I am a person keen on thinking and experiencing. My lively character and vigorous energy have made me very active in extracurricular events in which I have sought an all-round personal development. Sociology Studies will provide me with the kind of constant real life thinking I have always craved, while helping me to improve my analytical, practical & communication skills. Also my concern and curiosity about society and its people inspired me to pursue this subject for my higher education, as I believe Sociology Studies sums up a lot in the changing nature of society.

My education has schooling my perception of society and people leading me to be acutely aware of social events, inequality, identities, cultures and religious fundamentalism, especially in a society such as the one I come from - China. I was practicing in the Chinese Hope Project during summer holidays and volunteered to investigate the issue of low educational attendance rate for female students in rural China with my tutor from my high school and that was a very good experience as it not only made me realise how traditional cultural influence could remain unchanged in some of those rural areas in China and also the way parents and children interacting. I always have wondered why for many Chinese students just like me, hundreds of them fail to choose what they really want to student and do as a career. Chinese parents are definitely having strange influences on their kids' decision making in terms of education and career or in the worst cases; the parents decided what their kids should do solely. My mother believes that I should go for

Finance studies, while I clearly know that my interest has never been in the Mathematical formulas and numbers, I always find the diversities of societies, people, beliefs, cultures and the way people interacting together very fascinating. So, during this summer, my thoughts kept returning on why I worked so unsuccessfully towards studying finance and economics as my mother expected? And how can I truly become my own master by progressing a BA that I really like to engage more research and enrich myself with? How did all the cultural and beliefs affecting the way we acting the roles in the community? In which way an individual could actually build up and refine his/her identities?

In pursuing a Sociology degree, I seek answers to these questions. A thorough examination of the Sociology behind human behaves could reveal the beliefs, values and identities; it enables us to exam and understand ourselves better. While knowledge of Sociology will certainly benefit the social services providing, I also maintain a passion for Culture Studies for that same reason. Cultural behaviour study appeals to me because it tells us why we act in a certain way - under a cultural atmosphere. Also for being in the UK for 3 years, the knowledge about the outside world has given me a unique and balanced perspective to examine the reality of Chinese society too. In this historical epoch in which China is becoming closely integrated into the international community and playing an influence role in the world arena, I wish to gain insights into our society in its socio-culture aspects and to study how Chinese culture can respond to the globalization process.

By combining these thoughts into a good BA in Sociology degree programme, I can pursue my professional goal of doing education and community service work for the government and perhaps focusing in promote public welfare. My experience in the past in social practices has not only equipped me with an intellectual foundation for my future studies but has also supplied me with my career plans. In my eyes, China's several thousand years of history has given rise to the deep-entrenched rule by man instead of rule by law and nature. In dealing with such issues like economic development, poverty elimination and the promotion of law, the framing and application of government policies seem to play a greater role. Therefore, it is obvious that to contribute to public welfare and to national development, it is more realistic and useful to become a well-trained and

well-qualified public administrator. In this lies the motivation of my application for an undergraduate programme in sociology at your esteemed department. WanSheng High School where I was studying is a key provincial high school that attracts best students from every part of the province. In fierce academic competitions, I have managed to remain top-ten in my high school academic performance and was recommended by the school to Highbury College, Portsmouth to study my foundation course. I passed the foundation course successfully in 20xx and was an outstanding student of my class. I believe that my previous social practices activities and academic preparations have built a solid background for me to further my intensive and fruitful research in your BA in Sociology studies. After gaining knowledge of both Sociology and different

cultures at the highly regarded University of Leicester, I plan to work for social services to use my knowledge of social human behaviour to aid members of the public.
