對(duì)于想要申請(qǐng)出國留學(xué)的同學(xué)來說,個(gè)人陳述是申請(qǐng)材料中很重要的文書材料,要怎么寫好個(gè)人陳述 呢?出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)為大家分享了一篇優(yōu)秀的范文,來參考一下吧!
一、個(gè)人陳述范文
Since childhood, frequent visits to China have allowed me to see how even my small home village has developed into a large vibrant town. Observing how this economic growth has impacted virtually all aspects of Chinese life sparked my interest in economics. By continuing this onto A-level studies, I have been able to discover how theories in economics shape society and fundamentally define how choices are being made. Beginning to understand the nature of firms and markets has allowed me to explore various aspects of the economic reform in China, and how this has had a significant impact on the global market. This is why I would like to study economics further,to better my appreciation of the influence economic changes have on society.
Since beginning A-level, I have enjoyed reading the Financial Times and Economax regularly, allowing me to discover how economics is applied to important current issues and events. I have read further books such as 'A Very Short Introduction to Capitalism' by her. This has given me an insight into the beginnings of a capitalist free market in the UK and how society has developed around this market. I especially enjoyed Legrain's 'Open World:/ The Truth About Globalisation'. This offered a powerful argument in favour of globalisation covering issues such as migration, trade, the environment and technology. Also, through reading 'The Undercover Economist' by ord and 'The Armchair Economist' by sburg, I am beginning to discover how economics relates to everyday decisions, enabling me to more fully develop my reasoning skills.
I have also been keen to learn about the subject first-hand. I was lucky to gain invaluable work experience at a private equity investment firm. This was inspiring as I hope that a degree in Economics would enable meto enter this type of career. During the summer of 2007, I had a taste of working in China, auditing for China Rightson Certified Public Accountancy and working at State Grid in the finance department. The experience of working in a country in transition to a market made me realise how far China will have to change if it is to successfully adopt the ethos of a true market economy. Currently I am part of a team competing in the Target Two Point Zero challenge, assuming the role of the MPC, which is improving my analysis skills of the macro economy.
Academically, I have been awarded form prizes for four consecutive years and a prestigious King Edward Scholarship, awarded to only two people per year, for my GCSE performance. In addition, I have been awarded merit awards in both Junior and Intermediate Maths Olympiads on three occasions, and a distinction in the Senior Maths Olympiad. As a member of the National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth, I attended a summer residential further maths course which I thoroughly enjoyed.
As a member of the school's student council in lower years, I represented my form, communicating their ideas to the council. Now, as an elected prefect, I continue this task as well as contributing to the smooth running of the school. Attending my local Chinese school each week has allowed me to become fluent in the language and has developed my understanding of Chinese history and culture. I led a team in the Envision Charity Scheme, organising events to protect the local environment; and as project manager for my Education in Engineering Scheme project, I was awarded a Gold Crest award. Additionally, I have been a maths mentor for students in local primary schools and at school maths master-classes. I am a keen guitarist, regularly playing in guitar ensembles and I have represented school and house at rugby and chess, as well as competing for Warwickshire County Badminton at U16.
I am looking forward to developing my interest in globalisation as well as furthering my analytical skills as an economist. I also hope I can continue to pursue my outside interests, contributing to the life of the university.
二、個(gè)人陳述寫作技巧
注重故事性,不要平白陳述
如果給你機(jī)會(huì)選擇,你是更愿意讀小說還是新聞報(bào)紙呢?很明顯是小說。因?yàn)樾侣剝H僅能是陳述一些新聞,用一些顯眼的標(biāo)題吸引你的注意。而一篇小說講述的是一個(gè)故事,讓你產(chǎn)生更多情感上的共鳴,讓你身臨其境假設(shè)自己也沉浸在故事的主線當(dāng)中。
“量化”你的故事
要注意你的故事不僅僅是提供一些無關(guān)緊要的信息,記住你的故事要圍繞著你自己展開,讓讀者獲取關(guān)于你更多的信息。說到信息,你所展現(xiàn)的故事不僅要定性還要定量,也就是說最好要用具體的數(shù)字來輔助展現(xiàn),幫助讀者更好的理解你所做的深度。
注重細(xì)節(jié)
首先你要確定自己在個(gè)人陳述當(dāng)中要說什么,確定主線和主題,然后用細(xì)節(jié)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行闡述。不要想當(dāng)然的說一些你認(rèn)為能夠給取悅于錄取委員會(huì)的空話。不論你說什么內(nèi)容,都要注重細(xì)節(jié)。
提前做工作
在確定申請(qǐng)的學(xué)校之前,一定要提前做好功課。對(duì)于你要申請(qǐng)的學(xué)校的細(xì)節(jié)十分了解。首先列出你比較關(guān)注的點(diǎn),然后一項(xiàng)一項(xiàng)的去了解。
向教授尋求意見
在寫完自己的個(gè)人陳述之后,最好找到相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的教授品評(píng)。作為一名教授,在業(yè)內(nèi)領(lǐng)域的經(jīng)驗(yàn)也是十分豐富的,他們往往會(huì)給你很多專業(yè)方面的經(jīng)驗(yàn),尤其是給很多學(xué)生做過推薦人,有過國外求學(xué)或是交流經(jīng)驗(yàn)的老師,他們的建議更加寶貴。
三、個(gè)人陳述寫作注意事項(xiàng)
1.不要遺漏掉那些有用的和中肯的成就、經(jīng)驗(yàn)等等事實(shí)。
2.不要把高中甚至更早的成就也不厭其煩地列在自述上。因?yàn)橹袊鴮W(xué)生申請(qǐng)的學(xué)位最低的也是碩士研究生,大學(xué)時(shí)期的成績或是隨后工作上的成就更為貼切。
3.最好不提的還有政治觀點(diǎn)、宗教信仰和其他一切容易引起爭議的不同尋常的話題。
4.寫自述時(shí)沒有必要對(duì)自己的事業(yè)和生活道路上的挫折諱莫如深。只是在描述或提到經(jīng)歷的苦難,挫折或失敗時(shí),切記不要流露出乞求憐憫恩賜,或氣憤懷恨的情緒。
5.寫自述絕對(duì)不能一蹴而就,寫好后需反復(fù)修改,清除啰嗦多余部分,增加與針對(duì)申請(qǐng)學(xué)校和專業(yè)相對(duì)應(yīng)的內(nèi)容,密切注意句與句之間,段落之間,及整篇文章意思的邏輯聯(lián)系,可以多聽聽老師或前輩的意見。
6.務(wù)必做到文章中不存在任何語法或拼寫上的低級(jí)錯(cuò)誤。
