Second, the main points of writing
(1) Introduce yourself
1. Tell me about your educational experience.
2. Introduce your hobbies.
3. Introduce parents' work, family and income. (Reflect that the family has certain economic ability)
4. Introduce your parents' understanding of Korea.
In my introduction, the professor will know about the students' previous growth experience and learning environment, which is the starting point for understanding students.
(2) Motivation for admission
1, don't talk about Sino-Korean friendship;
2. Suggest from the big picture to the novel, why do you want to go to graduate school, why do you want to go to Korea for graduate school, why do you want to go to XX University for graduate school, why do you want to choose this major, and so on;
3. Pay attention to authenticity and logic.
In terms of enrollment motivation, the professor will know how much students know about the professor's own research field, whether they have done it before, and whether the intended research direction after enrollment is consistent with the professor's own research direction.
(3) Academic plan
Start from a small direction, and finally sum up your overall thinking, that is, if you enter xx University for undergraduate study, what are your plans for the first semester, the second semester, and the third and fourth semesters. What level do you want to achieve after the whole study and what plans do you have after graduation, so that the professor feels that you are a modern young man with plans and ideas.
In the academic plan, the professor will learn about the students' academic plan after entering school and see if the academic plan is feasible and capable of completing their studies.
To sum up, the core documents will help professors understand students' logical thinking ability and writing ability. Students should pay attention to writing their own real situation when writing, and don't copy it online. Special attention should be paid to writing in combination with other materials provided by yourself, and there must be no inconsistency between the situation in self-introduction and the materials provided by yourself. For example, if your parents are divorced, then don't write in your self-introduction that I have a harmonious and warm family. You can write that although my parents are separated, they all love me very much.
In addition, hobbies can be briefly introduced without lengthy discussion. You can write more hobbies related to study.
More importantly, after all, our self-introduction is to study in Korea, so we must show our understanding of Korea and our family, like Korea, and write that your parents support you to study abroad, and your family has enough economic conditions to pay for your study abroad.
A particularly important question is, try not to show your intention to go to work, and don't write how long you have been to Korea and how long you will go to work, even if it is work-study program or work-study program. Students don't have to worry about working. After half a year, they can work legally and get a legal work permit. But don't cash out and say that you are going to study abroad.
Further reading: What card should I apply for studying in Korea?
I. Bank card
Mobile payment is not popular in Korea, and most people prefer to use bank cards to spend money, so they don't need to bring a lot of money out, and their security will be guaranteed. So when they arrive, they need to apply for a local bank card to adapt to consumption.
We must choose big banks with guaranteed credit, such as Youli, Asiana and Guo Min. It will be more convenient for everyone to handle business, and the handling of these banks will be simple. Basically, there will be no additional regulations, as long as you bring your own identification.
Freshmen need to prepare landing cards, passports, student ID cards and bring small change. After the card is completed, they need to deposit a certain amount of cash to activate it. Remember to change the password at the same time, so as not to leave any hidden dangers, and at the same time, there are more discounts when using it.
Second, the calling card.
It is definitely not cost-effective to use a domestic card in Korea. Although you can buy anonymous temporary cards in China, as an international student, you have to stay in Korea for a long time. Communication and mobile phone cards are indispensable, so we must do it as soon as possible.
I also suggest that you choose a bigger company, not only the service will be better and more thoughtful, but also the experience of signal will be much better. SK, KT and LG are all very good. You have to go to the business hall to get a card, bring your own identification, and you have to have your real name to defend your rights.
Third, the traffic card
Most vehicles in Korea can use the transportation card to swipe their cards, whether it is short-distance buses, subways, long-distance buses or trains, as long as there is enough money in the card, they can also swipe their cards directly without buying extra tickets, which can save time.
There will be a discount for students to apply for a card, which is also very convenient for everyone. Generally, they will have a special window when they enter the school. You can apply directly with proof and cash under guidance. Even if the real name registration system is lost, you can apply for a replacement.
When you apply for a bank card, you can also smell the function of working people opening a transportation card. If there are related functions, it can be directly activated as a transportation card, which will be more convenient without additional cards.

I. Clothing
The weather in Korea is similar to that in China. You can bring some clothes from China, but don't bring too much, because you must buy clothes in Korea. There are many kinds of clothes in Korea, and they are in line with the style of young people. Generally, clothes are very cheap, and many people even go to Korea to buy clothes. In Korea, clothes are usually bought near schools or underground commercial streets. Online shopping is also very convenient, and there are many discounts. More people are willing to buy clothes online, and they can also buy clothes cheaper than physical stores.
Second, food.
Koreans like fried chicken and soup. Korean food outside Korea is generally more expensive. Students can eat in the canteen every day, which will be very cheap. If they can cook, they can cook by themselves.
Third, live.
There are the following types of accommodation for studying in Korea:
1, examination institute
It used to be a house for students who took various exams. Generally speaking, the house is small, but there are still some facilities, such as beds, tables and televisions. Most facilities are shared by many people. If you don't want to share them with others, you have to pay more rent. You don't need to pay a deposit to rent a house here. This kind of house is very cheap. Generally, there are no windows, and those with windows are a little more expensive.
2. Host family
Host families live with local Koreans and rent a room from them. Everything else is shared. You're like a member of their family. This kind of rental is also cheaper. Living with them can improve your Korean, and the landlord will prepare meals for you all day. You don't have to worry about eating, concentrate on your studies. This kind of renting is also unnecessary.
Step 3 rent a house
Renting a house means renting a separate room with its own bathroom and kitchen. Just like renting a house in China, you have to pay the rent on time every month and pay the utilities. This requires a deposit, which is equivalent to a domestic deposit. Your house will be returned to you in full when it expires.
Fourth, ok
There are many bus and subway trips in Korea. You can buy a T-money card, which can be used for bus and subway trips and supermarket shopping.

South Korea has issued a study abroad program, which will lead to the expansion of university enrollment, and various schools will also attract outstanding students.

Korean universities pay more and more attention to bilingual (Korean+English) teaching, which means that if Korean is average and English is good, you can apply for a good scholarship.

You can also apply for more than 0 scholarships, especially in finance, trade, diplomacy and other majors. It is necessary to get good grades in English.

If the recommendation letter is well written, the study plan is very detailed, and a strong desire to learn is expressed, the professor will be interested in you after reading it and will give you a scholarship.
The graduate school has a strong background.
South Korea is our neighbor, so we will know more about China's education system and schools. If your graduation school is famous, or your graduation school is particularly famous in some way, we can write it down. This will give you extra points and make it easier to apply for a scholarship. In addition, if you have the opportunity to interview professors, you can also increase the chances of applying.

Of course, Korean colleges and universities review not only the final exam results, but also everyone's performance in class and usual exam results, including attendance, activity and homework completion. , are the key points.
