申请学校材料——个人陈述（PersonalStatement）的写作技巧申请国外的学校不同于国内的高考录取，一般学生需要自己准备必要的材料，其中的个人陈述，也就是人们常说的PS是最为重要的一部分。在PS的写作中，学生应对自己的学习经历、所获成绩、学习方向、兴趣爱好及为何选择申请某所学校的原因一一列出，以证明自己的诚意和能够进一步学习的能力。具体来讲，在第一段中，学生需作一个简单的自我介绍，并详细指出欲申请学校的名称及专业的名称。例如：PersonalStatementIamtheapplicant****,graduatingfromWuhanUniversitywithaBachelor’sDegree.Drivenbymykeeninterestinthisfieldandinordertoscaleahigherintellectualheight,Iwouldliketoapplyfor****that****offers.接下来则陈述学生的教育经历和所取得的成绩，例如：Theyear2001witnessedmyenrollmentinWuhanUniversity,whereImajoredinBusinessEnglish.WuhanUniversityisakeyuniversitydirectlyundertheadministrationoftheEducationMinistryofthePeople'sRepublicofChinaandlistedinProject211.ItislocatedinHubeiProvince'scapitalWuhanknownasThethoroughfareleadingtonineprovinces.Benefitedfromthebrilliantachievementsachievedduringthepasthundredyearsandstimulatedbythenewchallenge,WuhanUniversityisworkinghardforbuildinganumberofdisciplineswiththefirst-ratelevelsintheworld,bringdevelopmentintherelevantdisciplinecirclesoftheworld,achievingalargenumberofachievementsinbasictheoreticalandhigh-technologicalstudies,whichareimportant,creativeandevenepoch-making,andfosteringquitemanypersonnelhavinghighqualitiesandoriginalideas.Inthefouryears’universitystudies,I,apersistentstudentwithstrongstudyingability,firmlybelievedthattheperiodatuniversitywasagoldentimeformetoacquireknowledgeandgrowfromastudenttoasocialadult,whichwasalsoofvitalimportanceformywholelife.Henceallalong,Istudiedeverycourseseriouslyandachievedexcellentacademicrecords,rankingtopinourclass.Besidestheacademicachievements,Ialsoenlargedmykenofknowledge,enrichedgreatvisionandcultivatedstrongabilitiesinindependentthinkingandsolvingvariousproblems.Meanwhile,uponthespecializedpursuits,IfoundthatIdevelopedkeeninterestinthefieldofmarketing.HenceIalsobrowsedextensivelytherelativematerialsinordertoenhancemyunderstandinginthisfield.下面是很重要的一部分，即为何对所要申请的专业感兴趣，例如：Worthmentioning,nowadays,Ihavealsofoundthatthemodernsocietyisindireneedoftalentsspecializedinmarketlayoutandmanagement.Onlythoseenterprisesthatpossessorderlyandeffectivemanagementcouldgainagoodstart,makecorrecttargetandwinaninvincibleplaceinthefiercecompetition.Therefore,Iearnestlyhopetopursueoverseasstudiesinyouresteemedcountrytofurtherstudyinthisfield.以下则是陈述自己为何有能力胜任学习这一课程，例如：I’mpassionateforexplorationbecauseIowngreatcuriosityfortheunknownthings,andIbelievetherewillbenothingthatblocksmypursuitofnewtheoryandknowledge.Ihaveextensiveinterestssuchassportsandmusic,andinthesparetimeIoftenrelaxmyselfinsuchways.Besides,thankstothepracticeasastudentleaderofourclassatuniversity,Iimprovedgreatmypersonalability.InthesocialworkIdidatuniversity,Ilearntmuchintherealmofmanagementandcommunication.Meanwhile,Ialsokeptaharmoniousrelationshipwithmypeers.Clearlyknowingwhattheyreallyneeded,Iservedthemheartandsoulandgainedhighefficiencyandquality.Thus,Ihaveconfidencethatmyqualitydeservesyourfavorableconsideration.所谓众里寻她千百度，选择学校是人生中很重要的一步，所以必须慎重。那么为何在芸芸院校中偏偏选择了她？学生需要作明确的陈述，例如：Allalong,IadmireUKsomuch,andIamalsoafanofthestyleofgentleman.IdeemthatIhavelaidasolidfoundationofessentialknowledge,andI’meagertofurtherpursuemoreadvancedconceptsinthisfieldthroughstudyingyourdistinguishedprogram.IexpecttogotoUK,amarvelousdevelopedcountrytoachievemygoals.Boastingherlonghistoryandadvancedeconomy,UKpossessesfirst-classqualityeducationandteachingfacilities.Meanwhile,withherbeautifulcampus,advancedmanagerialexperience,denseacademia,strongfacultyteamaswellassomanyexcellentgraduates,yourreputableuniversityenjoysagoodfameparticularlyforthefieldIchoosetostudy.Ibelieve,studyingthere,Iwouldgreatlyincreasemyknowledge,improvemycomprehensivecapacityandmakeanimportantpacetorealizemyvalueinlife.末尾一部分，也就是通常的套话（礼貌用语），而特别针对留学申请的学生来说，最好阐明自己只是去求学，毕业后仍希望回国效力，这是基于签证申请时应该考虑的问题，以免签证官误会申请人出国的动机不纯。例如：Aftergraduation,Ihopetoreturntomymotherlandandpursueasuitableposttodisplaymyadvantagetothefullestextent,perfectlycombiningwhatIwouldhaveacquiredinUKwiththepracticalsituationofourcountryandcarvingoutmyowncareer.I’mlookingforwardtoyourpromptandfavorablereply!Thankyouverymuchforyourkindprocessing.Applicant:****(Date)****最后，需要提示的是，申请国外的学校，一定要认真准备自己的个人陈述，它是学校了解学生的第一个窗口，对offer的给予与否具有十分重要的意义。（本文作者：澳际出国留学翻译部张老师）特别声明：本文为澳际出国留学原创文章，未经许可请勿以任何形式转载。
