Scholarship / How can I link my experience as a teacher and an NGO worker to development studies? [6]

Dear all,

I am applying for a scholarship for the postgraduate degree in Development Studies/International Development. I am having a hard time trying to link my experiences as a teacher of English and a NGO worker (the NGO being the development agency) to development studies. I have no other experiences besides these two and the problem is my NGO work experience was to do with Finance and Proposal Writing for funding. I was wondering if anyone could offer me with some ideas how to go about writing my essay.

Your help will be greatly and highly appreciated.

Nathan

Hello. I think the internet is undoubtedly one of the best sources for information related to just about any topics. You can just google it with "causes and effects of global warming". There are loads of them.

Writing Feedback / People who move out would be more succesful & happier than people living in villages [6]

I think you need some backups for the argument you put forward. I am keen to know as to why the man from the village who wanted to open his company could find more investments in large city? Perhaps people take this for granted, but i think it's a good idea to state some of the reasons as to why he can secure more investments in the large city. And perhaps why can't he obtains as many investments in the village as he can from the large city.

I have come up with some ideas here. Can you please help comment and share more ideas if at all possible?

I believe networking is a necessary part of a professional career today. As we can see that the majority of people searching for new jobs find the best positions through their network connections. It's also how we learn about new opportunities, expand our world view, and see new possibilities. By expanding one's professional networks is also the the best way to get things done inside an organization. The most effective professionals develop key contacts willing to share their expertise and help us cut through red-tape. Good professional networks also help us identify key partners for innovative collaboration and productive team work.

THANK YOU so much, babybloom and EF_Kevin, for your very kind help. I will surely look for the case studies and blend my answers using your ideas. I will surely come back and seek more advice from you on here. :)))))

EF_Kevin, I don't quite get what you said (sorry, my English is poor) :(

You said, "You can describe a scenario where someone with your unique blend of skills plays a key role in an international humanitarian effort or innovation. Look into CASE STUDIES in the fields of Development Studies/International Development, and see where someone with your skills fits into each case."

Did you mean it's from the finding of successful stories of people with the same blend of skills I have that I develop it into my essay? So in my essay, i will be saying that I could be doing something like that successful person (without actually using his name or anything in the essay)? I really feel my English is so broken here urgh.

I'm looking forward to hearing your comments. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your ideas.

So i can mention all the advantages that expanding professional networks have to offer at an individual level...and as for the coalitions, I can use it to talk about the national level? Sorry my English is limited, so I don't really fully understand your message, Austin. Honestly, I don't really understand what "coalitions" here refer to? And by having the coalitions, we can ensure fairness and at the same time boost the growth of whatever our endeavor is, right?

I'm looking forward to hearing from you again soon, mate.

:))))

Writing Feedback / Which environment is better for children to grow up? Countryside or City? [8]

Hi,

I guess you have a bit of problem with your accuracy. The following one is what i spotted when i was reading your writing a while ago.

Second, the infrastructure in a big city is much better than in countryside, so the life in there is more convenient than it does in rural.

It should be corrected this way.

...is much better than in countryside, so the life there is more convenient than it IS in the countryside.

Hi there Kevin,

Your ideas are of great usefulness in helping me with the questions. I dont know whether what i am going to say is weird. Is there anyway you could help delete this thread, Kevin? I have just realized that i cannot delete it and I kind of feel uneasy having this question i posted searchable on the internet. Chances are the scholarship committee might spot it. I don't wanna have a bad impression of myself. Is there any way you could help me at all? Please help!!!!!!
