Introduction letter

 Dear Professor Brad,

I hope that you are well and in the pink of health. It has been a pleasure to sit in your communication skills module. Your lessons were engaging and has been very insightful. As a timid and shy 1^st year student, of the Mechanical Engineering course, I really benefit from this communication skills module.

I am writing to introduce my humble self. I graduated from Nanyang Polytechnic in 2021 with a Diploma in Biomedical Engineering. My interest in engineering developed during my internship. The 6 months internship in a medical manufacturing company made me realised my strength and aptitude towards engineering. I was in sync with the idea of promoting and manufacturing medical products.

I believe that communication skills are essential in our daily lives and plays a part in leaving behind an impression of our intelligence. I strongly believe that my strength in communication is my confidence. I seemed to gain confidence from experiences doing public speaking to the point where I can speak confidently of a topic that I am not very sure off. I also learned that when you are confident, audiences will believe you. However, my weakness in communication which I hope to overcome is my lack of vocabulary. I wish to learn more synonyms as a personal improvement to sound more knowledgeable. I extremely wish to stop using Singlish as well, this is a bad habit of mine.

I have two goals in mind that I hope to achieve during communication lesson. First, I want to relearn all the skills and materials that you are teaching. This allows me to learn things that I was weak at and also things that I didn’t even knew. It is the learning mindset to be excited and gain all the knowledge that you going to teach. Secondly, I would want to pay attention to how you speak, you as in Professor Brad. This is because I feel that you are a role model for me to listen to and apply how you speak in class for my communications.

What differentiates me from the other students in the class is that I am an all rounder. Name it all, well at least most of it. I do sports, I play instruments, I’m into real estates, I love shopping, I participate in competitions often, I’m a leader too.

I hope you enjoyed reading! It was nice meeting you professor Brad. I can’t wait to learn as much during your lesson !

Thank you Professor Brad!                    

Paraphrase of task 3

Evolving outstanding oratorical skills is vital to effective leadership. It is imperative that a leader can deliver information clearly to invoke a sense of urgency and passion to others. A message becomes meaningless if a leader is unable to get it across clearly and motivate others to act upon it.
