親愛的編輯：

Dear Editor,  

經過一再的衝突，現在世界和平及了解較諸以往更加重要。在過去的一年事實證明，擴展我們國際了解是件重要的事情。盡力去鼓勵所有學生學習外國的文化以便擴展他們對世界知識之了解。

In times of conflict, world peace and understanding are more important than ever. During the past year, it is clear that broadening our international understanding is critical. Efforts to encourage the study of foreign cultures provide opportunities for all students to broaden their knowledge of the world.

聯合國教育科學文化組織的教育助理主任彼得•史密斯說：〝教育具有將人民及國家改變成相似的能力，因為它是平等、才能、社會機會、經濟穩定和全國進步的泉源。〞

“Education has the power to transform people and countries alike, because it is the wellspring of equality, ability, social opportunity, economic stability and national progress, ” said Peter Smith, UNESCO’s assistant director-general for education.

身為○○年的扶輪基金會的獎學生，我業已加強了我對國際間和平及衝突解決的承諾。這些計劃提供學生們為期三到六個月或一到二年的獎學金以便在海外研習，擔任親善大使。我在國外學習期間，它給了我增長學術及文化方面成長的機會也因此使我透過全球社區以促進國際之親善。

As a Rotary Foundation Scholar in [year], I have strengthened my commitment to peace and conflict resolution on an international level. The program provides students with three- to six-month and one- or two-year scholarships to study abroad, serving as ambassadors of goodwill.  My time abroad gave me the chance to enrich myself both academically and culturally, and I was able to promote international goodwill throughout the global community.

感謝○○州○○市的扶輪社，我在○○國○○市研究○月或○年。﹝加註幾段文章以表達個人的想法﹞

Thanks to the Rotary Club of [City, State], I spent [amount of time] studying in [City, Country]. [Add a few sentences of personal reflections]

當這個世界正與憎恨及不寬容戰鬥時，它提醒了我們了解大使獎學生，不同的文化使我們變成獨特的，但是我們文化的差異性並不是終究的事情。我們可以一同相處以強化不同文化的尊重、全球和平及了解。我深信扶輪增廣我的視野並且改變我們一生。

As the world works to combat hatred and intolerance, I am reminded of what so many of us learn as Ambassadorial Scholars - cultural differences make us unique, but our differences are not what ultimately matter. We can all work together to foster cross-cultural respect, peace and understanding worldwide. I thank Rotary for broadening my perspective and changing my life.

誠摯的
