一般情況下,學校會要求申請者在遞交個人入學申請表的時候,隨同附上一些額外的申請材料,包括推薦信、個人陳述以及簡歷等等。招生老師往往可以通過這些文件來了解申請者的學習能力、研究能力、以及其他各方面的能力。這些申請材料一定程度上影響了申請者的成功率。下面讓我們跟隨YJBYS小編一起來看一看新西蘭留學個人陳述怎么寫。
1、個人陳述寫作技巧
(1)結構簡單,銜接緊密
新西蘭留學文書其實是你個人的廣告!要重點突出,形象鮮明。仔細想想,留下深刻印象的廣告哪個不是簡明而富有創意的?許多申請人往往想把自己的全部優點都寫出來告訴教授,覺得這樣才能全面的展現自己。但是:“Simple is the best”,試想一下,招生教授天天都要做大量的教學工作,還要抽出時間閱讀數量可觀的留學申請資料,只有那種簡單有力的文章才能HIT THE TARGET,讓人印象深刻!我們的理念是簡明而富有創意的。
(2)突出重點,主線明確
清楚有力地表達你的求學動機,和學習學術能力。在國內有一種錯誤的觀點,PS要“煽情”才能有效果。有的留學申請人就通過描述不相干活動展示“獨特”的性格,或是學術上感覺沒有什么可寫的,就寫自己考試時克服了重重困難,如何考取了好成績!這是根本不著邊際的寫法,會讓錄取者發掘不到你的特點。要知道,PS是要在很短的時間內,清楚地用幾百字告訴招生教授你是入學(獎學金)非常合格的人選,盲目“煽情”完全不需要。
(3)符合西方思維習慣
文化的差異導致東西方在什么是美德和優缺點的看法上不盡相同。在以往的經歷中發現,有些留學申請人表達出來的“優點”實際上在西方看來是缺點,反映申請人對學術問題毫無主見;而有些申請人認為不好的東西恰恰是西方人所欣賞的,認為這些能表現出申請人布滿個性。所以申請人要了解如何以西方的思維方式取舍你的申請素材,把有益的亮點有選擇性地挑選出來,在適當地篇幅里展示出來。
2、個人陳述寫作范文
商科專業申請個人陳述范文及說明:
As a child I often accompanied my father to his small coin shop and spent hours watching him work. When I was older, I sometimes set up displays, waited on customers, and even balanced the books. This experience instilled in me the desire to own and manage my own business someday, yet I understand that the business world today is more complex. This complexity requires more education, and with that in mind, I am applying to the Master’s of Business Administration program at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).
通過一個故事開頭,講述自己為何對business感興趣。
In addition to my helping out in my father’s business, I have had numerous other work experiences that further enhance my qualifications for this program. My resume enumerates the various positions I have held at Kerasotes Theaters, Chili’s restaurants, and Indiana University’s new Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC), and what all of these positions have in common is an emphasis on serving the public effectively. Further, as an assistant manager at the Showplace 11 and a staff coordinator at the SRSC, I have gained valuable expertise in managing employees and creating work schedules. Both of these positions have allowed me to develop my sales and people skills, which are extremely important in an increasingly service-driven marketplace.
講述自己的相關經歷,但是感覺在談及經歷時候不夠具體,應該說明具體做了什么事情,從中得到什么經驗或者教訓。
Not all of my work experience has been as a paid employee. Part of my volunteering experience at Middleway House, the local battered women’s shelter, involved extensive work on computers, including word processing, organizing databases and creating spreadsheets. Also, I recently participated in an internship program for academic credit with the Eli Lilly corporation in the personnel division. As a management intern, I was able to watch the workings of a major corporation up close and would like the opportunity to combine my experiences with the theoretical background available in the MBA program at IUB, with its emphasis on computers, marketing and human resources.
志愿者活動同樣值得在ps中講述。
My successful internship is one element of my overall academic success as an undergraduate here at IUB, yet I have also made time for a variety of extracurricular activities, including working for my sorority and competing in intramural basketball. My positive experiences here have resulted in my desire to stay in Bloomington to continue my academic endeavors; furthermore, continuing my education here would allow me to make important business contacts, with the career goal of opening my own computer consulting firm in the Midwest.
