Pls, correct mistakes in that motivational letter
OK, here it is. The whole letter was a mess, I did my best to make it sound better but still sure I missed something.
Please, correct grammar or style mistakes. Thanks! (I can provide the Russian original if needed)
I am Ukrainian. In 2006 I graduated from the Welding production department of the Ukrainian engineering-pedagogical academy and apply now for a 2-year Master's programme in Technology with management.
I always was interested in engineering occupations. Choosing my future profession I settled on the welding engineering, because it’s one of the major fields in technique and science.
I began getting a basic professional education in 1999, when entered the Kharkov Machine-building college. After graduation in 2003, I got the degree of junior specialist and skilled employee. The same year I made decision to deepen my knowledge, and entered the third year of the Ukrainian engineering pedagogical academy. In 2005 I got a Bachelor’s degree. In 2006 I published the article on the modern power sources in university press. In 2006 I got a Specialist’s degree in welding production. During these years I get practical training at many ***’s enterprises and acquired extensive knowledge and experience in my field.
After defending my thesis on plasma spraying of protective coating, I began delving into that subject. In the future I want to extend my knowledge in this field and pursue a scientific research on plasma spraying in order to improve that process. I’m working on this project, since I believe it is very important and it’s introduction will yield a considerable economic effect to the enterprises of my homeland. Also due to that project the new prospects for collaboration between France and Ukraine can appear, which will bring a benefit to both countries.
For realization of this project I need entering one of the Universities of France. France has one of the world’s best educational system and material resources which will help me to achieve the greatest results in my field.
Also after graduating from the French university I will get a vast experience which I’ll be able to use in my homeland for development of French-Ukrainian science relations.

Re: Pls, correct mistakes in that motivational letter
Thanks, Kalinka!!! :D
That's not my letter (I'm not too keen about welding :lol:) . It's written by one guy who asked for my help. First he translated it with the online translator and I asked me to correct possible mistakes (:o) , but I hardly could understand anything in that text, so he wrote down his thoughts in Russian and I translated it.
I changed some sentences so it sounds more natural, because the Russian original a little bit akward, I think (he's not a writer, for sure :)) .
Anyway, he doesn't need word by word translation. He just need to give required information about himself in correct and understandable English, so any your suggestions are welcomed.
So, here is his letter in Russian:
[DELETED] :wink:

По национальности – Украинец, в 2006 году закончил Инженерно-педагогическую академию, кафедра сварочного производства, претендую на 2-х годовую Master's programm по программе N+i университета Франции.
Мне все время нравились технические специальности. И перед выбором своей будущей профессии, я остановился на сварочном производстве, потому что сварка – это одна из важнейших областей науки и техники.
На свою специальность я начал учится в 1999 году, когда поступил в Харьковский Машиностроительный колледж, после окончания в 2003 году, я получил дипломы младшего специалиста и квалифицированного работника. В этом же году я принял решение усовершенствовать свои знания, и поступил на третий курс инженерно педагогической академии. В 2005 году я получил диплом бакалавра. В 2006 году опубликовал статью о современных источниках питания в университетской прессе. В 2006 году получил диплом специалиста сварочного производства. За годы своего обучения проходил профессиональную практику на многих предприятиях своего города. За время обучения я получил много знаний и опыта в своей специальности.
Защитив диплом по теме «плазменное напыление защитных покрытий», я серьезно начал заниматься над этой темой. И в будущем я хочу расширить знания в этой области, провести научные исследования по плазменному напылению. Усовершенствовать процесс плазменного напыления. Я работаю над этим проектом, т.к. считаю, что он очень важен, и его внедрение принесет большой экономический эффект предприятиям и Родине, также благодаря нему могут появиться новые перспективы сотрудничества между Францией и Украиной, которые принесут выгоду обоим странам.
Для реализации этого проекта мне необходимо поступление в один из университетов Франции. Потому что, во Франции одна из лучших в мире систем образования и материальная база, которая поможет добиться наивысших результатов в моей области.
Также, окончив университет Франции, я получу огромный опыт, который смогу применить на Родине, для развития Франко-Украинских отношений в науке.
