Dear Admissions Committee,
I am writing to express my sincere interest in the English Teaching program at Teachers
College, Columbia University. As someone who strongly believes in the importance of
language and literature, I'm excited to start my path toward becoming an English
teacher and helping shape the minds of future generations.
My name is Yoliver Alberto Batista Gonzalez, and I've always been amazed by how
much teachers can change students' lives. Since I was young, I've loved reading books
and found comfort, motivation, and confidence in them. That love for stories made me
want to become a teacher so I could share that joy with others.
Throughout my academic journey, I've always worked hard to do well in my classes and
activities outside of class. I've gotten really good at talking and writing, which I think is
important for being a good teacher. Also, tutoring and mentoring others have helped me
learn how to teach in different ways to help all kinds of students.
What truly sets me apart as a candidate is how much I care about making sure
everyone feels welcome and supported in their learning. I really believe that every
student can do great things, and I want to help them see that for themselves. Whether
it's trying new ways of teaching, giving each student special help, or making sure
everyone feels like they belong, I'm committed to helping my students do well in school
and in life.
I am particularly interested in Teachers College, Columbia University because they're
known for training great teachers and for making sure everyone feels welcome on
campus. I'm excited to dive into the challenging classes and practical teaching
opportunities they offer, because I know they'll help me become a fantastic English
teacher.
In closing, I am incredibly excited about the chance to be part of the English Teaching
program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and to add to its amazing academic
atmosphere. I believe my enthusiasm, hard work, and desire to make a positive impact
will be a great benefit to your program.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of further
discussing how I can be part of the great learning experience at Teachers College,
Columbia University.
Sincerely,
Yoliver Alberto Batista Gonzalez
Giving a speech
Hello everyone, honored guests, and fellow students,
Today, I stand before you to talk about a topic that's really important to me: the value of
working hard and making English as a part of our lives when comes to language
learning.
Learning a language isn't just about memorizing words or doing grammar exercises. It's
about putting in the effort, sticking with it even when it gets tough, and making English a
natural part of our daily routines.
So why English? Well, it's not just another language. It's like a key that unlocks so many
doors. It opens up opportunities for education, jobs, and connecting with people from all
over the world. Plus, it helps us understand different cultures and express ourselves
better.
But how do we actually make English a part of our lives? It starts with changing our
mindset. Instead of seeing it as a chore, let's think of it as an adventure. We can read
books, watch movies, listen to music, or chat with friends in English to practice.
And let's not forget to include English into our everyday lives. Whether it's setting aside
time to practice or chatting with English-speaking friends, every step, it’s a step closer to
get better.
So, let's get serious and dive into this journey of learning English together. It might be
challenging at times, but the rewards are totally worth it.
Thanks for listening!
