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
