准备加拿大留学申请的材料,所有的学生都不要忘记了准备文书才来哦,这是影响大家申请的重要软件材料。跟着的我看一看加拿大留学个人陈述PS写作要求。
写作要点
1、突出重点,主线明确,清楚有力地表达求学动机和学习学术能力。
在国内有一种错误的观点,要“煽情”才能有效果。有的留学申请人就通过描述不相干活动展示“独特”的性格,或是学术上感觉没有什么可写的,就写自己考试时克服了重重困难,如何考取了好成绩。这是根本不着边际的写法,会让录取者发掘不到你的特点。要知道,你是要在很短的时间内,清楚地用几百字告诉招生教授你是入学(奖学金)非常合格的人选,盲目“煽情”完全不需要。
2、结构简单,衔接紧密,留学文书其实是你个人的广告!要重点突出,形象鲜明。
仔细想想,留下深刻印象的广告哪个不是简明而富有创意的?许多申请人往往想把自己的全部优点都写出来告诉教授,觉得这样才能全面的展现自己。但是,招生官们要阅读数量可观的留学申请资料,只有那种简单有力的文章才能让人印象深刻。我们的理念是简明而富有创意的。
3、符合西方思维习惯,文化的差异导致东西方在什么是美德和优缺点的看法上不尽相同。
我们在以往的经历中发现,有些留学申请人表达出来的“优点”实际上在西方看来是缺点,反映申请人对学术问题毫无主见;而有些申请人认为不好的东西恰恰是西方人所欣赏的,认为这些能表现出申请人布满个性。所以申请人要了解如何以西方的思维方式取舍你的申请素材,把有益的亮点有选择性地挑选出来,在适当地篇幅里展示出来。
PS结构
一段:
通常为简短的个人简介,比如在哪个大学哪个专业。最后一句话一定要强调,你想申请的专业。(10%篇幅,下同)
二段:
说明自己的研究兴趣。研究兴趣和个人兴趣务必要与申请的专业契合,避免说“正确的废话”。(25%)
三段:
说明为什么你想申请某大学的某专业。这一段要尽量写出此学校和此专业的与众不同。简单的说,就是为什么这个学校吸引你,为什么这个专业吸引你。比如,该专业就业前景好,或者研究水平高,该学校的地理位置好,学校的师资力量强,专业排名好等等。并且最好结合学生将来的职业规划,让导师了解该学生是一个有着长远打算的学生,有思想。(25%)
四段:
要表明你为什么是个合格的申请者。这一段你要强调你个人的与众不同之处。但是首先要表明你超越了学校规定的基本入学指标。以后结合自己的优点来表明你是一个合格的申请者。比如你有快速的学习能力,扎实的专业知识,对该研究领域无与伦比的热爱等。(30%)
结尾段:
再次表明自己的决心,对研究方向的热情等。如果被录取,一定能快速投入学习和研究中去等等。(10%)
PS范文
It is my conviction that the meaning of life does not dwell in the length of time that one can live or the material abundance that one can acquire, but in the richness and the wonderfulness of life itself. With the increase of my age, many things in my life have changed. But one thing remains constant, that is, I will consistently insist on doing what I like to do and hope that my endeavors can be valuable to the life of others. I see this as the only way whereby I can realize the value of my life.
My undergraduate study focused on economics and I achieved remarkable scholastic performance in this field. My GPA is 3.44 (my GRE score is 2020 and TOEFL---- ). For four consecutive years of my undergraduate study, I received scholarships for my distinguished academic performance. Due to my equally prominent performance in extracurricular activities I was conferred on the Outstanding Student in Campus Activities. However, honestly speaking, my real interest lies not in economics, but in education. Ever since I was a primary school student, I had cherished a strong desire for a teaching career exemplified by my teachers. In the actual teaching career that I embarked on upon my graduating from university, I have become increasingly aware that the existing educational conditions in China are far from satisfactory. The backward teaching methodology and the prevailing pedagogical ideology have rendered Chinese education out of place with the modern international development in education. On the macro level, the current education theory and practice in China lag significantly behind advanced countries in the West. For instance, though education via the internet has achieved considerable development in past two years, in practical operation such education has more often than not deteriorated into an extended form of the conventional examination-oriented education instead of a really interactive process. In my personal experience, despite the fact that some of the problems that I have encountered in my teaching career can be solved by consulting relevant technical literature, I have found that the more serious flaws inherent in China's current educational system cannot be worked out easily. Under such circumstances, an advanced program in education becomes necessary.
In this age of information, traditional education, both in its ideology and methodology, has met unprecedented challenge like many other aspects of human existence. Meanwhile, the pursuit for higher levels of educational development and of the quality of life has largely transformed the educational value orientation of the general public. The educational model that is centered around the cognitive and intellectual instruction has been seriously questioned. Greater attention has been devoted to the cultivation of well-developed personality and to the ontological status of the individual in education. Such issues as the internal studies of education science, scientific decision-making in education, and meta-education have also been increasingly emphasized upon. There have also been innovations in educational research methodology. The tendency has been to combine modern technology with humanistic research categories and with naturalistic research categories, and to organically integrate qualitative descriptions with quantitative descriptions. It is also important to carry out educational experimentations in which educational predictions are complemented by educational feedbacks. Both the complexity of education and the complexity of human individuals have made the comprehensive application of diverse educational approaches necessary. Those new horizons are what fascinate me.
In view of the following qualifications that I have acquired, I believe that I will acquit myself satisfactorily in the prospective Ph.D. program in education that I am currently endeavoring to apply for. First and foremost, as is often claimed, one's interest is one's best director. I believe that I will do well what I am really interested in doing. Secondly, though I majored in economics as an undergraduate, my trainings during that stage helped develop effective modes of thinking and research approaches. In addition, I conscientiously self-studied many works related to education, including A Developmental History of Educational Science in the West, which enabled me to construct a solid groundwork for more advanced studies in this field. Next, it can be safely asserted that education and economics are not entirely separated. For example, it is necessary to apply many statistical methods in educational psychology and my academic record indicates that statistics is the subject that I am most good at. Last but not the least, my current teaching career and my teaching experience will play a positive role in facilitating my target degree program.
The reason why I apply for the University of ------------ is that it is the first state university with a time-honored history. The School of Education in this university is quite prominent among its counterparts in the field. I am particularly attracted by the School's powerful pedagogical resource, vibrant intellectual atmosphere and a comprehensive curriculum. I plan to apply for a degree program in Instructional Technology or Educational Psychology, both of which enjoy unparalleled academic reputation in the world. My application for Instructional Technology is motivated by my strong interest in the application of modern science and technology, especially the information technology represented by the Internet, in the field of education and in the nature of a series of revolutionary changes resulting thereof. Instructional Technology is a new discipline that has emerged as a result of the rapid development of modern communication technology since the late 20th century. It has tremendous potential for development and commercial application. As for my motive in selecting Educational Psychology as another possible area of specialization in my degree program, it is my long-cherished interest that primarily counts. On the other hand, all the accomplished educators since the 1960's have been well-versed in psychology. Almost every important new educational theory is derived psychological findings in one way or another so that educational psychology has subsequently developed into a fundamental subject for the science of education. The tendency in the 21st century is to emphasize on the micro research of educational activities and against this backdrop educational psychology will be attached greater importance. In Instructional Technology, I would like to focus on the following studies: how to improve educational efficiency by applying research results from natural sciences and engineering technology; how to explore the combination and coordination of pedagogical contents and to improve teaching methodology by exploiting the theoretical findings from psychology and educational science concerning the process of teaching and learning. In Educational Psychology, I will concentrate on applied cognition and development, gifted and creative education, genetics and children development, personality structure and individual differences and other related subjects.
For me, to shift from economics to education and to pursue an advanced degree in the United States is not so much a challenge as an opportunity. At present, major reforms are being introduced into virtually every important aspect of Chinese society. The field of education especially calls for comprehensive reforms. The United States occupies an absolutely leading position in the present-day world in education. It is my conviction that, in the United States, advanced educational theories, technologies and information will facilitate me immensely in the achievement of remarkable academic progress, fulfilling my aspiration to become an accomplished professional in the field of education. This will not only bring my patriotic fervor into reality but also make my life more meaningful and rewarding.
