一、个人陈述范文
Since childhood, frequent visits to China have allowed me to see how even my small home village has developed into a large vibrant town. Observing how this economic growth has impacted virtually all aspects of Chinese life sparked my interest in economics. By continuing this onto A-level studies, I have been able to discover how theories in economics shape society and fundamentally define how choices are being made. Beginning to understand the nature of firms and markets has allowed me to explore various aspects of the economic reform in China, and how this has had a significant impact on the global market. This is why I would like to study economics further,to better my appreciation of the influence economic changes have on society.
Since beginning A-level, I have enjoyed reading the Financial Times and Economax regularly, allowing me to discover how economics is applied to important current issues and events. I have read further books such as 'A Very Short Introduction to Capitalism' by her. This has given me an insight into the beginnings of a capitalist free market in the UK and how society has developed around this market. I especially enjoyed Legrain's 'Open World:/ The Truth About Globalisation'. This offered a powerful argument in favour of globalisation covering issues such as migration, trade, the environment and technology. Also, through reading 'The Undercover Economist' by ord and 'The Armchair Economist' by sburg, I am beginning to discover how economics relates to everyday decisions, enabling me to more fully develop my reasoning skills.
I have also been keen to learn about the subject first-hand. I was lucky to gain invaluable work experience at a private equity investment firm. This was inspiring as I hope that a degree in Economics would enable meto enter this type of career. During the summer of 2007, I had a taste of working in China, auditing for China Rightson Certified Public Accountancy and working at State Grid in the finance department. The experience of working in a country in transition to a market made me realise how far China will have to change if it is to successfully adopt the ethos of a true market economy. Currently I am part of a team competing in the Target Two Point Zero challenge, assuming the role of the MPC, which is improving my analysis skills of the macro economy.
Academically, I have been awarded form prizes for four consecutive years and a prestigious King Edward Scholarship, awarded to only two people per year, for my GCSE performance. In addition, I have been awarded merit awards in both Junior and Intermediate Maths Olympiads on three occasions, and a distinction in the Senior Maths Olympiad. As a member of the National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth, I attended a summer residential further maths course which I thoroughly enjoyed.
As a member of the school's student council in lower years, I represented my form, communicating their ideas to the council. Now, as an elected prefect, I continue this task as well as contributing to the smooth running of the school. Attending my local Chinese school each week has allowed me to become fluent in the language and has developed my understanding of Chinese history and culture. I led a team in the Envision Charity Scheme, organising events to protect the local environment; and as project manager for my Education in Engineering Scheme project, I was awarded a Gold Crest award. Additionally, I have been a maths mentor for students in local primary schools and at school maths master-classes. I am a keen guitarist, regularly playing in guitar ensembles and I have represented school and house at rugby and chess, as well as competing for Warwickshire County Badminton at U16.
I am looking forward to developing my interest in globalisation as well as furthering my analytical skills as an economist. I also hope I can continue to pursue my outside interests, contributing to the life of the university.
二、个人陈述写作技巧
注重故事性,不要平白陈述
如果给你机会选择,你是更愿意读小说还是新闻报纸呢?很明显是小说。因为新闻仅仅能是陈述一些新闻,用一些显眼的标题吸引你的注意。而一篇小说讲述的是一个故事,让你产生更多情感上的共鸣,让你身临其境假设自己也沉浸在故事的主线当中。
“量化”你的故事
要注意你的故事不仅仅是提供一些无关紧要的信息,记住你的故事要围绕着你自己展开,让读者获取关于你更多的信息。说到信息,你所展现的故事不仅要定性还要定量,也就是说最好要用具体的数字来辅助展现,帮助读者更好的理解你所做的深度。
注重细节
首先你要确定自己在个人陈述当中要说什么,确定主线和主题,然后用细节点进行阐述。不要想当然的说一些你认为能够给取悦于录取委员会的空话。不论你说什么内容,都要注重细节。
提前做工作
在确定申请的学校之前,一定要提前做好功课。对于你要申请的学校的细节十分了解。首先列出你比较关注的点,然后一项一项的去了解。
向教授寻求意见
在写完自己的个人陈述之后,最好找到相关领域的教授品评。作为一名教授,在业内领域的经验也是十分丰富的,他们往往会给你很多专业方面的经验,尤其是给很多学生做过推荐人,有过国外求学或是交流经验的老师,他们的建议更加宝贵。
三、个人陈述写作注意事项
1.不要遗漏掉那些有用的和中肯的成就、经验等等事实。
2.不要把高中甚至更早的成就也不厌其烦地列在自述上。因为中国学生申请的学位最低的也是硕士研究生,大学时期的成绩或是随后工作上的成就更为贴切。
3.最好不提的还有政治观点、宗教信仰和其他一切容易引起争议的不同寻常的话题。
4.写自述时没有必要对自己的事业和生活道路上的挫折讳莫如深。只是在描述或提到经历的苦难,挫折或失败时,切记不要流露出乞求怜悯恩赐,或气愤怀恨的情绪。
5.写自述绝对不能一蹴而就,写好后需反复修改,清除啰嗦多余部分,增加与针对申请学校和专业相对应的内容,密切注意句与句之间,段落之间,及整篇文章意思的逻辑联系,可以多听听老师或前辈的意见。
6.务必做到文章中不存在任何语法或拼写上的低级错误。
