I need to write an essay for graduate program application. Where do I begin?
I'm an international student from Indonesia, and because I haven't wrote many essay in English before I really need suggestions about writing them. My special concern is the beginning. I just can't decide where to start. Can anybody help me? Few samples of the first sentences as references would be great!! Thanks!!

The basic format for a good Essay is a five paragraph format. You open your first sentence with something catchy. A question is always a good fall back if you can't come up with a good one. The last sentence in your first paragraph should be the thesis statement, in which you state the points you are going to discuss within the Essay. The body paragraphs (the middle three) contains you supporting details. Your closing paragraph should restate the thesis and sum up your entire essay.

Though this answer may not be enough for your research project for which I suggest that you use Google where you will find the best possible answers. I think that Brunei & Singapore have the highest usage of cars followed by Indonesia.

As Australians get AusStudy to fund their studies through the government there are no Australia based bank loans you would be eligible for.

Which university offers the best electrical engineering undergraduate study in Indonesia?
Which university offers the best electrical engineering undergraduate study in Indonesia?
I work at an oil company operating in Venezuela. A fellow at work who is a Sri-Lankan wants to send her son to Indonesia. Her son wanted to study electrical engineering, I'm an electrical engineer graduated from a reputable university in Italy. She doesn't have that much to send her son to Singapore nor Australia (the living cost & tuition fee are unaffordable for her - she's just a crane instructor). The Indian Institute of Technology has limited the allocation of international students. So she planned to send him to Indonesia or Thailand. Their choices were the engineering faculties in university of Indonesia or bandung technological university. I haven't even heard one of them. But, I once read an interesting electrical engineering research (www.ieee.org) journal about lightning strikes written by a professor in bandung tech. But when I surf through the internet the bandung tech univ seems to be never exists. I'm just curious.

The best university of any technical major in Indonesia is by no doubt ITB, the Institut Teknologi Bandung. Yup, Bandung technological university. It was even accredited as one of the best university in Indonesia. The competition to enter this university is a bit hard, even for Indonesian, so good luck on that. The other option might be in the neighboring country, Singapore, NTU, Nanyang technological University, It was in the top 200 best university in the world, so this is my recomendation. The living cost should not be that high, but if your friend cannot afford it, then ITB is the best option. if you cannot find it through the net, it might be because you searched it in english, try to google ITB bandung, it's there. here's the link : http://www.itb.ac.id/ the thing is, I'm not sure if the subjects are taught in english, try to confirm about that. However, the UI (university of Indonesia) has international program. http://www.ui.ac.id/
2 :
ITB would be the wisest choice. For alternative, you can try private uni such as Satya Wacana Christian University in a cool mountain town of Salatiga in Central Java. Its Electrical Engineering faculty was one of the best in the country my time (up to early 90s). I'm not so sure how it is nowadays though....
3 :
Indonesia and Thailand are good choices for a limited budget, but as someone previously said, if the son is going to ITB, he should learn Bahasa Indonesia first. ITB's EE department doesn't have an international program yet. Before the son go travel and had to learn new language, why not consider scholarship as an option? I am a scholarship student and my late father was stunned when he was informed that he only have to pay my living arrangement and allowance. ;-)
4 :
yup.. ITB is the best here, and think they do have International class now... or your friend's son could learn Bahasa for 6 months prior the study, Bahasa is an easy language to learn. most of my expat friends able to understand Bahasa in 6 months and they didn't take bahasa lessons...
5 :
ITB : Institut Teknologi Bandung Located in Bandung, Java Pero, por estudiar en la Universidad, Australia es mas bien que Indonesia.
6 :
you can go Singapore Nayang Technological University
7 :
Agree, ITB (Institut Teknologi Bandung) is the best one in it. It is located at Bandung, the capital city of West Java.
8 :
Satya Wacana university in Salatiga - Central Java Province.
9 :
Of course, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) is the best. Check its website www.itb.ac.id

You will not be accepted in a US college until you are 18 or have completed the equivalent of high school. If you can pay for a boarding high school in Seattle you can go to school there but you cannot move to Seattle by yourself without your parents and go to a public school. You could not get the necessary papers from the US government and could not get housing except at a boarding school.
