英國留學個人陳述書寫指南 這樣寫更精彩

字號:


    針對個人陳述的書寫,首先需要知道它的寫作格式及內(nèi)容,然后進行深入的闡述,許多同學在寫作方面會很頭疼。別擔心,今天出國留學網(wǎng)小編為大家?guī)砹擞魧W個人陳述書寫指南。
    首先來看看個人陳述的書寫格式。
    
    1.標題
    通常來說,個人陳述的標題可以直接用Personal Statement 或者Statement of Purpose,請把標題寫在正文之前或者做在頁眉頁腳里面。因為PS通常屬于學校要求提交的文書類型之一,如果自己取題可能和其他類型的文書搞混,所以一般建議不要為了出彩而擅自更改題目;外國人相對也比較喜歡規(guī)范化和標準化的格式,不然也就不會出現(xiàn)論文的標準化格式,比如APA了。
    2.頁眉與頁腳
    個人陳述中可以添加頁眉和頁腳,你可以寫下你的姓名,申請學?;蛏暾垖I(yè)等等信息,比如:University of XXX , Personal Statement。請注意,內(nèi)容要精簡,這才不會顯得冗雜,便于查閱;其實面對這么多份的申請文書,招生委員會的老師也難免頭疼和疲倦,這跟高考語文閱卷一樣,所以格式的標準、一目了然就會給他們留下不錯的印象。
    3.正文布局
    根據(jù)國外寫作的習慣,個人陳述的正文一般頂格寫,選擇兩端對齊的排版方式(這樣看上去比較舒服些,但好多外國學生習慣左對齊,這也是可接受的),段落與段落之間可以空一行,便于查看。
    4.字體及間距
    個人陳述通常在Microsoft Word中 編寫,正文可以使用Times New Roman 或者Arial 的十二號字體,單倍行距。 當然,必須留心個別學校個別院系可能會有比較細致的要求,自己需要多加留意,從而做出相應的調(diào)整。
    5.字數(shù)
    一般來說,學校對個人陳述的字數(shù)要求控制在1,000字左右,當然,一般是800-900字之間。就差不多是兩頁的樣子。不過有些學校會對留學文書有明確的字數(shù)要求,如果明確要求你的PS在500字左右,這個時候你就只能盡力刪字數(shù)了。在國外,要逐漸適應“標準就是標準”,沒有討價還價的余地。狠狠心吧那就??!
    6.行數(shù)
    根據(jù)一般的經(jīng)驗,個人陳述的行數(shù)通??刂圃?4~48行。你可以在Word->File->Page Setup->Document Grid->Lines Per page里面修改。
    7.結(jié)尾
    個人陳述的正文結(jié)束之后,可以加上Signature 和Date,顯得比較正式。
    Signature:________________________
    Date:____________________________
    最后,交納電子版?zhèn)€人陳述的時候,建議把文章轉(zhuǎn)成PDF 格式,一方面因為Word在網(wǎng)上提交的時候很多情況下都會出現(xiàn)格式的不兼容或者變化的問題,從而將你費盡心思排好版本的文書搞得“面目全非”;另一方面PDF格式的文件在瀏覽時會顯得更加美觀整潔;當然如果是直接在線提交,那么就不存在這個問題。
    接著來看看寫作技巧。
    技巧一、保證真實
    招生官每天看上千份PS,你寫的是否真實,是否有撒謊的成分,招生官一看便知。所以,學生在寫PS的時候,不要故作聰明,去編造一些你沒有的經(jīng)歷,夸大自己實力。PS一定要和簡歷保持匹配。
    技巧二、詞藻過于華麗
    想要把PS寫的有水平一些,這是每個學生都應該展現(xiàn)的。但是,不要為了達到這種效果,用過于生僻的詞匯,來顯示自己的高級,以至于招生老師還要去查字典才知道是什么意思。IDP君可以坦白的告訴你,招生官也是沒有太大耐心的哦!
    技巧三、內(nèi)容泛泛可陳
    也就是說,內(nèi)容要實在,不要太空泛。你或許談到你的理想,你對未來的規(guī)劃,切記不要談到太過不切實際,太過難以實現(xiàn)。說出你真實的想法,以及你將為之的規(guī)劃就好。
    技巧四、簡單羅列活動經(jīng)歷
    在英國留學申請個人陳述中,羅列自己的成就是非常危險的行為。招生官想要看到的不是你參加活動的量,而是你在這個活動中的成長,所扮演的角色,以及你的品性和各種潛力。
    最后來看看參考范文。
