The scholarship will fund my education to study Mandarin at a Chinese university for one year. The three universities I have chosen are Peking University, Tianjin University and Beijing Jiaotong University. My first choice is Peking University. Being the university with the longest history in teaching the Chinese language to foreign students in China, Peking University continues to build on its heritage playing a leading role in teaching Chinese. At present I am reading the ‘Chinese Breeze’ series (a series of story books designed for Chinese language learners) published by Peking University Press. Peking University’s teaching methods, facilities and rich literature will be a key enabler in facilitating me to unfold my potential.
