眾所周知,新加坡是亞洲的主流留學(xué)國家,新加坡和歐美國家采取相似的留學(xué)制度,因此也非常重視留學(xué)個人陳述。那么新加坡留學(xué)怎樣寫個人陳述呢?下面出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)就來為大家詳細(xì)介紹一下新加坡留學(xué)怎樣寫個人陳述。
新加坡留學(xué)個人陳訴寫作技巧
1、標(biāo)題
通常來說,個人陳述的標(biāo)題可以直接用Personal Statement或者Statement of Purpose,請把標(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;外國人相對也比較喜歡規(guī)范化和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的格式,不然也就不會出現(xiàn)論文的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化格式,比如APA了。
2、頁眉與頁腳
個人陳述中可以添加頁眉和頁腳,你可以寫下你的姓名,申請學(xué)校或申請專業(yè)等等信息,比如:University of XXX,Personal Statement。請注意,內(nèi)容要精簡,這才不會顯得冗雜,便于查閱;其實(shí)面對這么多份的申請文書,招生委員會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)、一目了然就會給他們留下不錯的印象。
3、正文布局
根據(jù)國外寫作的習(xí)慣,個人陳述的正文一般頂格寫,選擇兩端對齊的排版方式(這樣看上去比較舒服些,但好多外國學(xué)生習(xí)慣左對齊,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的十二號字體,單倍行距。當(dāng)然,必須留心個別學(xué)校個別院系可能會有比較細(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)校對個人陳述的字?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)校會對留學(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,這個時候你就只能盡力刪字?jǐn)?shù)了。在國外,要逐漸適應(yīng)“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”,沒有討價還價的余地。
6、行數(shù)
根據(jù)一般的經(jīng)驗(yàn),個人陳述的行數(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
個人陳述的正文結(jié)束之后,可以加上Signature和Date,顯得比較正式。
最后,交納電子版?zhèn)€人陳述的時候,建議把文章轉(zhuǎn)成PDF格式,一方面因?yàn)閃ord在網(wǎng)上提交的時候很多情況下都會出現(xiàn)格式的不兼容或者變化的問題,從而將你費(fèi)盡心思排好版本的文書搞得“面目全非”;另一方面PDF格式的文件在瀏覽時會顯得更加美觀整潔;當(dāng)然如果是直接在線提交,那么就不存在這個問題。

Economics and Finance Personal Statement
Having a flair for Economics and accounting I have decided that I want a degree in Accounting and Finance or Management. The many brilliant representatives of the management community around the world have strengthened that resolve.
When I worked in my school as a tutor of English as a Second Language for students from a community school in Muscat, I realized the importance of a strong leader who could organize, command respect, and be able to work well with others. These ideas were further enforced by my month long internship at Novartis Pharmaceutical (Accounts and Finance Department and Human Resources Department)。
I attended the Harvard Model Congress in Paris and won the Award of Distinction. One skill in particular that contributed to this award was my confident public speaking.
The last 4 months have been crucial in my learning of real world business and economics. For my IB Extended Essay, titled “To What Extent Does Subway in Oman Operate as an Oligopoly”, I set out to prove the oligpolistic structure of the fast food market in Oman. In this effort, I have come across many real life complexities in pricing behaviour, profit making and other aspects of the Theory of the Firm. While attempting to explain these alternate theories of firms I have developed a keen interest in analyzing and understanding how the world of business works.
After an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance or management I plan to go onto post graduate studies and work on an MBA. A strong performance in a BA will allow me to move onto an MBA and only then shall I be satisfied.
For the last four years I have been part of our schools volleyball team ICE. We have retained our ISAC (Inter Schools Activities Conference, Middle East) title for four years. Playing in the power hitters (spiker) position requires immense physical fitness and to accomplish that I regularly go to the gym for fitness training. I am also part of my school track and field team. Being the fastest sprinter in the school since 11th grade the 100m, 200m and 400m races are my specialty even though I still pursue long distance running. In my spare time I explore and master the computer as I am conversant with a Visual Basic Programming course. It is imperative for me to have the latest hardware and software and I make it a point to install everything myself. I also learn Urdu as it is my native tongue and a link to my culture, to maintain that is crucial.
Living in a diverse international community of over 52 nationalities has allowed to me recognize and appreciate different cultures. With the experience I have and the strong motivation to craft a bright future I feel I can justify my decision to pursue a career in Accounting and Finance or Management.
