Dear Mr. Cater,

I am now a full-time graduate student in the School of Civil Engineering, my major in geotechnical engineering. It is expected to receive a master's degree in July 2020. I am very much interested in pursuing a doctor’s degree in numerical modeling and forecasting methods at the Geotechnical Department of University of Sydney. From my review of graduate programs and discussion with my professors, I find that University of Sydney has the largest college geotechnical technology team in the Australiawith a large academic and support staff. The scientific study of geotechnical engineering study for several years and the deeper yearning inspired me to challenge a doctorate in rock soil. Because I want to become a successful scientist. If possible, I intend to enter in the autumn of 2020.

In my postgraduate years, I have worked hard and attended academic meetings. As you can see from my curriculum vitae, my grade points of major courses is 4.3/5.0 and I have remained top 5% of about 100 students.I once attended the meeting that a Chinese-American scientist Professor Genhua Shi exchanged about "the present and future of engineering numerical methods" at Shandong University. I have been working on crack propagation with my graduate teacher, and we are recognized by the industry. On the one hand because of my excellence in study and research, I have been awarded scholarships several times. On the other,I have published articles on numerical simulation in some core journals.Furthermore,I am preparing for the exams of CET 6 (College English Test-6) and TOEFL. I believe I can pass .

I would be grateful if you would send me the application forms for admission and financial support at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your consideration.

I look forward to your early reply.

Sincerely yours,

Tao Gao
