Modern Languages (French and Spanish) Personal Statement 现代语言（法语和西班牙语）个人陈述 I have been fortunate enough to spend over 1,000 days of my life in France; the country has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. The ability to communicate is a key skill in today’s world and studying an additional language is a perfect opportunity to enhance my knowledge of France and explore the new culture of Spain. I find having long conversations with friends in French particularly satisfying and fulfilling and for later business ventures I see fluency as the most vital ingredient. Having spent many holidays in both France and Spain I have found it intriguing to see how two countries that are so close have such different cultures, and I am very much looking forward to extending my knowledge of the two countries’ way of life. 我有幸在法国度过了1000多天的人生；从我记事起，这个国家就一直是我的一部分。沟通能力是当今世界的一项关键技能，学习一门额外的语言是提高我对法国知识和探索西班牙新文化的绝佳机会。我发现用法语与朋友长时间交谈特别令人满意和满足，对于以后的商业冒险，我认为流利是最重要的因素。在法国和西班牙度过了许多假期后，我发现这两个如此亲密的国家是如何拥有如此不同的文化的，这很有趣，我非常期待扩大我对两国生活方式的了解。 My deeper understanding of the French language was honed during my term spent at Sauveterrre boarding school in South West France. There was a low tolerance for speaking English, so I discovered my passion for language while learning French history, science, maths, literature and culture. I also performed in a production of Jules Verne’s ‘Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours’. As well as learning the value of independence, my French speaking and cultural knowledge improved dramatically and it was the best ten weeks of my life. I am excited to continue learning about these aspects at university. The year abroad is what I am particularly looking forward to, as I have found that immersing myself in the language has been the most productive learning tool for me. To support this I enjoy the French Literature club. Having studied Camus’ ‘L’étranger’, I was intrigued to read some of his other work. His idea of punishment being a part of the human condition in ‘Le Mythe de Sisyphe’ is a concept exemplified in Mersault’s being condemned to death. The link I drew between the two is that Mersault is like Sisyphus, the absurd hero, in the way that he looks at life in permanent indifference, wanting no more or less from his surroundings. The theme of existentialism reminded me of Bertrand Russell, whom I have studied in Philosophy, who said “I should say that the universe is just there and that is all”. 在法国西南部的Sauveterrre寄宿学校学习期间，我对法语有了更深的理解。人们对说英语的容忍度很低，所以我在学习法国历史、科学、数学、文学和文化时发现了自己对语言的热情。我还表演了儒勒·凡尔纳的《世界巡回演唱会》。除了学习独立的价值，我的法语和文化知识也有了显著的提高，这是我一生中最美好的十周。我很高兴能在大学里继续学习这些方面的知识。出国一年是我特别期待的一年，因为我发现沉浸在语言中是我最有效的学习工具。为了支持这一点，我喜欢法国文学俱乐部。在研究了加缪的《Létranger》之后，我很想读一读他的其他作品。他在《西西弗神话》中认为惩罚是人类状况的一部分，这一概念在默索被判处死刑中得到了体现。我将两者联系起来的是，默索就像西西弗斯，一个荒谬的英雄，他以永久的冷漠看待生活，或多或少不想从周围的环境中得到任何东西。存在主义的主题让我想起了我在哲学领域学习过的伯特兰·罗素，他说“我应该说宇宙就在那里，仅此而已”。 I take part in French debating club, in which one of our debates discussed the national motto, ‘Liberté, égalité, fraternité’, and whether instances such as Charlie Hebdo, where freedom of speech was disrespected, beg to question if these ideologies really underly in French society. Moreover, French laws on Islamic headdress undermines the principle of equality. Watching ‘La Haine’ proved to me further that there is segregation between the French people, undermining the aspect of fraternity. Our team take part in a debating contest next year. I have also had opportunities in a playwriting course, in which I titled my first play ‘Chateau Terrible’, inspired by my french neighbour. 我参加了法国辩论俱乐部，在那里，我们的一场辩论讨论了国家格言“自由、平等、兄弟会”，以及像《查理周刊》这样不尊重言论自由的例子是否让人质疑这些意识形态是否真的是法国社会的基础。此外，法国关于伊斯兰头饰的法律破坏了平等原则。观看《拉海恩》进一步向我证明了法国人之间存在种族隔离，破坏了博爱的一面。我们队明年参加辩论赛。我也有机会参加剧本写作课程，在课程中，我的第一部剧本被命名为《可怕的城堡》，灵感来自我的法国邻居。 I have always placed a very strong emphasis on sport, both competitively and as a way to unwind. I have taken part in the school’s 1st hockey team, I like to ski and play tennis, squash and real tennis (Jeu de Paume), but my overall love is wakeboarding. I also volunteer at a local nursery school which has taught me patience that is necessary when taking on new challenges like languages. I organised a quiz night which raised 250 pounds for a Ugandan children’s charity and additionally took part in a sponsored bike ride. I hope to visit Uganda at a later date to meet the people I have been in contact with at an orphanage there, enhancing my connection with different cultures around the world. South America has many interesting places to see like the Galápagos Islands and Machu Picchu, which have always hoped to visit. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/9d0b5fa0b84cf7ec4afe04a1b0717fd5360cb2cc.html
