good work.
