ESSAY 6：Discuss your interest in international studies and business 。How might this degree program in liberal arts， language and business help met you goal？（500 words）

（The Huntsman Program in International Studies & Business is Penn's 40 course unit, joint degree, undergraduate program in business, language and liberal arts.）

My love for foreign languages and success in learning them have worked together in the stimulation of my interest in the joint degree of Huntsman Program.

Dongbei Yucai School---the best middle school in Shenyang---has provided me with first-rate conditions for foreign language study. Consequently, while still a third-grader of junior middle school in 2000, I passed the CET4 (College English Test Band Four), which is a required examination for all college undergraduates before their graduation.

This success has encouraged me enormously in my foreign language studies. On graduation, I was offered two choices without entrance exams: either to go to the senior middle school famous for training contestants in science competitions, or go to the foreign languages school newly established to suit the situation of internalization. Due to my success in CET4 and the greatest likelihood of China's entrance into the WTO, I chose the latter without any hesitations.

I have kept the momentum of success in senior middle school. In 2001 when I was still a second-year student I was awarded the honorable prize in the Ninth National English Proficiency Competition for School Students, in which I ranked the seventh among 80,000 students from almost 1,000 middle schools in the city in which I lived.

I started learning Japanese the moment I entered the Foreign Languages School. In the second year I passed the internationally authorized test of Japanese Language Proficiency band 2, which means I already had the same language competence as those native Japanese students in senior middle school. On account of all my achievements in the past, my teachers have unanimously acknowledged my competence in foreign languages.

A good command of foreign languages has enabled me to communicate with foreign visitors, teachers and classmates. Once a visitor from South Korea lost his way and luckily I was able to help him because we both speak Japanese. This kind of communications has widened my vision and aroused my interest in international studies.

China's ultimate entrance into the WTO is a cogent manifestation of my wisdom in choosing to study foreign languages. Besides, it demands more from today's youths. To meet the requirements of international contact, one must have professional knowledge besides foreign languages. That is why I have aimed at learning international business. I think I am qualified for that considering my advantage in language learning and my ability in organization, which is fully displayed in my daily activities.

Thanks to my father's professional experience of business and his constant teaching, I have already acquired the elementary knowledge of this field. The most important thing I have learned is that unlike established and rigid rules and formulas, business is noted for incessant changes. To gain the practical know-how, I worked in a computer company during my summer vacation. I found that a printer would sell at 680 Yuan by cash but at 690 Yuan on account day of the computer market. The loss of temporary profits guaranteed the circulation of fund. This kind of knowledge picked up outside class fills me with amazement and fun.

I know that to be a successful businessman, I need to broaden my learning in addition to the knowledge of business. The liberal arts course of Huntsman Program offers me this opportunity. I believe that it will pave the way for my future success in international business and communications in the rapid economic development after China's entrance into the WTO.
