Tell us about your academic goals, circumstances that may have had an impact on your academic performance，and, in general, anything else you would like us to know in making an admission decision.
In China, we are never short of news, even explosive news. I am concerned about what is happening in my motherland because I hope I can see through China and change it into a better country. That is one of the reasons why I want to study economics. I choose economics as my major not because I want to earn money for myself, but because I want to do something for my country, to make people live a better life. There are many economic issues that closely related to ordinary people and the sky rocketing prices of housing in China is one of them.
It is impossible nowadays for young people in China, especially those from big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, to afford an apartment by themselves. In Beijing it is not even possible with the support of parents. The problem is partly caused by the large population and the transitional situation in China. The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming larger and larger. The government, having the intention of lowering people，s aspiration of buying houses, has not figured out how to control the housing market effectively.
In the past few years, I have been reading reports from different media inside and outside China in order to get a more reasonable understanding of the issue. It concerns every citizen in China and affects the stability of the whole society. While the developers are earning more and more money, ordinary people are bearing heavy
economic burdens. I have seen many young people feeling depressed and couples break up because of the problem.
Therefore, I want to bring a change to the current situation. I know it is a difficult problem and I cannot solve the problem with my own power. But I am willing to do my own bit to make young people live a free, easy life, and to make parents enjoy their peaceftil life.
【未来】
中国永远不缺少新闻，也不缺少爆炸性新闻。我很关心在中国的土地上发生的事情因为我希望我能够更了解它，让它变得更好。这是我为什么想要学习经济的原因之一。我选择经济作为我的专业并不是因为我想要为自己赚更多的财富，而是希望能够帮助人们过上更好的生活。很多经济问题都和寻常百姓息息相关，而中国不断攀升的房价就是其中之一。
现在中国的年轻人很难能够依靠自己的能力买房子，特别是在像北京和上海这样的大城市生活的年轻人就更加困难。在北京，如果没有父母的资助的话，买房子几乎是件不可能的事情。这个问题一部分是由于中国过于庞大的人口和城市化进程造成的。中国的贫富差距在不断地扩大。政府想要降低人们购买房子的意愿，然而却没能找出一个有效的方法来调控房地产市场。
在过去的几年中，我一直在关注中国媒体和国外媒体对中国房地产市场的报道，以期对这个问题有着更加理性的理解。这个问题关系着中国的每个公民，并且影响着整个社会的稳定。当房地产开发商积 累起越来越多的财富，普通百姓却承担者越来越重的经济负担。我曾经见到过很多年轻人沮丧的神情，也曾目睹很多情侣因为房子的问题而分道扬镳。
因此，我希望能够改变中国房地产行业的现状。我知道这是一个很复杂的问题，我也没办法依靠自 己的力量去解决它。但是我愿意做出自己的努力，帮助年轻人过上更加轻松自由的生活，让他们的父母过上更加平静的生活。
