　　Personal Statement

　　China is a country that pays so much attention and emphasis on education. Elementary School for a starter, following the Junior Middle School, Senior Middle School, College, Graduate School and etc., every student must receive a series of strict and systematic academic training before he really can be put to good use in society. Children’s education plays a very important role in family life too. Parents put so much expectation on their children, and give all they can to shape their children prodigies. Expectation is a two-edged sword: on the one hand, it brings students a strong backup and good surrounding for study that their parents never had; but on the other hand, expectation also means much pressure and rigor. Meanwhile, the pressure does not only come from the family. The competition within schools is so intense that every entering a higher school is like a war – fighting for the opportunities to enter best schools. In the last eleven years, I have been growing under such a background.

　　When I was at the age about to enter elementary school, like all the parents under the sun, my mom and dad believed that I deserved the very best from the beginning. So they worked so hard on getting me into the best elementary school of the city. But unfortunately, due to the entering-the-nearest-school rule for primary school prospective students, I finally got into the one that was two blocks away from our house – a mediocre elementary school. To mom and dad, it was all along a big pity that I couldn’t have the best education. But deep in my mind I decided to make up their regret with my own working. So, early since I firstly entered school, I have taken education more seriously than most of my peers. I studied so hard, looking forward to increasing my knowledge, expanding my view of the world and getting more and more mature. Six years quickly disappeared into history. I soon found myself standing in front of another turning point. I made my determination to open myself the best middle school’s gate.

　　However, sometimes determination doesn’t always turn out the best result. My knocking didn’t get the most desired answer I was expecting. Again, I missed the chance to enter the best school in our city. However, instead of getting disappointed this time, mom and dad even felt delighted because though it was not the best, the Junior Middle School that admitted me was also a considerably renowned one. Yet I still haven’t got very satisfied about the result. During the three years in Junior Middle School, I never slowed down my steps to pursue my aim.

　　My determination pushed me to seek the best in everything I do, whether in academic studies or other aspects of life. I remember the time I got myself into a dilemma. Because of my outstanding trumpet skill, I took the position of chief trumpet player in school orchestra. So I had to keep a well-balanced connection between study and music. But at the end of one semester when I was tensely preparing for the finals, I suddenly received the notification from the orchestra for a big performance, which means I had to spend much time on rehearsal and practicing for my own solo. The two things seemed so conflictive that both mom and dad advised me to give up the performance. But I wanted the performance to be good as much as my academic record. I accepted to make the performance without hesitation. For a whole month, I almost wanted to divide every minute into two. I clutched every second in the daytime to work on my school courses because the trumpet score was waiting for me in the night. In order not to annoy neighbors, I closed myself into the small toilet of our house. It was in summer, the small closed space was so hot and fuggy. My body got totally wet with sweats every time I finished the practicing. After one month, I did very well in both the examination and performance, with the cost of a couple of kilograms’ weight drop. With a determination like that, after the completion of Junior Middle School, I finally got admitted by one of the top middle schools of our city.

　　I aspire to study Biochemistry in my undergraduate years and become a scientist specialized in biochemical sciences. Honestly, my first encounter with this subject was not a very pleasant memory. When I was very young, I watched a movie “The 731 Army” which tells of the biochemical weapon research of Japanese Army in China during World War Two. In the movie, Japanese Army uses innocent villagers to test the biochemical weapon, the horrible vision deeply carved in my memory. Since then on, both that movie and biochemistry were an unspeakable taboo to me. But things got totally changed when I began to take chemistry study in middle school. I was suddenly captured by the great fascination of chemistry. Chemical experiment became my most favorite class. And only school studies could not satisfy my curiosity, I expanded my readings to many other sources. From the learning, my early fear of biochemistry was gone completely, because the more I read, the more I found it such a beautiful and useful subject for our human being. I know becoming a scientist in biochemical field will be a long and tiring process. But my determination gives me the confidence and courage to face any challenge and difficulty.

　　留學(xué)申請個人陳述寫作常見誤區(qū)

　　誤區(qū)一：語言不規(guī)范性

　　雖說PS不是考英語或作文，但也要注意，PS是很正規(guī)的文書，不要用些口語化的詞語(kinda, sort of, wanna, it's, can't, shouldn't)，也不能滿眼的語法錯誤，typo(打印排版的錯誤)或者通篇都是I, I, I開頭的句子�？梢哉埳瞄L英語的朋友或者外教幫忙修改，但不要超出自己的英文實力太多。另外注意一點，不要過分注重文筆而丟掉關(guān)鍵內(nèi)容，PS是個人說明，要說出你為什么選擇這個專業(yè)和學(xué)校，你對這個專業(yè)的熱情，對這個領(lǐng)域的看法，未來的規(guī)劃。

　　誤區(qū)二：長篇大論，乏味冗長

　　一篇PS通常在800-1000字左右最好(或者所申請的學(xué)校有規(guī)定的字?jǐn)?shù))，有的申請者認(rèn)為既然是個人陳述就充分介紹自己的所有，長篇大論沒有重點。評審委員每天要讀幾百篇PS，如果你的PS沒有能夠開門見山讓讀者迅速了解你，卻把自己的爸爸媽媽爺爺奶奶一一介紹，這樣的PS當(dāng)然不會讓人產(chǎn)生興趣，很快會被丟到一邊。PS就是要言簡意賅，讓讀者在很短的時間里就能對你有個比較全面的了解，在有限的篇幅內(nèi)，挑選有代表性的事例來充分證明自己的優(yōu)秀。

　　誤區(qū)三：機械套用PS寫作模板或者別人的PS

　　作為評審委員來說，每天看幾百篇PS，如果你像大多數(shù)申請者一樣，開頭總結(jié)一下自己的背景，然后指出自己想申請的專業(yè)、學(xué)校，雖然沒有錯，但是對他們來說，是非常千篇一律的，這樣眼熟的PS是很難讓人提起興趣的。PS要有自己的個性化，學(xué)校要的是有特點的學(xué)生，沒有學(xué)校會想要一個很平庸一般的學(xué)生，范本里的文章都容易流俗。試想，如果你有一個新穎的開頭，文章的內(nèi)容又有細(xì)節(jié)有起伏，評審委員就能更有興趣的認(rèn)真讀下去了，而且還顯得你的PS真實而富有新意。

　　誤區(qū)四：沒有連貫性

　　很多人寫的PS就是東拼西湊一段經(jīng)歷。要注意過渡，注意連貫，這是一篇文章，甚至可以說是你的臉，不是大雜燴。寫PS之前最好想好自己的謀篇布局是什么，前后連貫的線是什么。作為一個留學(xué)生，能把PS寫得通順流暢絕對是加分項。

　　誤區(qū)五：不能合理的選材和恰當(dāng)?shù)姆治?/p>

　　申請者應(yīng)該考慮到自己申請的專業(yè)領(lǐng)域，對方對什么樣的申請者感興趣等等，如何恰當(dāng)?shù)剡x材十分重要。只要正確分析問題，并且從恰當(dāng)?shù)慕嵌葦⑹鍪虑榫涂梢粤�。寫�?jīng)歷的時候千萬不要寫成流水賬，正確的做法是挑兩三件事作為切入點，著重突出一兩個細(xì)節(jié)足矣，而且一定要有細(xì)節(jié)!拒絕假大空!

　　比如說，同樣寫在實驗室做研究到很晚：

　　小明：我每天都非常努力地在實驗室工作到很晚，我非常刻苦，從不偷懶。

　　我會這樣寫：我每天都等凌晨隔壁咖啡屋打樣了再從實驗室回宿舍，走之前我會充滿愛心地洗好每一根試管，把實驗室各種器材擺放好，擦干凈全部的臺子，在星星的陪伴下仔細(xì)回想今天實驗的收獲，真的很滿足很開心!

　　可能你覺得這樣寫的太矯情，但是錄取委員會大媽就是有喜歡看的。(這個舉例只是為了強調(diào)細(xì)節(jié)的重要性，杜絕大空話，不是要你都這么矯情地寫哦)

　　誤區(qū)六：把PS和CV (Curriculum Vitae個人履歷)混為一談

　　不要把PS寫成CV的擴展板。CV上的內(nèi)容就盡量不要寫在PS上了，即使有也換個側(cè)重點。比如說CV里提到了做了某個研究，你覺得很重要，那就在PS里提下從中學(xué)到了什么，你使用了什么方法解決了什么問題之類的。PS和CV是互補的關(guān)系，避免重復(fù)啰嗦，要各有側(cè)重，不然誰會愿意看兩遍同樣的材料。

　　誤區(qū)七：不誠實

　　有些同學(xué)為了增大自己的亮點而過分夸大和捏造自己的能力和經(jīng)驗，采用華麗的辭藻來描述自己的各類經(jīng)歷，如果被發(fā)現(xiàn)的話，后果不堪設(shè)想。適當(dāng)?shù)膬?yōu)化可以，但要做到有的放矢，不要一問三不知，最后到了不能自圓其說的地步。然而我們國人多數(shù)時候還是比較謙虛的，很多申請者都非常優(yōu)秀，但是由于不能正確地審視自己，往往沒有發(fā)掘自己的優(yōu)秀潛能，從而不能展開敘述，錯失了展示自己的機會。所以要對自己有個客觀的評價，真實且準(zhǔn)確地陳述在你的PS中。

　　誤區(qū)八：無視申請的學(xué)校

　　如果你的PS通篇都沒提到對方學(xué)校，一看就是批量生產(chǎn)的，這實際上就是大忌。一定要有理由充分說明為什么想申請這個學(xué)校。不要只是干巴巴地說你們學(xué)校怎么好怎么美，仰慕已久之類的話，這就跟在街上隨口叫人“美女帥哥”似的沒有什么區(qū)別。花點兒時間研究一下你要申請的學(xué)校，這不僅對你的PS很重要，而且也是對自己負(fù)責(zé)啊，你總不想把自己的未來幾年拋到一個不喜歡的地方吧。

　　誤區(qū)九：喊口號式的空談，尤其是出國動機

　　很多人在寫自己的出國動機時，都會很空洞的寫中國在某方面是多么落后，美國是多么的先進，所以要去美國學(xué)習(xí)，盲目吹捧美國，甚至有點崇洋媚外的感覺，其實這樣反而會遭到反感。應(yīng)該好好想想自己為什么要出國，對方需要看到一個真實的你，而不是一個只會盲目表決心、喊口號、虛偽和不踏實的人。因此，申請者可以結(jié)合自己的親身經(jīng)歷和體會，做到言之有物，真實可信，而不只是滿篇的空話套話。另外，可以結(jié)合個人實際，強調(diào)一下自己學(xué)成歸國的計劃，這樣也可以打消簽證官對你移民傾向的疑慮。

　　誤區(qū)十：排版混亂，字體花哨

　　試想當(dāng)你看到一篇五顏六色，大小不一的文章，你會認(rèn)真看下去嗎?專業(yè)一點兒，學(xué)術(shù)文書一般采用通用字體Times New Roman，黑色，大小11或12號。小標(biāo)題和粗體斜體(書名除外)之類的原則上不加(PS里還分小標(biāo)題的話你是要寫成論文的長度嗎)。

　　總之，由于在中國的升學(xué)體制中，基本上考試成績決定一切，因此中國學(xué)生對這類文件的寫作和思維方式不熟悉。而美國大學(xué)錄取學(xué)生，發(fā)放獎學(xué)金，是通過全面綜合考察申請者的條件來決定的。留學(xué)文書在西方的文化背景下是申請入學(xué)(獎學(xué)金)的極為重要的組成部分。其中個人陳述往往對你的申請是否成功起到很大的作用。

　　最后想說，留學(xué)固然需要包裝，但是每個人除了自己固定的標(biāo)簽(Label)是你不能騙的外，其實你的水平(Level)也無法欺騙別人。所有的所謂“包裝”應(yīng)該都是正向的，從沒有人可能會從一個農(nóng)民包裝成一個財務(wù)精英。因此，在準(zhǔn)備申請材料的時候不要試圖改變你的本質(zhì)，只是想著增加它的包裝相關(guān)度即可。使你原本60分的經(jīng)歷可以看起來有75分，但還是這個方向、這件事、這個人。如果一味的想改變自己的“格局”，只會適得其反。大洋彼岸也是一群每年見過無數(shù)各種各樣背景的老油條們，他們一眼就知道你有幾斤幾兩。所以，有效包裝、正確面對自己!
