PERSONAL STATEMENT:
In my opinion, languages seem to encapsulate an entirely different way of life waiting to be discovered
...
This curiosity towards French and Spanish has driven me to want to master these
languages
...
When reading 'Le Petit Prince' I was fascinated by how the prince's innocence
was portrayed; He admires the beauty of the stars and does not wonder what they are worth, in comparison to
the mathematician, which reflects a child’s excitement towards a pound coin, simply for its shiny surface
...
g
...
Following the 'Charlie Hebdo' massacre I became engrossed by how
the French humour was portrayed through their illustrations compared to that of the English media
...

Studying Chemistry and Mathematics alongside French has improved my eye for accuracy concerning grammar
and syntax
...
Examples of this include signing up to the 9-week 'Camp America' programme
and volunteering to educate poverty-stricken children in India
...

However, there are aspects of a language that cannot be learnt from a book
...
During the lessons, I came to understand how little the children knew about our country which
fuelled my desire to explore various cultures and break down international barriers
...
This proved an invaluable experience as conversations with the guests encouraged a flexible
mindset to work around language barriers
...
Employed as a
Sales Assistant at 'Next' PLC, I frequently offer to translate for a customer
...
e
...
I fully intend to become a full and active participant in several societies e
...
sports/ musical
groups, and feel I would successfully be able to lead these organisations, having been a Sport, French, Maths
and Charity Representative
...
My ultimate aim is to pursue a career in 'language
analysis' at 'GCHQ'
...
By studying French I particularly
wish to focus on my understanding of local dialects/ accents and explore the linguistics behind the language,
whilst also exploring the unique Hispanic cultures, including the contrast between Catalan and Spanish
language
