Self Introduction

Subject: Self introduction

Dear Professor,

My name is Hou Yang and I am writing this to you to let you know more about me. I was graduated from Temasek Polytechnic this year with a diploma in Aerospace Electronics. My hobby is to watch Japanese anime and learn about their culture. Although I never been to Japan, I love the culture and environment of the country. Moreover, one of my Cross Disciplinary Subject (CDS) in polytechnic is Japanese Language.

Since I am a foreigner, I do not have to serve national service, thus I considered to further my studies. During the open house, I was attracted by the IWSP which offers by SIT, because I felt that the polytechnic internship was really useful and allow me to apply the knowledge that I learnt from my modules into real life application. Not only that, experience also can be gained from the guiding of my supervisor and colleges. Therefore, I believe the IWSP will enhance the academic studies by putting them into workplace.

My weakness in communication is that English was my weakest subject since primary school. Since my first language is Chinese and my family also communicates in Chinese, these make me harder to pronounce English. Also, I’m not so confident in speaking in English. The Strength I have in communication is that I am willing to interact with people.

My goal for this Effective Communication module is to improve my communication and writing skills, as well as building up confidence. I found that is it very important to communicate and write well especially during work, as I often need to discuss with my supervisor and colleague and send emails to customers and suppliers. I believe this skill will be useful in life.

I hope this module will help me to enhance my skills in communication and writing.

Best regards,

Hou Yang
