Self-introduction e-mail
Subject: Self-introduction
Dear Professor Brad Blackstone,
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Chung Zhi Sheng, and I am one of your students in the critical thinking and communicating module. Having graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a Diploma in Civil Engineering, I decided to pursue a civil engineering degree conferred by the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT).
My interest in civil engineering is driven by my desire to contribute to the development of new infrastructure that can positively impact society. I believe that this module will provide me with the necessary skills to communicate my ideas more effectively, which is essential in the field of civil engineering.
In terms of my communication strengths, I believe that I am clear and concise in conveying information. For instance, I can break down complex ideas into easily digestible chunks, focusing on the most important points and avoiding unnecessary jargon. This is particularly helpful when communicating with audiences who may not have a deep understanding of the topic at hand. Having said that, I do have a specific area of weakness, which is my public speaking skills. While presenting to a large audience, I tend to stutter and lose my thoughts due to anxiety. My goal for this module is to conquer my fear of public speaking and be on time for all lessons.
Lastly, what differentiates me from others is my passion for a sustainable future. I believe that civil engineering can play a significant role in creating a more sustainable future, and I am committed to contributing to this cause. I aim to utilize the skills I acquire from this module to effectively communicate my ideas to promote sustainable engineering practices.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to learning from you in this module.
Best regards,
Zhi Sheng
