内容正文:
I have studied for business qualifications at Peking University for one year.Faced with complex surroundings and dramatic changes, I suffered from tremendous pressure and overwhelming homesickness,1.which made me depressed in the beginning.But being an ambitious,optimistic and mature student, I managed to motivate myself to step out of my comfort zone.I grasped every chance to speak up and offer logical presentations in class,2.enabling (enable) myself to become competent.I got 3.involved (involve) in the Basketball Association so that I could learn to cooperate with others.I participated in some other meaningful activities and benefited much from the 4.participation (participate).There is no denying that all of them could make me see things from different angles and have more reasonable insights into daily affairs.As far as I'm concerned,5.exposed (expose) to the surrounding settings, I gradually felt at home.Now I can behave 6.perfectly (perfect) at university.Furthermore, because I was on a tight budget, I took up a position 7.as a tutor to cover my daily expenses and tuition fees, which cost an arm and a leg.Now my ambition is to become an advisor for exchange students 8.to broaden (broaden) my global perspective and improve my competence.Among so many applicants, I believe that I am 9.qualified (qualify) for the job because I have firm determination.10.Whatever the outcome is, I'll sincerely side with the school's decision.
