Step by Step Written Solution
In this worksheet, we have two tasks: writing a formal scholarship application letter and paraphrasing several sentences. Let's tackle them one by one.
Writing & Paraphrasing Practice
First, the scholarship letter. A formal letter requires specific structural elements. We'll start with the sender's address and the salutation.
1. Scholarship Letter Structure
Address of the sender:
*Your Full Name*
*Street Address*
*City, Postal Code*
Salutation:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Next, we move to the basic information and the reason for writing. This should clearly state who you are and why you are applying for the scholarship.
Basic info and reason:
I am writing to formally apply for the undergraduate scholarship program at Türkiye Scholarships. As a high-achieving student with a passion for engineering, I believe this opportunity will allow me to further my academic goals.
Then, we describe our expectations. We want to show what we hope to achieve through this scholarship.
Your Expectation:
I expect to gain world-class education and cultural exchange through your institution. I hope to contribute to my community and strengthen the ties between our countries through my future professional work.
Finally, we end with a formal closing.
Closing:
Sincerely, [Your Name]
Now, let's move on to the second part: paraphrasing sentences. This means rewriting them using different words while keeping the exact same meaning.
2. Paraphrasing Sentences
The first sentence is: While Peter was riding down the street, he came across an old friend.
1. While Peter was riding down the street, he came across an old friend.
We can change 'while' to 'during' or 'as', and 'came across' to 'encountered' or 'ran into'. Here is a possible paraphrase.
