The application process varies from country to country. If youre looking for a university with a strong international outlook but feel swept over风靡，眺望，向-扩展 by all the application options, here is some guidance to get you started. UK International students must apply to universities in the UK through a system known as Ucas. This system allows students to apply to up to five universities with just one application. It costs 20 for a single choice or 25 for more than one choice. The application consists of a series of questions to determine the students schooling and predicted grades. The biggest part of the application form is the personal statement, in which applicants should describe their personal interests and related experiences. Switzerland Switzerland has four official languages and is bordered by five countries so it is no surprise that its universities are among the most international in the world. International applicants may need to take an entrance exam if they have a foreign school certificate, and must also prove that they have a good grasp of the French language, usually through taking a language exam. The full application costs 50 Swiss Francs for a holder of a Swiss diploma and 150 Swiss Francs for holders of foreign diplomas.特许证 Canada International applicants have to write up a personal profile as part of their application, which is very similar to the personal statement required for a UK university application. Students will also have to prove their English-language competencythere are nine ways to meet the English Language Admission Standard, which are listed on many university websites. Singapore The process of applying to a Singaporean university is very much alike, but overseas students may be delighted to find that the domestic applicants have to cover the same procedures: filling out an online application form and submit identification documents, supporting documents and an application fee of S$20. 21.

B One day after more than a month of classes, I read aloud a paragraph from my book, recognizing all of the characters smoothly except for one. I sat back and started to register the achievement: I was actually reading Chinese. The language was starting to make sense. But before the sense of satisfaction was half formed, Teacher Liao said, “Budui!” It meant, literally, “Not correct.” You could also translate it as no, wrong, nope, uh-uh. Flatly 完全地and clearly incorrect. There were many Chinese words that I didnt know, but I knew that one well. A voice in my head whined: All of the rest of them were right; isnt that worth something? But for Teacher Liao it didnt work like that. If one character was wrong it was simply budui. “Whats this word?” I asked, pointing at the character I had missed. “Zhe the zhe in Zhejiang.” “Third tone?” “Fourth tone.” I breathed deeply and read the section again, and this time I did it perfectly. That was a victory I turned to Teacher Liao and my eyes said (or at least I imagined them saying): How do you like me now? There seemed to be some satisfaction in her eyes, but she simply said, “Read the next one.” It was her way of teaching. Success was expected and failure criticized and immediately corrected. You were right or you were budui; there was no middle ground. I grew to hate budui. The bu was a rising tone and the dui dropped abruptly, 突然地like building my confidence and then breaking down all at once. And it bothered me all the more更加，格外 because I knew that Teacher Liao was only telling the truth: everything I did with the language was budui. I was an adult, and as an adult I should be able to accept criticism where it was needed.

In China, the single B on the report card matters much more than all the As that surround it. Keep working; you havent achieved anything yet. And so I studied. I was frustrated but I was also
