Introductory Letter


Subject: Self Introduction

Dear Professor Brad

My name is Haziq Isyraq Shah and I am currently pursuing a degree in telematics in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT). Previously, I was a student from Singapore Polytechnic (SP) and graduated with a Diploma in electrical and electronic engineering specialising in computer and communication engineering.

My passion in engineering and Information Technology (IT) sparked at a very young age. I was always curious, taking apart electronic items such as phones and printers just to know how the electrical components are linked together. This curiosity bloomed and gave me reason to pursue a Diploma in Engineering and continue to pursue a degree in the discipline of  Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and engineering. I believe with the knowledge that I receive from the telematics degree programme, I would be able to sate my curiosity and help transform Singapore to become a smart nation.

Having went through National Service, being able to communicate in a team is very important. Many a times, I have been praised by my superiors for taking the initiative to manage a team to get certain projects done. When doing a project, I believe that time management and dividing the task base on each individual strength plays an important role. Due to this, I was able to get projects after projects done with the best quality.

However, as I usually work well in a small group, I lack the skills to speak to a larger crowd especially if I am not prepared. This was made known to me went I had to give a speech in front of my school 10 minutes prior to it. When the time came, I had cold feet, I stutter my words and could not even make eye contact with the crowd. From that point on, I knew that public speaking is a skill that I need to work on.

In this module, I hope to be able to improve my team communication skills and to better prepare myself in public speaking.

Best Regards,

Haziq Isyraq Shah

    Dear Haziq,

    Thank you for this generally clear, coherent and complete self introduction. You've followed the model presented in class quite closely and produced a letter that addresses the task requirements with decent detail. I appreciate, for example, the explanation of your interest in IT and engineering, from a young age and I applaud the focused, open review of your strengths and weaknesses in communication. One question I have is related to your project work. Could you give a specific example?

    It is also good to know that you have clear goals for your work in the module. I'm certain we can address each of yours. Of course, refining students' skills is the heart of this module. Toward that end, for this letter, though it is well written, you need to review the following:

    1. sentence structure
    -- Having went through National Service, being able to communicate in a team is very important. > (Who went through National Service? What is the maon subject of this sentence?)

    2. some lack of consistency in terms of capitalization
    see https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/capital.asp

    3. word forms/phrasing
    -- I was able to get projects after projects done with the best quality. > ?
    -- When the time came, I had cold feet, I stutter my words and could not even make eye contact with the crowd. > (lack of parallel verb tense structure)

    I look forward to reading more from you this term.

    Cheers,

    Brad
