Letter

Dear lector

I am very sorry about the draft of my literature review. Firstly, I had to admit that the version of literature review was coming from the internet. I am deeply regret and apologise. Apparently, I lacked awareness of university policy. I through that that was a draft. Secondly, I have to clarify some of facts about doing dissertation in China. Due to the strict internet censorship, I need a VPN to access all international websites including our university websites to gain resources. It takes me 5 minutes to open our university website and take me longer to access library and Google Scholars, making research extremely time-consuming. The process of collecting secondary data is not only time-consuming but also frustrating. Under the pressure of the latest time’s mistake, the process makes me very anxious. This is true that most of universities worldwide has delayed deadlines of their assignments. In March, it costed 2 days to travel back China and more time in quarantine area where is impossible to access international websites due to COVID-19. Off-course, I am aware that all classmates including Chinese classmates have submitted their literature review. However, this is a fact that I am the only Chinese student chosen to come back China. My capabilities to access the internet are not comparable to their capabilities. For me, the resources such as journal articles are limited and rare to me. Thus, I may need more days to complete my work. I will certainly submit my literature review draft to you on 10 May and this time will not waste your time. Hope you can understand my difficulties during the outbreak of COVID-19.

Thank you for your time,

My apology again.
