Self Introduction Letter
Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,
My name is Ng Wen Han and I'm currently a year 1 civil
engineering student in Singapore Institute of Technology. Allow me to use this
letter to introduce myself to you so that you can get to know me better. I was
an electronics student for 5 years, 2 years in Institute of Technical Education
and 3 years in Ngee Ann polytechnic. After completing my diploma, I made the
decision to stop electronics and pursued another field of profession which is
civil engineering. The reason for this change is because I would like to try
and experience another different field, preferably one which focuses on
hands-on experience and thus my search narrowed down to civil
engineering.
Growing up, I have always been very introverted hence I love
spending time alone or with my loved ones. During the weekend, I will take
short breaks from studying to play some video games and once in a while, go
down to have a short walk in the park with my partner. I appreciate and cherish
those moments as it will help me recharge before going back to school.
One of my strength in communication is to brainstorm for
ideas and solutions when needed. I love to contribute by providing suggestions
as this makes me feel included in the group or team. One of my weakness will be
presenting in front of a large crowd. Due to the crowd size, I sometimes find
myself feeling anxious and this could lead to me messing up my
presentation.
One of my goals from this module is to learn how to speak
confidently, be it in front of a large or small crowd. I believe being able to
speak confidently allows me to deliver the key points to my audience and I will
also be able to gain their trust. Another goal I would like to achieve is to be
able to write quality reports as this is crucial for all engineers. With a neat
and detailed report, readers will be able to capture the main objectives to
achieve the desired result. With that being said, I seek your kind help in
supporting me to achieve these 2 goals mentioned.
Thank you for your time and wish you a pleasant day ahead,
Ng Wen Han

Hi Wen Han
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your introductory email. This email has created a better insight for me to know u better. As someone who is introverted, I too was afraid to speak in front of huge crowds, which your experience is to somewhat relatable to me. Your meaningful and relatable story provides a personal and engaging touch. Overall this email demonstrates a clear and easy structure for users to read.
With that said, I look forward to learn together with you in this module this trimester

Hi wen han, I enjoyed reading your indroductory email and allowed me to understand u better. I have the same personality as you, and it's really challenging to speak up in class. Hope you build up your confidence through this module as well!

ReplyDeleteDear Wen Han,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this clear and detailed letter, which addresses most of the points of the brief. In it you discuss, for example, how your interest in engineering has evolved, from electronic to civil, but I'm curious how the ball started rolling toward engineering in the first place.
You also share how you have "always been very introverted." As I read that I wondered how it has impacted your comm skills. I understand that you may be shy to present in front of crowds. Have there been any other impacts?
You also share other info about your comm skills levels and discuss your aim to improve your public speaking and report writing. Rest assured that those areas will be covered in the project work/oral presentation in our module. :)
As for language use, this is a clear effort, but there is one sentence structure issue: Growing up, I have always been very introverted hence I love spending time alone or with my loved ones. > (run on sentence)
I look forward to working with you further this term.
Best wishes,
Brad
