Best i could do:

Dear members of the selection committee,

I hereby apply for a place in the bachelor’s program of Interdisciplinary American Studies at the University of ......

I found your program while looking for a suitable bachelor program and I was immediately interested.

My English needs improvement as you can see from my Baccalaureate certification but I am eager to learn.

I am interested in mastering the English language. I am also greatly intrigued by American culture and history which lead to my decision to come to America two years ago.

So I had been studying at the ......College ....... for 11 months from 01/20/2012 to 10/19/2012, it was a marvelous experience. I met many students of different ages and cultural backgrounds of which had various reasons for their choice of major. The life stories of the diverse community I encountered in America fascinated me.

Thanks to the global nature of the English language I feel a connection with other cultures. Because of this opportunity it was possible for me to clear up the prejudices about other cultures and religions.

I found out an interesting fact that many English words are similar to German words and some Arabic words such as “mushrooms”. I also learned that English has a number of loanwords from German such as kindergarten and dreck.  

I think I am a dedicated, motivated, independent, focused person and hopefully future student.

I would love to learn more from you! I hope that I may also contribute my own ideas and experience I made from my year abroad.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
