研究生入學自我介紹

Good morning, teachers and my fellow students. My name is Paul. I've always been very interested in journalism, and have worked very hard at studying throughout my four years of college. Unfortunately, the more I've learned, the more I began to realize that I still don't know enough to do research by myself. I think I still need a lot more practical experience to make what I 've learned in the classroom more realistic. So I decided to pursue advanced study at the Columbia University, which I believe is the idea place for me to get what I need. I hope that I can do a good job in my pursuits.

老師、同學們早，我叫保羅。我一直對新聞學很感興趣，在我四年的大學生活中也一直很努力地在學習。但不幸的是，我學得越多，就越發瞭解到我所知道的仍然不足以獨立做研究。我想我還需要更多實際的經驗，以使我在課堂上所學到的知識更為實際。因此我決定來哥倫比亞大學深造，我相信這是一所理想的學府，能讓我得到我所需要的東西，也希望我能做好我的研究工作。
