I have always been interested in how things work. As a child, I was deeply attracted to electronic things, and always got into a lot of trouble by taking them apart and not being able to reassemble them. For the sake of seeing how the bulb worked, I even got a shock by touching the plug, but never lost the interest of discovering, learning and investigating. After several years of school life, I found the most interesting subjects are physics and math, especially the part of electricity. When you really enjoy doing or learning some thing, you may spend plenty of time on it and may never dither, therefore I got superb grades in my physics and math. “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.” Following this famous adage, when I was in Chinese junior high school I attended an extracurricular physics group which focus on the application of electric physics. We designed some simple circuit diagrams to make life easier, such as an alarm system which would be triggered by the breaking of a window and hence preventing theft. These simple experiments encourage me to go deep into the domain of electronic physics.

 

I am studying physics at A-level. I've found that it’s utterly different in comparison to the physics I learnt in China. The 'physics' here is more application-based, as opposed to plain theory. In my opinion, we are studying and learning because we need the knowledge to do apply in the future and not just for the exams. Therefore I’m aiming for the practicality of the subjects, and then I found electrical and electronic engineering is most suitable for me.

 

My Further Mathematics course at A level has helped me develop the confidence to tackle more challenging questions therefore I achieved A's in the sections relating to electricity, majority of which were nearly 100%.  I believe that if someone wants to be a good physicist, he must be a keen mathematician first. I’ve already taken 6 modules and accumulated 566 marks out of a possible 600 and gained 100% in both the Core 1 and Core 2 modules. Also I gained a gold certificate for the senior math challenge last year.

 

Beyond my studies, I also strive to play many instruments. Some of which are the piano, guitar and violin. I extremely enjoy classical music as I believe it creats a serene environment, and allows me to focus on another activity that I may be working on at the time. I have also played badminton since I have come to England and also participated in the house competition. I can also use computer at an expert level.I am well versed with Photoshop and 3DMAX which allows me to bring forward my creativity.

 

I’ve been in England for nearly a year and half. I stay in a boarding house and a boarder’s life makes me attain autonomy. I’ve also made many firm friends, and they have helped me improve my spoken English.

 

I hope that my enthusiasim for physics is obvious and I genuinely believe that I would enjoy and develop from a degree course in electrical and electronic engineering. 

 

 

 

Finally..Job done!~ (I asked my friend to correct all kind of mistakes = = It's much better now`)

其实也了解 游戏乃身外之物 可欲不可求 去了那边基本上是无缘相见 因为网络原因= =

 

不管怎么说 从我回来到现在也有将近2个月了 貌似除了中途去了趟内蒙古以外学了学拉锯子以外

再没干什么了 平时在家也就是睡睡觉 玩玩游戏 弹弹琴 然后继续睡觉…

明明下一年就该是学生生涯中最忙最烦的一年了 我竟然在家无所事事

不过这种感觉和悠闲自在不一样 眼睛盯着屏幕手里握着鼠标 心里却感觉很不自在

开了学就要面试 就要写自荐 就要填UCAS form 就要开新课

本应在假期能分担的工作 却无从下手

就好像…老师留了作业说第2天必须交回家却发现没带作业本（当然 我说的是大多数学生的那种感受``别看我）

不过万幸 实在是万幸 出乎我的意料 暑假前的考试成绩让我着实地送了口气 不用再考虑retake之类的麻烦事了

看来是上天眷顾 让我侥幸少了一大笔麻烦事…

这次成绩可意义重大 明年的课程毕竟比第一年难的多的多 无论是物理还是化学 都要克服语言+课程的双重难关

就凭本人的英语水平和背功… 我终于失去了对往日对化学的无限憧憬 彻底被踢入了数学爱好者的行列

假如物理化学什么的 突然给我得了个C或D 为了让我的前途一片光明 我只能咬牙选择重考

这样下来不给我整个瘫痪也差不多半残了 （当然 我在那边偶尔还是会学下的 也不能全算侥幸``）

 

其实学习的事我倒不是最关心的 后天一大早就出发 长达将近20个小时的经过各种运输工具的旅程就要开始了

因为最近又学了拉锯子 为了在那边除了电脑能有娱乐的东西另外顺便警告那些周围扰民的家伙们 以毒攻毒

（当我同舍听此消息顿时惊慌失措地说：不是吧……） 所以除了20+KG的箱子外 还要背这个家伙

不管怎么说 飞机还是要坐的 地铁还是要坐的 火车还是要坐的 出租车还是要坐的…

这种早已定好的命运咱凡人是改变不了的 唉``

 

在中国的日子已经很长了 但我没有好好珍惜 如果上天再给我一次机会的话 我估计我可能还是珍惜不起来

除了在家闲着又能做些什么呢 或许我也应该在阳台悠闲地望着窗外 感受阳光带来的温暖

But where s my wind, i can't see it, i can't feel it...

I can only say, time to say goodbye.

 

If everything is fine, I'll be back before Christmas.

Enjoy the last year of your high school life. Take care.
