PS开头的常用写法.doc

PS开头的常用写法 一篇好的PS 首先要有一个精彩的开头。但是大家往往会忽略这个部分。本文主要叙述常见的几种写法，通过事例来告诉大家，这几种写法的优点与缺点。 （一）自我陈诉、开门见山、直入主题型 例如： I am applying for admission to the Ph.D. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the University of California, Berkeley. I present my research experience and study objectives in this statement of purpose. I would like to build on my solid education and experience as an engineer for a Ph. D. degree in computer science at a distinguished university. I wish in particular to be trained at an advanced level in software systems, database systems, applied-AI and knowledge-based systems. My ultimate goal is to become a professor teaching computer science at a Chinese university. I believe that advanced training in a quality graduate program will help me realize my goal. 这种写法的优点是：开篇点明主题的目的性，让人一目了然。 这种写法的缺点是：在留学申请的过程中，太多人引用这样的写法，显得平淡，不能引起教授的兴趣。 （二）叙述故事，说理型 1. 叙述自己的家庭故事 My father is a chartered accountant and my mother is a banker. During my days at Engineering College I used to go to my fathers 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. 这种写法的优点：联系家庭，叙述自己。给人感觉亲切。 这种写法的缺点：无法引起读者的强烈兴趣。 2. 叙述事件，引出自己的兴趣、观点。 As I was finishing college, my mother had both of her hips replaced with artificia
