個(gè)人陳述在申請(qǐng)英國(guó)留學(xué)中,是非常重要的文書材料,好的個(gè)人陳述給你招生官留下深刻的印象。下面和出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來看看申請(qǐng)英國(guó)留學(xué)個(gè)人陳述如何寫作。
首先來看看書寫基本格式。
1、標(biāo)題
通常來說,個(gè)人陳述的標(biāo)題可以直接用Personal Statement 或者Statement of Purpose,請(qǐng)把標(biāo)題寫在正文之前或者做在頁眉頁腳里面。因?yàn)镻S通常屬于學(xué)校要求提交的文書類型之一,如果自己取題可能和其他類型的文書搞混,所以一般建議不要為了出彩而擅自更改題目;外國(guó)人相對(duì)也比較喜歡規(guī)范化和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的格式,不然也就不會(huì)出現(xiàn)論文的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化格式,比如APA了。
2、頁眉與頁腳
個(gè)人陳述中可以添加頁眉和頁腳,你可以寫下你的姓名,申請(qǐng)學(xué)?;蛏暾?qǐng)專業(yè)等等信息,比如:University of XXX , Personal Statement。請(qǐng)注意,內(nèi)容要精簡(jiǎn),這才不會(huì)顯得冗雜,便于查閱;其實(shí)面對(duì)這么多份的申請(qǐng)文書,招生委員會(huì)的老師也難免頭疼和疲倦,這跟高考語文閱卷一樣,所以格式的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)、一目了然就會(huì)給他們留下不錯(cuò)的印象。
3、正文布局
根據(jù)國(guó)外寫作的習(xí)慣,個(gè)人陳述的正文一般頂格寫,選擇兩端對(duì)齊的排版方式(這樣看上去比較舒服些,但好多外國(guó)學(xué)生習(xí)慣左對(duì)齊,這也是可接受的),段落與段落之間可以空一行,便于查看。
4、字體及間距
個(gè)人陳述通常在Microsoft Word中 編寫,正文可以使用Times New Roman 或者Arial 的十二號(hào)字體,單倍行距。當(dāng)然,必須留心個(gè)別學(xué)校個(gè)別院系可能會(huì)有比較細(xì)致的要求,自己需要多加留意,從而做出相應(yīng)的調(diào)整。
5、字?jǐn)?shù)
一般來說,學(xué)校對(duì)個(gè)人陳述的字?jǐn)?shù)要求控制在1,000字左右,當(dāng)然,一般是800-900字之間。就差不多是兩頁的樣子。不過有些學(xué)校會(huì)對(duì)留學(xué)文書有明確的字?jǐn)?shù)要求,如果明確要求你的PS在500字左右,這個(gè)時(shí)候你就只能盡力刪字?jǐn)?shù)了。在國(guó)外,要逐漸適應(yīng)“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”,沒有討價(jià)還價(jià)的余地。
6、行數(shù)
根據(jù)一般的經(jīng)驗(yàn),個(gè)人陳述的行數(shù)通??刂圃?4~48行。你可以在Word->File->Page Setup->Document Grid->Lines Per page里面修改。
7、結(jié)尾
個(gè)人陳述的正文結(jié)束之后,可以加上Signature 和Date,顯得比較正式。
Signature:________________________
Date:____________________________
去英國(guó)留學(xué),提交個(gè)人陳述是必需的,那英國(guó)留學(xué)個(gè)人陳述應(yīng)該怎樣寫?下面出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編為大家整理了這篇英國(guó)留學(xué)個(gè)人陳述參考范文及寫作要點(diǎn),希望可以幫助到大家!
接著來看看寫作誤區(qū)。
誤區(qū)1:內(nèi)容冗雜,華而不實(shí)
國(guó)內(nèi)的文章大多篇幅過長(zhǎng),例如高考作文,一般都需要大量的篇幅來進(jìn)行描述。以至于很多學(xué)生在寫作留學(xué)文書時(shí)很容易犯錯(cuò)誤,采用大量的篇幅和華麗的詞藻來進(jìn)行修飾,導(dǎo)致內(nèi)容冗長(zhǎng),華而不實(shí)。
誤區(qū)2:夸夸其談,空話連篇
招生官之所以會(huì)看PS,一般就是想通過文書來直接了解學(xué)生,對(duì)學(xué)生進(jìn)行快速定位。但是很多學(xué)生在留學(xué)文書的寫作時(shí)往往高談闊論,例如什么報(bào)效祖國(guó)的偉大理想啊,為社會(huì)為人民服務(wù)等,不注重實(shí)際,空話連篇,這并不是招生官所愿意看到的。
誤區(qū)3:弄虛作假,惡意抄襲
這是最為惡劣的行為,有些學(xué)生在寫作留學(xué)文書時(shí)過分的的夸大自己,不切實(shí)際,在對(duì)于自己的成就的描述上弄虛作假,寫一些原本不存在的事,例如參加過什么大型的比賽,拿過什么獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng),有過什么經(jīng)歷等。
還有就是抄襲別的人文書,不結(jié)合自身實(shí)際情況,搞一些花里胡哨的東西。UCAS (英國(guó)本科大學(xué)和學(xué)院招生服務(wù)中心)使用高精準(zhǔn)查重軟件,如果你從他處抄襲的話,UCAS會(huì)將這一情況告知你所申請(qǐng)的大學(xué)。嚴(yán)重的后果不是一般人能夠承擔(dān)的。
誤區(qū)4:主次不分,邏輯混亂
很多學(xué)生因?yàn)橛⑽乃絾栴},往往在寫作文書上抓不清主次,邏輯混亂,這樣的文書估計(jì)招生官連看下去的心都沒有吧。
所以,在寫作時(shí),無論是你的英文水平不達(dá)標(biāo),還是英文水平很高,在寫完之后也要請(qǐng)專業(yè)人士或者有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人給把把關(guān),修改修改。
誤區(qū)5:寫作不規(guī)范,用詞不當(dāng)
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),最好讓英語好的人幫你改改。作為一個(gè)留學(xué)生,能把PS寫的通順流暢絕對(duì)是加分項(xiàng)。
