美国留学的申请并不是很简单,那么有一些什么样的注意事项呢,今天来谈谈个人陈述的写作,和出国留学网小编一起来看看美国留学个人陈述开头的五种方式。
(一)开门见山法――先点出重点,再依据事件发生顺序,将所见所闻写出。
例如:
I was lucky in the fact that I picked chemical engineering and it turned out to be the right choice for me. However, my first semester at college was a rude shock - being away from home for the first time, being in a relatively male-dominated field.
I started in a test lab for airplanes, where I got to break things. That is called static and fatigue testing. Then I went into design for airplanes. I worked on all areas of commercial planes including the floors and windows. . I am most proud of my testing projects
(二)倒叙法
例如:
On the commencement I was deeply touched by myself. The reason I was so excited was neither the progress on my students’ study nor my excellent graduate thesis award. The only reason that made me in tears was that I am one of the few undergraduate students who attended many researches in the department and got guide on special knowledge and personal growth. During my four years study I established a good relationship with my instructors and classmates. When the leaving day came I was moved by my success and the strived life for all these four years.
(三)引用法――美国留学个人陈述开头引用各种资料,加以引申,达到吸引读者,帮助突出中心的作用。
例如:
When asked how to manage to mask remarkable statues, the French sculptor Auguste Rodin answered, “I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don''t need.” For me, life is just a block of marble---whether the marble can be turned into a remarkable statue depends on your natural talents, diligence and a sense of duty. During over four years’ my college life, I have been dreaming of being a perfect female researcher so that I can enhance more young girls’ confidence in scientific research and encourage them to promote the development of science as men do.
(法国雕塑家罗丹说:“给我一块大理石,把多余的去掉。”人生就是一块大理石,而能否雕琢出精湛的艺术品,演绎出绝妙的人生靠的是天赋,勤奋和使命感。我确立并实践着一个梦想,在接下来的生涯中我将继续我的梦想:to be a perfect engineering girl and display this kind of perfect to all,激励更多的女性树立在科研领域有所作为的信心,充分发挥在科研上的潜能,和男性一起推动科学的发展!)
(四)精辟设喻法――留学ps开头设喻,以引起读者对要说明的事物或道理的兴趣。
例如:
“Life is just like the ocean----whatever choice you make as a steersman, you must be well aware of your favorite, namely, which is worthy of pursuing in your whole lifetime!”
Since I was admitted into ××× university three years ago, these words, just like a bright lamp, have been lightening my future and leading the way to my favorite career--- the studies of educational technology.
(“在茫茫大海中,对于一个舵手最重要的是‘方向’,是在大海中行进时清楚的知道自己何去何从,人生就如同大海,不管你选择的是什么,作为舵手你必须清楚的知道什么是你的至爱,是值得你一生都去追求的!”
三年前当我坐在大海边冥想之时,母亲对我讲了上面的话语。这些话语就像是我人生中的一盏灯塔,引领着我一步步的寻找到了我事业的至爱―教育技术和追求它的航线。)
(五)背景渐入法
1、美国留学个人陈述开头引入家庭背景
例如:
My father is a chartered accountant and my mother is a banker. During my days at Engineering College I used to go to my father''s office and help him manage his portfolio of equities and other financial instruments. This was the time I learnt the first lesson of finance from my father i.e. risk and return are proportionate. In 1998 when I was in the second year the China stock market crashed. But fortunately, my father had a well-diversified portfolio because of which our returns were protected from the downside risk. This was when I learnt the second principle of finance from my father i.e. diversification reduces risk. While I understood these two principles intuitively, it produced in me a strong urge to learn and understand the complex theory behind the working of Finance. This, I believe, was a turning point in my career. I made up my mind to pursue a career in Finance and hence decided to do a Masters program in Business Administration.
