During analysis of data for the Formal report, I always have a concern that I am on a right track and the data that I have collected is reliable. After reading other student’s formal report, I understand how to re-create and re-arrange data. I found out that data analysis is the process of distilling large quantities of information. It seems that data analysis such as survey questions process is a core part of formal research report. Research direction and its result can be varied depending on how a researcher translates information. In addition, choosing the right thesis was difficult for me because I had so much information I wanted to share and talk about and I did not know how to pick just one and go with that. Organizing the material for my paper to support my thesis was not too difficult since I had plenty of information and material. I found that importance of translation of data to provide clarity and enhance stakeholder understandings of issues and events. To enable these things, a researcher needs to identify significant issues or experiences, identify major hallmarks of those issues and experiences, and make connections between similarities and differences among the data. Through the process of data analysis, data can be transformed into valuable and readable information. During data analysis process, I found an interesting thing. All the data that I collected have connections since they are tied with one topic. The exercises of brainstorming, drafting, revising and peer review were a huge help. I was able to see what other people thought of my work and that they could give me good feedback to improve my work. Finally, I realized that the formal report is a process through data gathering, analysis, arrangement, and reporting that should consider various readers’ thoughts, status, experiences, and perspectives. For a significant research paper, it is important not to forget the purpose and direction of the research.

Subject: Proposal for job information center for international student in UBC campus

Introduction

The international students experience extreme difficulties when they try to get a job in Canada. However, there is no information center to help the international students to get a job in UBC.

Statement of Problems UBC tries to attract more international students than before as a business, they tend not to care their students after graduation. By making the job information center for the international students that informs the students which company hires the international students who can speak two languages or hires the international students without discrimination related to the working visa, the international students would be more competitive and it would be great for UBC as well.

Problems

Many international students are studying in UBC and many of them want to get a job in Canada. However, it is not easy for ESL students to get a job with low quality English skill. Moreover, due to the financial crisis, the regulation of hiring ESL students became very strict compared to before.

Proposed solution

If new job information center build, not only international students, also UBC will get advantages. There are several reasons that why UBC also get advantages. First, if new job information center helps to get job for international students, students that are more international will be interested in getting into UBC. Most of international students want to get a job in the Canada that UBC can help their opportunities. The second reason for why UBC has to make new job information center is that UBC could help more international students about more information than now.

Scope

In order to determine the feasibility of Job center for international student, I plan to examine:

• How to provide job information for international students?
• How UBC will hire specific advisors to give the information to international students?
• Is there possibilities to find the company where they want to hire bilingual or trilingual students?
• Is it possible to train students until they have ability to compete with Canadian students?
• How will UBC find the companies that supports the international students as the visa sponsor?

Method

To answer this question, I plan to meet international student’s communities and conduct surveys with them. I will make sure these surveys are completed by a range of big number of the population with more than five different nationalities and different locations and different years. I will also conduct interviews with job centers in UBC for gather how to find companies that can help international students and useful websites.

My Qualification

As an international students and graduating next year, I have had many difficult times to find jobs and found out that there are not enough information for international students.  I am a member of Korean UBC student association group, I can distribute my survey to my members, and our group has good relationships with Chinese’s association and Japanese’s association so I can find ways to distribute my surveys.

Conclusion

The lack of international students’ job information center in UBC has caused a big trouble for international students. Students are having a hard time to find a job after they graduate and only way they can do is just go back to their origin country even though they want to work in the Canada. In order to solve this problem, UBC has to provide additional job information that is useful and appropriate for student with several specific advisers to give students advice when they have problems.

310 Seungjaecheon Application Letter

English 301 Students
University of British Columbia
Vancouver, BC

Dear English 301 classmates.

I am happy to apply to become part of a writing team and we will be helping and reviewing our writing skills.

First, I have outstanding skills in writing. In particular, I know well how to gather people’s attention and what kind of writing style young people love. These are significant elements in recent times: many people dislike reading tedious magazines or newspapers.

Second, I have strong passion in writing. In fact, my interest in writing went back to my childhood. When I was little, my homeroom teachers always emphasized the importance of reading and writing. At that time, however, I was too young to know the real value of them so I just read any books as fast as I can. Then one day I got a homework writing a letter to the main character of my book. At that moment, I realized that my way of reading is not helpful at all. That is why I started reading books much more carefully and writing with all my efforts.

Third, I have various resources for writing. In my school days, I learned some musical instruments: piano, cello, and flute. I also learned Calligraphy for peace of my mind. I was a member of Korean Youth Association, so I had many chances to do volunteer works. In addition, I love traveling around anywhere, so I can experience new things continuously and learn different point of views. All these things make my writing appealing.

             I am prepared for contributing good efforts to an English 301 team. If you wish to form a group with me, please feel free to reach out at jk82017@gmail.com
