英国留学个人陈述书写指南 这样写更精彩
针对个人陈述的书写,首先需要知道它的写作格式及内容,然后进行深入的阐述,许多同学在写作方面会很头疼。别担心,今天我爱学习网小编为大家带来了英国留学个人陈述书写指南。
1.标题
通常来说,个人陈述的标题可以直接用Personal Statement 或者Statement of Purpose,请把标题写在正文之前或者做在页眉页脚里面。因为PS通常属于学校要求提交的文书类型之一,如果自己取题可能和其他类型的文书搞混,所以一般建议不要为了出彩而擅自更改题目;外国人相对也比较喜欢规范化和标准化的格式,不然也就不会出现论文的标准化格式,比如APA了。
2.页眉与页脚
个人陈述中可以添加页眉和页脚,你可以写下你的姓名,申请学校或申请专业等等信息,比如:University of XXX , Personal Statement。请注意,内容要精简,这才不会显得冗杂,便于查阅;其实面对这么多份的申请文书,招生委员会的老师也难免头疼和疲倦,这跟高考语文阅卷一样,所以格式的标准、一目了然就会给他们留下不错的印象。
3.正文布局
根据国外写作的习惯,个人陈述的正文一般顶格写,选择两端对齐的排版方式(这样看上去比较舒服些,但好多外国学生习惯左对齐,这也是可接受的),段落与段落之间可以空一行,便于查看。
4.字体及间距
个人陈述通常在Microsoft Word中 编写,正文可以使用Times New Roman 或者Arial 的十二号字体,单倍行距。 当然,必须留心个别学校个别院系可能会有比较细致的要求,自己需要多加留意,从而做出相应的调整。
5.字数
一般来说,学校对个人陈述的字数要求控制在1,000字左右,当然,一般是800-900字之间。就差不多是两页的样子。不过有些学校会对留学文书有明确的字数要求,如果明确要求你的PS在500字左右,这个时候你就只能尽力删字数了。在国外,要逐渐适应“标准就是标准”,没有讨价还价的余地。狠狠心吧那就!!
6.行数
根据一般的经验,个人陈述的行数通常控制在44~48行。你可以在Word->File->Page Setup->Document Grid->Lines Per page里面修改。
7.结尾
个人陈述的正文结束之后,可以加上Signature 和Date,显得比较正式。
Signature:________________________
Date:____________________________
最后,交纳电子版个人陈述的时候,建议把文章转成PDF 格式,一方面因为Word在网上提交的时候很多情况下都会出现格式的不兼容或者变化的问题,从而将你费尽心思排好版本的文书搞得“面目全非”;另一方面PDF格式的文件在浏览时会显得更加美观整洁;当然如果是直接在线提交,那么就不存在这个问题。
接着来看看写作技巧。
技巧一、保证真实
招生官每天看上千份PS,你写的是否真实,是否有撒谎的成分,招生官一看便知。所以,学生在写PS的时候,不要故作聪明,去编造一些你没有的经历,夸大自己实力。PS一定要和简历保持匹配。
技巧二、词藻过于华丽
想要把PS写的有水平一些,这是每个学生都应该展现的。但是,不要为了达到这种效果,用过于生僻的词汇,来显示自己的高级,以至于招生老师还要去查字典才知道是什么意思。IDP君可以坦白的告诉你,招生官也是没有太大耐心的哦!
技巧三、内容泛泛可陈
也就是说,内容要实在,不要太空泛。你或许谈到你的理想,你对未来的规划,切记不要谈到太过不切实际,太过难以实现。说出你真实的想法,以及你将为之的规划就好。
技巧四、简单罗列活动经历
在英国留学申请个人陈述中,罗列自己的成就是非常危险的行为。招生官想要看到的不是你参加活动的量,而是你在这个活动中的成长,所扮演的角色,以及你的品性和各种潜力。
最后来看看参考范文。
