申請(qǐng)美國(guó)研究生,文書PS能彌補(bǔ)你的硬件不足,為你的申請(qǐng)加分,因此常常能決定申請(qǐng)的成敗。一篇文書的開頭很重要,有了一個(gè)好的開頭,就是成功了一半,就好像拉琴之前的定音,音定準(zhǔn)了,拉出的曲子就會(huì)動(dòng)聽。但是,文書開頭中也有一些句型是絕對(duì)不能出現(xiàn)的,下面我們?yōu)榇蠹铱偨Y(jié)了在寫ps的開頭段時(shí)要注意的問題,以避免被第一眼秒拒掉。
一、重復(fù)簡(jiǎn)歷型
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in … Sciences with a specialization in … in 2002 at … university
點(diǎn)評(píng):不要去重復(fù)簡(jiǎn)歷中的東西,這在很多學(xué)校的PS要求中明確提到,個(gè)人陳述的寫作要具體到事件上,事件解決上,而不要單純重復(fù)已有的內(nèi)容。
二、學(xué)校介紹型
I am an undergraduate in…University , the largest university anda cradle of scientific and technological talents in China.
點(diǎn)評(píng):該同學(xué)的PS開頭等于是一個(gè)申請(qǐng)學(xué)校的簡(jiǎn)介,這好像是在幫助學(xué)校做宣傳,或表達(dá)你有多了解該學(xué)校,而不是寫個(gè)人陳述了。這是沒有意義的開頭,白白浪費(fèi)了字?jǐn)?shù),最容易被秒拒掉。
三、抄襲句式型
As a student majoring in Computer Science, I began my odyssey since I entered undergraduate program. Indeed, having entered this splendid computer world, I am more than greedy for something new.
點(diǎn)評(píng):Odyssey 和more than greedy for something new 這種句式不知道是從哪里學(xué)到的,很多同學(xué)在用。但你要知道,老外最恨抄襲,最喜原創(chuàng),所以利害關(guān)系大家想想吧。
四、救世主型
I am a problem solver. I have an impulse as a kind of instincts to solvevarious problems before me and enjoy doing that. Since I was a little boy, a voice from President Franklin Roosevelt has constantly hovered around my mind, "The world can be changed by man's endeavor, …
點(diǎn)評(píng):一副救世主的形象,小時(shí)候就受富蘭克林的影響,立志改變世界。PS的寫作一定要個(gè)人化具體化,別吹牛,甚至帶著一種霸權(quán)主義思維。
五、猶抱琵琶型
Making a right decision at the right time is very important for a young people .At present, I have come to a critical point in my life when I have to make a decision concerning my future course of action. Only a perceptive understanding of oneself will enable one to chart his proper action. Aftercarefully thinking, reviewing my life and analyzing my personality, I make the determination and choose to apply for graduate study in XXX. And I choose to specialize in communications which I will pursue a lifelong career.
點(diǎn)評(píng):重點(diǎn)放在自己要做重大決定上了,人生的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn),然后來上句所謂名言警句,這是浪費(fèi)字?jǐn)?shù)。在有限的字?jǐn)?shù)里,同學(xué)們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)直接,并且抓住重點(diǎn),突出自己最有優(yōu)勢(shì)的方面,最有特色的方面。
六、憶童年型
“Why the gecko can climb on the wall while we can't-”“Why the leaves turn red in autumn”How many stars are there in the sky-' When I was in childhood,I always kept asking my mom all kinds of questions。I am especially interested in how things work, I can even take apart things for several hours in order to find out its principle.
點(diǎn)評(píng):上來就回憶童年少年自己如何有著遠(yuǎn)大抱負(fù),who cares?個(gè)人陳述字?jǐn)?shù)有限,卻用這么多話描述童年,沒有任何意義。學(xué)校想知道你如何看待未來,而不是如何度過過去。
