Statement #1

My interest in science dates back to my years in high school, where I excelled in physics, chemistry, and math.When I was a senior, I took a first-year calculus course at a local college(such an advanced-level class was not available in high school)and earned an A.It seemed only logical that I pursue a career in electrical engineering.When I began my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of engineering courses, all of which tended to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in engineering.I've also had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the humanities and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live.In the realm of engineering, I have developed a special interest in the field of laser technology and have even been taking a graduate course in quantum electronics.Among the 25 or so students in the course, I am the sole undergraduate.Another particular interest of mine is electromagnetics, and last summer, when I was a technical assistant at a world-famous local lab, I learned about its many practical applications, especially in relation to microstrip and antenna design.Management at this lab was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask that I return when I graduate.Of course, my plans following completion of my current studies are to move directly into graduate work toward my master's in science.After I earn my master's degree, I intend to start work on my Ph.D.in electrical engineering.Later I would like to work in the area of research and development for private industry.It is in R & D that I believe I can make the greatest contribution, utilizing my theoretical background and creativity as a scientist.I am highly aware of the superb reputation of your school, and my conversations with several of your alumni have served to deepen my interest in attending.I know that, in addition to your excellent faculty, your computer facilities are among the best in the state.I hope you will give me the privilege of continuing my studies at your fine institution.(Stelzer pp.38-39)

Statement #2

on this essay, treating Morrison's other novels and perhaps preparing a paper suitable for publication.In my studies toward a doctoral degree, I hope to examine more closely the relationship between high and folk literature.My junior year and private studies of Anglo-Saxon language and literature have caused me to consider the question of where the pisions between folklore, folk literature, and high literature lie.Should I attend your school, I would like to resume my studies of Anglo-Saxon poetry, with special attention to its folk elements.Writing poetry also figures prominently in my academic and professional goals.I have just begun submitting to the smaller journals with some success and am gradually building a working manuscript for a collection.The dominant theme of this collection relies on poems that draw from classical, biblical, and folk traditions, as well as everyday experience, in order to celebrate the process of giving and taking life, whether literal or figurative.My poetry draws from and influences my academic studies.Much of what I read and study finds a place in my creative work as subject.At the same time, I study the art of literature by taking part in the creative process, experimenting with the tools used by other authors in the past.In terms of a career, I see myself teaching literature, writing criticism, and going into editing or publishing poetry.Doctoral studies would be valuable to me in several ways.First, your teaching assistant ship program would provide me with the practical teaching experience I am eager to acquire.Further, earning a Ph.D.in English and American literature would advance my other two career goals by adding to my skills, both critical and creative, in

working with language.Ultimately, however, I see the Ph.D.as an end in itself, as well as a professional stepping stone;I enjoy studying literature for its own sake and would like to continue my studies on the level demanded by the Ph.D.program.

Born in Beijing, China’s political capital, cultural center and economic hub, and nurtured in a well-cultured family and an empowering community, I have developed a meaningful outlook on lie.I identify myself with such values that one gives meaning to life when one lives to give.Success stories of my parents , relatives and friends along their career-path have entrenched my belief in being independent and confident as a contributing memeber of the community.As I look back on early days of my schooling , I am just as grateful to my working parents for having sent me to one of the best boarding schools in Beijing where I received quality primary education and learned to appreciate independence.As I recall , being independent was probably the biggest asset I gained as a teenager with the absence of parental guardianship for most of those 6 years.After I upgraded to secondary school, I offered to go to school by bike.Though hesitant at first, my parents gave their well-thought-out consent to the 15-km ride average Chinese parents would simply veto in the first place given the “one-child policy”and subsequent “little emperors” pampered by parents and grandparents.Thankfully, that day-to-day routine bike trip,rain or sunshine,tempered my strong character.I have been holding myself to highest standards, academically and physically from primary school days

through to college life.I have grown up all these years amongst top cohorts and have been exposed to varied horizons and dimensions of school life in and outside of classroom.I am perfectly healthy and stong with a sharp mind and demonstrated commitment to teamwork.I was handpicked to play for school baseball team when I was in primary school.Back then, my proven leadership and excellent skills in the field assured my coach that I was born to be a team leader.And I did justice to his well-timed appointment by heading a team of Beijing to compete in Shanghai and Hong Kong several times.And the strong track record of out outstanding performances each time still fills me with pride and excitement today.During one match tour to Hong Kong in the 1990s, I was immediatel exposed to the enviable luxury and prosperity of the city,the dynamic economic center of Asia.That trip awakened me ,for the first time, to the value of wealth and finance.And it was that very journey to the thriving metropolis that shaped my ambition to be a financer.Years later,when the colleg entrance exam came,that moment of life and death for most of senior high school students in China,my top preference was Finance Colllege of Beijing Technology and Business Unversity.The result came as a sad surprise as I was admitted to Computer Science College instead.But I stuck with my dream major and decided to minor in finance.I have since worked hard to equip myself with systematic knowledge of finance.As a result , I amd now well on my

way to graduation with double degrees in both computer science and finance in 2012.During my college days,I led my cohorts in starting up a micro company as I dabbled into the real business world.We settled for newspaper as our maiden attempt..As a new horn,I took a hands-on approach, from editing to circulating, from cost control to market survey.My strong leadership and sunergy of the entire team kept this mini organization going pretty well in its infancy.Yet inexperience in operation and cost management led to a failed business in the end.But I saw the silver lining in the failed venture.I now know more about where I need to work on.When I was a little boy, my parents taught me how to manage money in the safest way.They helped me put my pocket money in the bank and get interest as a return.Now, as a grown-up already,I recognize that systematic learning and book knowledge can truely help me know how much more about what finance is all about.Naturally, as one’s knowledge about swimming increases, the desire to swim in the sea grows.Yet, with more academic exposure, I have come to realize how I am ill-equipped with the knowledge needed to stay afloat in the trubulent sea of finance.That self-conscious humbleness versus the profundiy of finance as a much-respected discipline has led me to opt for further study in the US,home to a number of world-class colleges of finance.After meticulous comparision and cross-checking, I have settled for

Clark University,the birthplace of the first-ever graduate school in the US.I trust that demanding academic standards here and ,best of all ,great mastermind of finance that Clark can offer will undoubtedly broaden my horizon and update my vision as financier of the future.To me,Clark is the best and right place that can surely make the difference, academically and professionally alike.I am more than anxious to embrace those best minds in Clark and contribute my humble part to its huge wealth of knowledge and innovative ideas.I am therefore very much looking forward to a positive reply from Clark, my dream campus.May that offer come just in time for my journey towards a rewading learning experience in one of the greatest colleges in the US.

Personal Statement

I found my faithful love for finance quite early as my uncle, a financial accountant, began to teach me some simple financial knowledge when he provided me with additional coaching of mathematics since I was young.Then as I learned more academic knowledge in finance, E-Finance for example, in college, I gradually made up my mind to develop it as my future career.Thus I’m now applying to your programme of Accounting and Finance MSc to enrich me with more in-depth knowledge in finance.During undergraduate study, I’ve got a systematic learning in Microeconomics, E-Finance, E-Commerce, E-Marketing and Logistics Management of E-Commerce.In particular, I performed excellent in E-Finance as I scored 91, the highest mark in my class, and I became much more familiar with e-banking, online securities trading and the working processes of call center.In the final year of undergraduate study, I’m now learning Principle of Management, Case Study of the Security of E-Commerce, The Criteria and Law in E-Commerce, Customer Behavior and International Trade Affairs.In terms of quantitative courses, I have learned Advanced Mathematics, Linear Algebra and Probability Theory & Mathematical Statistics and in the last course I’ve mainly studied central limit theorem, the principal distributions, testing of statistical hypotheses, parameter estimation, linearity regression and equal analysis, and stochastic differential equations.With my great efforts, I got 85.66 for current overall average and 87.64 for the average of E-Commerce major specializations and ranked of 5/53 and 4/53 respectively in my class.In addition, I was awarded B-class scholarship and won the title of ‘Excellent Student’ as well in 2008.Besides focusing on professional study, I also pay a great attention to improving leadership.Shortly after I entered into the college, I joined in the Literature & Art Unit of the Student Union.In a year, I perfectly accomplished my work, such as field arranging and programme planning, etc., in holding the award ceremony of the Webpage Design Competition and the English Culture Festival.For my excellent leadership and organizing ability showed in the above activities, I was elected as the president of the Unit in September 2007.Thereafter, I successfully organized many ceremonies and festivals which were widely appreciated by students and teachers.When being active in extra-curriculum activities, I also grasped chances to develop my English capacity.I once participated in the shows of English Culture Festival---the English dramas Beauty and the Beast, and Titanic---in which my oral English was well practiced.Meanwhile, I also focused on cross-culture communication as I made friends with several oversea students from England, Finland, and France.I was quite fascinated with the European culture they introduced to me which impelled me to get my postgraduate study in UK.Through the above preparation, I’m sure that I’ve got ready to study in Manchester.I believe with a hard work I can have a deep insight in the accounting and financial courses you provide and what I would learn can greatly contribute to my career development---after graduation, I will work as a financial analyst in a key investment firm in China, and when being experienced with practical financial investment operations, I then plan to be a senior financial advisor in a world famous investment bank.

Personal Statement（Education）

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 inpidual 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 inpiduals have made the comprehensive application of perse 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 inpidual 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.Personal Statement

（Business）

Mystified by people who reached the zenith of their career at a young age, I have longed to become one of them since my childhood.After eighteen years of cherishing this never-withering dream, I have often pondered what kind of qualities and beliefs contributed to their success.Even though there are answers in books, I would very much like to find out the truth by my own experience.I believe wit once bought is worth twice taught;and I can bootstrap my way up to the pinnacle of my profession.At that moment, fortune smiled on me.In my sophomore year, as soon as I heard the University planned to select three students from a pool of more than twenty thousand candidates for an exchange program with Western Kentucky University, America, I realized it would be a perfect opportunity for me to widen my horizon and to enrich my knowledge.Even though the selection criteria were very stringent and demanded students not only to have outstanding academic performance and to speak fluent English, it also required the candidate to have independence and abilities to organize, dispose and coordinate complex affairs, and to be able to overcome all kinds of difficulties.I was opted for attending the final interview after a series of selective trials.Then I was ruled out for I didn't have the English Certificate stipulated.When I heard that, I was very disappointed.Should I allow the stereotype to ruin the opportunity around the corner? At that moment, my high school headmaster's words came to me: “opportunity knocks on the door softly”.For my dreams, I must fight hard and prove my strength to the appraisal panel.Because of my persistent requests, I finally gained an opportunity, persuaded the examiners by my idiomatic and fluent English, and became one of the three winners.In retrospect, I have learned that even though extraordinary personal qualities are key factors contributing to my abilities to organize various large scale activities at the University and Western Kentucky University, keen perception and clear vision to asses the potential for opportunities are also very important in life.Even though I can declare confidently that I have acquired many of these fundamental capacities, the study of merchant princes' success stories has taught me that I must cultivate an attitude promoting research independence, leadership and a team spirit.With the aid of the world-class program offered by your Business School, I can not fail.I have deeply engraved in my memory the historic moment when the famous American President, Franklin Roosevelt, announced America's participation in World War II.I am overwhelmed by his brilliant decision and pine for becoming a person of consequence who can control not only his own fate but also inspire many others to fulfill their own destiny.The reason that I have chosen Business Planning Management is that I am fond of giving counsel and enjoy the challenge of devising strategies within a command objective.Besides my efforts to solidify my skills in my chosen field, I have also found many sources of learning and improvement in books, lectures and symposiums.I have attempted to integrate theory with practice during several of my internships.Among the examples I could site would be my experiences at DTZ Debenham Tie Leung.This international real estate advisor with offices in forty six countries allowed me to practice my skills and to incorporate my knowledge in many areas toward the discipline of market research and analysis.During this experience, when compiling questionnaires, I had to design and develop mechanisms that allowed the surveys to be not only comprehensible to the respondent, but a pleasant experience as well.I had to make sure that the wording of the questions was straightforward and unambiguous.As to the content of the questionnaires, I employed my professional knowledge and wide-ranging experience skillfully and strategically in order for the surveys to be congruent with the purpose of the investigation.In addition, I exploited the methodologies I had learnt flexibly and adopted suitable ways and means when dealing with inpidual questions.For example, I chose Likert scale method to measure consumers' attitude toward a particular building and to measure their personal preferences.Furthermore, when working on the layout of the questionnaires, I considered whether or not the whole content was substantive and straightforward.Further, I considered whether or not the format was clearly written and finely pided;whether or not the manner of the question was appropriate, and whether or not the questions fit the psychological profile of the interviewee.Finally, I addressed the issue of executive charisma.I needed to be able to identify potential interviewees quickly and accurately, interact with them effectively and efficiently, adapt quickly to different types of inpiduals, persuade the interviewee of the efficacy of my research, and insure that the responses would have statistical validity.During this process, I learnt to incarnate and concretize abstract knowledge and concepts, and to adapt my way of thinking to accommodate the situation and inpiduals with whom I was dealing.By so doing, my communication skills, adaptive faculties, and psychological make-up were improved and tempered greatly.Most importantly, it reinforced my positive views about the society, the country and its people.In China, there are still many important questions to answer.Such questions as how to solve logistics costs in circulation enterprises, how to develop corporate culture, how small and medium-size enterprises compete with big business and foreign enterprises in terminal markets, how domestic companies consolidate resources and work out correct strategies after China's accession into WTO, need to be answered.All of these questions will be the focus of my future research interests.I believe an overseas education can help me broaden my outlook, acquaint myself with approaches that advanced countries adopt to treat real issues in enterprises, and will help me acquire knowledge on how to discover, analyze and solve problems.I intend to plunge into the pioneering work of discriminating methodologies beneficial to Chinese companies' development.In an excellent foreign environment, I can also get in touch with a variety of people, distinct cultures and different means of disposing matter, which, in turn, will spur me to become a well-informed and comprehensive person, and an elite talent as well.Moreover, I have also learnt from personal experience that America has ultramodern experimental equipments.It has a democratic, united, dynamic, stable and harmonious academic atmosphere, and direct human relations.All of these elements will help me deploy my talent in full, contact on the cutting edge of sciences, and learn the best practice trends in the world.These elements will further help me to develop into a professional who can truly accustom himself to various environments and societies.Unequivocally I can state that self-confidence, self-reliance and self-learning abilities are three of my virtues.With them, I easily succeeded in Western Kentucky University.I believe there is still vast scope for me to tap my potential in my chosen field.Now, at this turning point in my life, I am full of eagerness, optimism and passion.I am confident while the path to success is often scattered with obstacles and hindrances, with great effort, motivation and commitment, academic accomplishment will be well within my reach.Therefore, I aspire to catch this precious opportunity of pursuing a PhD degree at your world-famed university just as before and to realize my dream of becoming a first-class business leader so as to contribute to the company's, the nation's, and even the world's harmony and progress.Personal Statement（International Marketing）

As a 23-year-old aspiring student who has grown up and received his education in pace with the evolution of China’s market economy over the past two decades, I deem myself in possession of many professional qualities for undertaking a career in advanced marketing and business management.I believe that I have demonstrated more creativity, management skills, English language proficiency, and the courage to accept challenges than most of my peers on a number of important occasions?being selected from a large number of competitors to study at XX University of XX on an exchange program, winning prize in the XX for University Students, launching my own company upon completing my undergraduate program.My interest and my demonstrated abilities show me unmistakably that to take up a lifelong career in high-level marketing management will be very appropriate for me because that is where my potential lies.In order to scale new heights academically and to lay a solid foundation for my later-day career development, I would like to apply for a Master’s program in international marketing at the prestigious Business School in XX University.For me, this is a self-conscious attempt to face challenge and to transcend my former self.I expect to be initiated into a first-rate academic environment in which my academic foundation is consolidated and my business potential is strengthened.It was in XX Technology and Business School that I completed my undergraduate education, majoring in marketing.As an academic discipline, marketing fascinated me for its increasingly important strategic role in modern management and for its interdisciplinary character, as it encompasses management science, psychology, sociology, statistics, etc.From the very outset of my undergraduate program, I realized the importance of seeking a comprehensive development, on both academic and personal levels, in order to become a senior management professional in the future.Therefore, throughout my undergraduate program, I endeavored to make full exploitation of all the available educational resources of my university to improve my academic performance.An examination of my academic transcript will indicate that I have maintained a year-by-year ascendance in my study.Apart from that, I have also been very active in extracurricular activities and learned German and XX languages besides English.My ability to perform independent research was cultivated and improved through writing my internship treatise and graduation thesis, both of which were given a 95-point score, the highest score in my class.In particular, my thesis On the Marketing of Hi-Tech Products, by focusing on the major business risks involved in the marketing of hi-tech products and on the short and uncertain life cycle of those products, was rated “Excellent” for detailed analyses and novel perspectives that I offered in it.The most important part of my undergraduate graduate program is definitely my short but memorable stay in XX.As a junior, I was selected through a competitive screening test to embark on a 4-month exchange program with XX’s XX Polytechnic on the strengths of my distinguished academic performance, English proficiency and computer skills.This exciting and memorable experience proved extremely beneficial to me?I gained marked improvement in my English, was exposed to a totally different life style and educational system, and achieved new understanding of the concept of marketing.Plunged into a new academic environment, I demonstrated a creative and a critical spirit rare in Chinese students, and won appreciation from my XX professors.In attending the course High Tech Marketing, my team members and I spent the entire semester verifying the plausibility of a business proposal that I raised but was rejected by my XX advisor.Under my insistence and through my continued refinement, my business proposal achieved eventual success and has been incorporated into the overall business plan of XX Company.In another course International Business Plan, my fruitful collaboration with my XX classmates led to our team’s winning of the unprecedented full mark in the final evaluation of our course project.I also accumulated important experience of performing group research in the eAcademy project headed by Dr.XX, in which I was responsible for the marketing planning of the enterprise.Upon completing my undergraduate program, with the support of my friends and family members, I launched my own XX Trade Company that deals in medical equipment and provides hospital management consulting service.In doing this, I became one of the few Chinese graduates who established their own business.My business impulse originated from two sources.The first is my participation in the XX for University Students in which my team won Excellence Award(my responsibility was to formulate marketing plans for our “Optimum” Company and to conduct market surveys).Another is my internship as a senior student at an e-commerce company during which I planned and organized market investigations in preparation for the marketing of the company’s latest product?Hospital Management Information System.I saw myself as possessing necessary business management skills and marketing potential.Managing my own company, making real business plans and designing real marketing strategies, all those have allowed me to apply my knowledge and to tap my business potential.In making this bold move, I wish to develop a clear understanding of what I am good at and to chart the course of my future career development.My present application for a Master’s program at your esteemed university is motivated by my need to receive further academic input that will enable me to develop my company into a major enterprise.According to modern management theories, successful enterprises must be highly customer-oriented and marketing is no longer the job of a particular functional department of an enterprise.As a developing country with a planned economy for many decades, China lacks a well-developed science of management and marketing, and the current marketing practices are far from mature as marketing as a standard academic discipline is only of recent origin.Yet this may prove a blessing in disguise for me as I am located at the crucial point of China’s development in marketing theory and practice and I will enjoy greater chances of success.In my proposed degree program, I would like to focus on the marketing of Hi-tech products and on the marketing of multinational companies under cultural pluralism.The relationship between marketing and cultural pluralism has long been my major research concern and during my study in XX I have already paid special attention to the impact of cultural differences between East and West on marketing.In my future studies, I will be exposed a greater cultural persity, which I believe will further facilitate my study and research.It is an art to deal with the subtle relationship between culture and marketing and I need to gain more understanding and experience in this regard.Young as I am, I am fully aware of the transitory nature of life and all that I can do is to race against time to maximize knowledge and expertise and to enrich the value of my life within the limited span of my life.Through my future study, I wish to develop myself into a marketing specialist.This is an objective, and I am in possession of the necessary foundation, academic and professional, and the potential for realizing this objective.Personal Statement(Electrical Engineering)

It’s all about the headline.It’s about getting your point across in the most direct way you can.These personal statements are very good example of this, in just a few lines I have to get my message of why I want do a degree in Journalism across to my prospective universities.That is one of the reasons why I love to write, the challenge of putting over a complex thought or concept to a large audience of people and convey it in such a way everybody will understand it.As the great writer Hemingway once said, “My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.”

My own personal experience of journalism started young, my dad used to write for a magazine and take me with him when he went to interview people, since then I have been fascinated with the industry.When I was 14 I was lucky enough to get a work experience placement at “News International” in Wapping.I got to work on the websites of “FiredUp.com”, “Revolver.com” and “Page3.com” as well as have a tour of the offices of “The Sun”, “News Of The World” and “The Times”, I have also recently been offered a day’s work experience at my local paper and I am currently waiting for news of work experience at the BBC.I pride myself on being well organised and thorough in my research.I have also developed many skills such as interview techniques and being able to see things from another perspective, a skill I have acquired through Sociology and Communication Studies, analytical skills through Film Studies and Media Studies and I have learnt about analysing and collating numerical data and factual evidence in Psychology.Although I have already completed three A-Levels and two AS Levels, I have taken a year out to study AS French, Sociology and Spanish.I did this in order to improve my grades and to give me a wider choice of qualifications as my previous subjects are all very similar with their syllabus as well the fact multiple languages would be an invaluable advantage to have when working in the area of communication.Some of my outside interests are music, politics, the Internet and reading.Music in particular is a great love of mine, I regularly attend “gigs” and concerts and have been an active member of the “Sum 41 Street Team” for over a year, this involves spreading publicity through flyers and posters to promote the band, I find it very fulfilling and enjoyable.Another one of my interests is the Internet, I contribute articles to a site dealing with issues such as “top-up fees” and other important student matters, which I enjoy greatly and is helping to improve my knowledge of university for the future.I have a part time job waitressing at a local hotel which I do a few nights a week.It gives me a sense of my own independence and responsibility, I also help my mother at the local Red Cross during half terms and holidays cooking for the elderly and have also recently volunteered to sell Poppies for Remembrance Sunday throughout my town.Another activity of mine is being my tutor group representative for our college’s student council and regularly attend meetings to deal with concerns of the student body.I am thoughtful, organised and handle pressure well, I love to write and it is my ambition to do so, I believe I can bring many things to the courses I have selected and in turn can get a lot out of them as well.Personal Statement

Having majored in literary studies(world literature)as an undergraduate, I would now like to concentrate on English and American literature.I am especially interested in nineteenth-century literature, women's literature, Anglo-Saxon poetry, and folklore and folk literature.My personal literary projects have involved some combination of these subjects.For the oral section of my comprehensive exams, I specialized in nineteenth century novels by and about women.The relationship between “high” and folk literature became the subject for my honors essay, which examined Toni Morrison's use of classical, biblical, African, and Afro-American folk tradition in her novel.I plan to work further on this essay, treating Morrison's other novels and perhaps preparing a paper suitable for publication.In my studies toward a doctoral degree, I hope to examine more closely the relationship between high and folk literature.My junior year and private studies of Anglo-Saxon language and literature have caused me to consider the question of where the pisions between folklore, folk literature, and high literature lie.Should I attend your school, I would like to resume my studies of Anglo-Saxon poetry, with special attention to its folk elements.Writing poetry also figures prominently in my academic and professional goals.I have just begun submitting to the smaller journals with some success and am gradually building a working manuscript for a collection.The dominant theme of this collection relies on poems that draw from classical, biblical, and folk traditions, as well as everyday experience, in order to celebrate the process of giving and taking life, whether literal or figurative.My poetry draws from and influences my academic studies.Much of what I read and study finds a place in my creative work as subject.At the same time, I study the art of literature by taking part in the creative process, experimenting with the tools used by other authors in the past.In terms of a career, I see myself teaching literature, writing criticism, and going into editing or publishing poetry.Doctoral studies would be valuable to me in several ways.First, your teaching assistant ship program would provide me with the practical teaching experience I am eager to acquire.Further, earning a Ph.D.in English and American literature would advance my other two career goals by adding to my skills, both critical and creative, in working with language.Ultimately, however, I see the Ph.D.as an end in itself, as well as a professional stepping stone;I enjoy studying literature for its own sake and would like to continue my studies on the level demanded by the Ph.D.program.Personal Statement（Engineering）

A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed.The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me.Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures.I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class.Knowing that the professor, Mr.John Doe, was a tough teacher, I asked him for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the summer.Just arrived from Belize, I was determined to succeed.In class we learned about forces on simple members and then we put the members together to form a simple truss.At this point I had almost decided that structural engineering was the career for me.From there the class just took off: We went on to frames, distributed loads, considered friction;basically we were incorporating real world considerations into structural members.I loved the practical, problem solving aspects of the field.At UC my classes were even more advanced.In my analysis and design classes, I especially enjoyed studying steel design because we not only learned the use of the load resistance factor design but also applied that knowledge — I designed a four-story building.The professor was a practicing engineer, and he always related the subject to real life steel structures he had engineered, for example, the SB Medical Center, an all steel building with a base isolated campus.This is the kind of project on which I would like to work, designing the structure and considering how the building will respond to ground motion.After two quarters of structural analysis, I had come as close as possible to analyzing real world structures.Looking back I realize, I had learned great tools for structural analysis, but my “tool box” was still inadequate.I lacked a very important tool: finite element analysis.According to my professor, finite element analysis has revolutionized structural analysis.Although I liked my classes, my internship experiences really confirmed my interest in structural engineering.While working at Caltrans as a student volunteer, I reviewed computer grading output for streets under construction.The computer suggested numbers for the road grading, and I had to plot the numbers and make sure there were no abrupt grade changes so the water can drain off easily to the sides of the road.It was exciting to know that I was the last checkpoint before the whole project went for approval.It was enjoyable working on something real — Main Street — but I was somewhat disappointed I did not have the chance to work on any structures.At UC I volunteered through the Student Research Program to work in the geotechnical library.I worked directly with a doctoral student and helped him to develop a geotechnical data base for the local area.I interpreted the data Caltrans had collected and recorded it in a form accessible to the computer and easy to read.It took hours to finish the job, but I enjoyed the precision involved so I did not mind putting in the time.My supervisor liked my work so much, he hired me to continue the project during the summer.Working on this project also showed me the importance of soils in determining buildings’ responses to earthquakes and awakened my interest in the response of skyscrapers to seismic stress and movement.At First Choice U, I plan to enroll in the structural engineering and geomechanics program.In this program I hope to draw on my structural analysis and geotechnical research background as a foundation for studying more advanced concepts.I am particularly interested in researching the ties between the structural engineering, geomechanics, and applied mechanics.I believe research is necessary to acquire data and formulate theories, but it is just as important to know how to apply those theories and use that data in the real world.I hope to be involved in some structurally related research at First Choice U.I am particularly interested in two research facilities: The Structures and Composites Laboratory and the Earthquake Engineering Center.After completing my degree in engineering and working on engineering projects, I know I want to design structures.That is what has fascinated me since I took Mr.Doe’s class.I also know, however, that designing structures of a complexity that appeals to me requires “more tools in my toolbox.” Those I can acquire only by continuing my education.To be competent and competitive I will need a masters degree.After completing my degree, I would like to work for an American engineering consulting firm and engineer complex structures and tall buildings, perhaps focusing on the problems surrounding designing for earthquakes.My long-term goals are to return to Belize and found my own engineering consulting firm there.Structural engineering will allow me to pursue a career where I can be creatively involved in problem-solving and design functional structures, like the simple truss bridge that initially captivated me in Mr.Doe’s class.My classes, work at Caltrans, and internship in geotechnical engineering have increased my knowledge of and interest in structural engineering since I first looked at the textbook shortly after my arrival in the U.S.A masters degree will give me the up-to-date tools and knowledge to be competitive and competent.

第五篇：出国留学申请之个人陈述写作技巧及

个人陈述(Personal Statement)写作技巧

自述，也即Personal Statement, 是所有出国文件中最重要的部分，它是申请者最主要的自我包装。申请被录取和经济资助就是要把自己推销给评审者。你的重任是让这一文件反映你的个性和才智。写自述即使对以英语为母语的北美学生也是颇费心力的事情，对中国申请者来说，用英语写作本来就是困难的事，更何况自述是为了表现和包装自己，有违我们的文化习俗，写起来往往备感吃力。中国申请者往往没有面谈的机会，这份文件因而愈发显得重要。

我们要忠告所有的申请者，你必须抓住机会，充分而且恰如其分地表现你的人格力量、智慧和已取得的成就。在此文件的创作中要花大量的精力，决不能知难而退，草率从事。你已经花费了多年的心血，完成了大学甚至是研究生的学习，你也可能又在随后的工作岗位上积累了宝贵的经验，现在又通过艰苦卓绝的努力，成功地考过了TOEFL和GRE。然而，你的任务并没有结束。你必须静下心来，有条不紊地处理多种文件，而其中自述是重中之重。

怎样真正地把此项工作当作重中之重呢？那并不是赶紧去习一本所谓范例然后照着抄，而是要借此机会严肃、认真和全面审视自己的才能、潜能、出国留学的目的。这种对自己的能力、向往和追求的透彻的了解是写好自述的基础。根据编者在国外求学、工作的经验，可以这么说，在写好自述这件事上，中国留学生可以说是遇上了一个深层次而且是重大的文化差异。所谓“深层次”就是说这个差异不是西方人喝咖啡中国人喝茶、西方人称“Darling”而中国人称“孩子他妈”那样简单。

北美的许许多多的“雇主”-----大学的录取评审者，确实是非常重视求职者、求学者对自身是否了解，对自己的前途和目标是否明确。在他们的文化中，这样的自我了解被视为是人的素质中很重要的一部分。他们的文化同时也十分重视对自身的了解和对目标的追求做出个性化的表达能力。本文并不是要讨论文化问题，而是力求以最短的篇幅给读者以最大的实用指导。本软件编者最大遗憾就是申请者把写作自述一事当作官样文章而草率应付。北美教育机构的官僚主义常常更甚于我国，但要求写自述，的确不是官样文章，而是给申请者一次表现自己的机会。读者切记，这样的表现一定要富有个性。

怎样判断自述是否反映了个性呢？最简单的就是看第二个人是否能写出一样的或是差不多的内容。真正的富有个性的自我介绍是不可能与其他的信雷同的。尽管有许多人有着看上去类似的求学、求职经历，但是每个人对学习、工作、事业和他人的感受应该是独有的而且也应该是独特的。即使两个人所有的学习和工作经历都相同，也都计划去同一个领域里深造，引发他们对该学科感兴趣的外部事物和内心感受也必定是有区别的。所以，在我们谈到写作自述其他注意事项之前，首先要求读者要独具创意。在写作自述的时候，认真而全面地审视自己的方法就是默默地自问如下问题：

1.对所要申请的学校和专业是否有了深入细致的了解，能做到在写自述时紧扣学校和专业的要求及特点，突出自己申请的优势？ 2.我的人生经历中有什么独特的、非同寻常的地方？在我的家庭生活和社会生活中有哪些人或事件影响了我的人生观和事业追求？这些影响有什么与众不同的地方？

3.我最初是如何对目前所选专业感兴趣的？我在其后的岁月中又是如何加深了对这一学科领域的认识？我在这一领域已经取得了什么样的成绩？是什么因素使我自信，能够在这一领域有所建树？

4.在上学期间我从事了那些助教、助研、社会实践、暑期工作？通过这些活动在什么方面得到了提高(比如科研能力、组织能力和领导能力等)？在步入社会后的工作中完成过什么项目，取得了哪些成就，表现出何等才干？ 5.我的最终的事业目标是什么？

6.在我多年来的考试成绩上有没有需要解释的地方？比方说我大学成绩一直很优异，但GRE成绩却不怎么理想；我高年级的成绩是否比低年级的成绩有显著的提高？

7.在自我奋斗的过程中是否需要克服超常的困难，如家庭生活贫困、身体残疾等等？

8.我是否具备杰出的品格，比如诚实，可靠、善良、刻苦等等，而我能否提供真凭实据来加以证明？我是否具备值得一提的很好的特别的工作习惯和态度，以及禀性上的优势。9.我具备什么样的特殊才能，如分析能力、领导才能和交流才能？我为什么比别的申请者更具有在事业上成功的把握？

要回答这些问题的确是不容易的，但你必须在正式写作自述之前全面准备，对这些问题加以认真思考，因为你的自述需要回答所有这些问题或其中的大部分。

对内容有了把握后，就是要注意写作技巧了。这里说的写作技巧不是英语水平的问题，而是写作的思路、取材和段落的安排。写自述的最大忌讳就是写得毫无特色、枯燥乏味。要知道每一个录取评审委员需要阅读成百上千份自述，其中大多数的自述的内容都是雷同的，他们不可能有时间、精力和气力在平淡中寻找不寻常，努力发掘你的优秀之处。要写得醒目，抓住读者的注意力，这个责任完全在于你自己。

所以，自述的第一段或者是前二段至为重要。这头一、二段必须能够引起读者对你的兴趣，并且能够得到关于你个人的最重要的信息。如果你的头一、二段的内容中有闪光之处，能够给人留下不可磨灭的印象，那就达到了最佳效果。绝大多数的申请者的的确确有着类似的学历和工作背景，而且现在又追求一个共同的目标：攻读研究生。在这样的情况下，读者应该不难想见，不论我们是汉语，还是用英语，描述自己的经历和追求的语汇和句式终究会趋向雷同。编者所强调的“独特性”，决不是仅指在语言上要独树一帜。获得独特性的更重要的有两个方法：一是寻找独特的思想方法或者说是审视自己的独特角度，二是在陈述过程中采用故事手法。

采取第一种方法时我们从多种角度着眼确定文章的基调，我们在此对三种较常见的类型写作时所应遵循的策略进行简要论述：

1.克服生活中的逆境型：Peterson's Guide中曾经登载的一封外国人申请时写的自述，作者的家庭背景是贫苦的、不识英文的第一代亚裔移民。作者没有回避自己多花了几年时间才完成大学的教育并且成绩较差这一惨痛的事实，而是就此问题展开对自己的介绍。他的家庭贫困，作为长子肩负帮助父母抚养年幼的妹妹的重任。这样，完成大学教育对他来说需要艰苦卓绝的努力。因此，通过他的叙述，一位奋斗不息、刻苦耐劳并具有高度责任感的年轻人的形象跃然纸上。

这位作者申请的学校是法学院，难度较大，但作者有力地陈述了他的理由：他的父母像许多亚裔移民一样，不通英文，更不懂在美国用法律的手段来保护自己的权益。他现在申请读法学院，目的就是为了将来能够运用法律的武器维护在美国少数族裔的权益。

这样的信读起来感人至深，作者当然也被录取了。成功之处就在于作者能用独特的角度来看待自己的经历和追求的目标。他所陈述的经历、思想和感受与其人生奋斗的目标达到了高度的统一。

在写这种在逆境中奋起的自述时，应通过用事实来描述过去的经历及其对自己的求学、事业和人生目标的正面影响，但切忌耽于自我怜悯，或因一种谴责评判的方式使文章显得充满怨气。

2.自我成长型：这种申请人在生活、学业和工作上虽不可避免地会遇到挫折，但相对来说，他们的生活进行得比较一帆风顺。写这种自述一定要用正面、肯定的语气，清楚、精炼，同时又要充分、多方面地展示自己独特的才智、事业和求学的追求方向。

3.家庭影响型：这种情况下可以是好的家庭背景对申请者产生了正面的影响，也可以是艰难或不好的家庭环境作用于申请者，使之反思而发奋图强。写正面的影响时注意不要过分渲染家庭的帮助，督促向导作用，因为这样的作者往往不知不觉中会给评审人留下一种自我缺乏主见和动力的印象。同样，写不好家庭的背景时，也不要太多着墨于那些问题，重要的是突出自己不随遇而安、屈从命运安排的精神和志向。

下面再谈谈“故事手法”。所谓“故事”并不是要为自己的经历编故事，而是要有一点(不要太多)生动的情节。除了思想角度外，生动的情节是表现个性和独特性的又一法宝。许许多多的人可以有类似的经历和背景，但他们生命中的具体经历一定具有独特的场景。恰当地描绘一下这样的场景，就会使全文散发出生动而新鲜的气息。比方说有人在谈到家庭的不幸时具体地讲述了因交不起房租被赶到街上过夜的惨痛经历。还有的文中虽然没有任何戏剧性的情节，但作者在好几处细节都突出了自己善于独立思考的个性。作者用朋友们的疑问来衬托出自己决定重返学校、出国深造所饮食的智慧和胆识。作者在谈到自己的业余爱好时，也没有像大多数申请者那样列举出一长串清单，以表现自己多才多艺、面面俱到，而是诚实地说自己没有什么爱好，只是喜欢独自旅行，在大自然中汲取营养和力量，但这爱好却与全文塑造出的深沉和独立思考的性格十分吻合。

至此我们谈到了全面和深刻地审视自己、寻找独特的角度以及注重运用细节等问题。下面还有一些材料的取舍问题提出来供读者参考。

首先，千万不要遗漏掉那些有用的和中肯的成就、经验等等事实。

申请研读的学位越高，那么以往科研、学术成果和工作经验等等就越是重要。许多申请者错误地认为自己发表的文章已经列在履历里面了，在自述中就不应该再提。其实，个个履历是一份完全不同的文件。它是对个人经历的一种简洁而全面的介绍，使读者对申请者能够很快有一个大致的了解。自述则是需要(或是希望)读者仔细阅读的，它要介绍申请者的成就、抱负和个人品德。所以申请者不用担心内容上的重复。还有许多申请者硬是要把自述的篇幅压缩在一页纸内因而只能很简要地提到自己的成就。其实，如果内容充实，为什么不能写到二至三页呢？比如说到发表的论文，往往只提到一个题目。其实，写一篇科研论文往往是要付出巨大心血的。这不光是写篇文章，而是反复的科学论证和无数次实验的结晶。申请者起码应该用二至三个句子，说明这篇论文所代表的实验、实验用的方法、目的和获得的成绩。还应该说明通过发表这篇(或几篇)论文，申请者在这一领域做出了什么贡献，获得了哪些思想方法、认识和科研手段上的提高。

还有的申请者犯的是一个相反的错误，他们把高中甚至更早的成就也不厌其烦地列在自述上。比如当上了三好学生、少先队长之类的。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，也应该足以用作素材了。当然，少儿时期的成就，若是对随后的学术道路产生了重大的影响，也可以提。有的申请者对某一学科，比如说数学，情有独钟，很早就显露出天才，在中学时期在数学竞赛中获奖，由此激发了对此学科的强烈兴趣，从此矢志不渝，这样提就非常妥当。

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。有个别申请者在文件中提到了“上帝”这样的字眼，犯了西方社会宗教和学术分离的大忌。

我们建议你撰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。许多杰出的人物都曾经历过困屯。人们一般会欣赏那些不被困难压倒，不因失败沮丧，在逆境中寻找光明的人，关键在于你是否用积极正面的态度对待挫折并表现出这种积极的态度。

最后需要提醒读者注意的是，写自述绝对不能一蹴而就，写好后需反复修改，清除多余的部分，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。可多方听听他人的意见。务必做到文章中不存在任何文法，语法或拼写上的错误。这种疏忽看似无关紧要，实际上它们有时恰恰能出乎意料地破坏你力图在评审人心目中树立的形象。很难想象，繁忙的教授在连着数次看到简单的语法或拼写错误后，还会相信你是文中所说的一个认真的精益求精的人。

避免错误开头方式（工程类）

PERSONAL STATEMENT previous Education: When in the high school I first used the computer, I was attracted by it.From then on, to become an expert in the field of electrical and computer technology has been my favorite dream.In 2098, successfully passed the most competitive examinations, especially in the mathematics I got the full score(120 out of 120), I was admitted by the Electronic Engineering Department of Tsinghua University which is the most distinguished university in China.（这是中国学生最喜欢的一中开头方式，可是并不符合statement的一般习惯，请学习修改稿的开头方法。）

During my academic years, I worked hardly（work hardly 与 work hard 的区别相信大家都知道，这样的错误是不可原谅的。）and obtained good scores in most courses, especially in the basic courses and major courses.When graduation, my overall GPA ranked the upper 10% among about 200 students.Education at Tsinghua University emphasizes practice.In the third year of study, I applied to join the Lab.of Information Systems.In the lab I successfully designed “2Mb/s PCM Digital Interface(32 frames)” which was used in the analogue PBX(Private Branch Exchange).In 1993, I independently designed “Speech Signal Processing Card” which was used in the SUN SPARC station.This card's successful design solved the problem that the SUN SPARC station could not be used to the speech processing and the multimedia application.From these designs I accumulated the experience of hardware development and mastered the knowledge of communications theory and computer technology such as the hardware structure of the RISC computer, UNIX operating system and programming.Through the five years of study in Tsinghua University I have not only mastered rich professional theory but also accumulated strong experience on hardware design and software program.All of these laid a solid foundation for my further work and study.Because of my hard study, as reward, I was recommended to enter the graduate program at Tsinghua directly, waived of the admission test.It is Tsinghua's policy to endow the most distinguished students such preference.However, anxiously wanting to practice my knowledge in the real work and because of some other reason, I resigned the esteemed privilege.Work Experience

After graduation, I have been working as an electronic engineer in North China Institute of Computing Technology(NCI).She, awarded as “Chinese royal computing institute”, is the earliest and most famous computer institute in China.In the institute I entered a new field---automation and got the chance to practice my knowledge learned from the university.In order to work better, in these years I have learned some textbooks by myself, such as: Computer Control Technology, Contemporary Control Theory, Electrical Control Technology, Process Control & Automation Device.In more than three years I worked very hard and completed some projects perfectly.Because of my firm skills in hardware and software and strong background of theory, in 1995 I was appointed as the leader to manage and design the computer control system---“Distributed Control System(DCS)”.In the period less than a year, under the cooperation and support of others, my colleagues and I completed the design of system structure, modules' development, software system programming and the debugging of the whole system.This system is the Real-time computer control system and can be combined up to the 2048 channels.In the project I independently designed the kernels---CPU module, two other modules and the I/O interface software.This system is at the leading position in the automation field of China.Electrical and computer engineering is developing fast, in order to keep up with the advanced technology, I left North China Institute of Computing Technology(NCI)in Aug.1997 and joined my now working companythe ability to excel in the face of challenges.In fact, the outcome of my efforts in undergraduate studies did prove that the determination that I conceived at the beginning of college years to excel my classmate was not a breed of vanity.By the time I completed my four years of undergraduate studies, I had outperformed most of my classmates.On the strength of my outstanding academic record, I was chosen by my professors to enter into the graduate program of my university without having to pass the normally mandatory admission test, a privilege that is only reserved for the very best students each graduation year.Four years of undergraduate studies equipped me with basic research skills in international politics, and my outstanding performance naturally placed me on the path to higher academic pursuits.As a highly motivated undergraduate, I took many politics and economics courses, such as Political Science, International Relations, International Organization, International Finance and International Trade, as you can see from my transcripts.My overall GPA ranked me first among the 40 students of my academic year, wining me top honors.I was one of the 80, selected from the university's 8,000 students, to receive the Excellent Academic Achievement Scholarship(First Class)in the 1994-95 school year.In the 1995-1996 school year, I was one of university's 15 students awarded the BaoGang Scholarship(First Prize).In the 1996-1997 school year, I received the Outstanding Academic Performance Scholarship, one of the only five students at the university who earned this honor.In my junior and senior years, having grasped a basic understanding of the discipline, I started to read many classic works on international relations, including Politics among Nations, Theory of International Politics, War and Change in World Politics, and Power and Interdependence: World Politics in Transition.I also frequented the library to read a host of journals on a regular basis.By reading critically such authoritative publications as American Political Science Review, International Organization, World Politics, and Foreign Affairs, I kept myself well informed of the latest academic research findings and also improved my English language skills.To cultivate other capabilities, I also engaged myself in extracurricular activities.From 1995 to 1998, I was elected president of the International Politics Class, a departmental student association responsible for the management of academic studies, extracurricular activities, student orientation programs and other student affairs.Serving as president of the association, I was closely involved in the communication and collaboration with other student organizations and sometimes took part in the activities organized by them.By organizing those extracurricular activities, I trained myself in leadership and organization skills.The Class performed exceptionally well, winning “Excellent Class of Beijing” for several years in a row, an award given by Beijing Education Bureau to the best student associations of the capital.As a graduate student, I was designated an Excellent University Graduate of Beijing(1997-1998)for my outstanding academic and extracurricular performance, an award given to only 200 students in Beijing a year.I began my graduate research with the aim of acquiring abilities in doing independent research because I believe that advanced education is more than a continuation of undergraduate studies.The graduate work should not only lead a student deeper into the ocean of research but also train him to enter a profession in which his acquired knowledge is constantly required in his daily work.A desirable graduate education should involve a student to consciously build up his independent research abilities by working closely with a distinguished scholar whose research work can be modeled after.It is with this understanding that I began my research career at the Center for European Studies of People's University in early 1998.The center, directed by distinguished Professor Song Xinning, Deputy Head of the Department of International Politics, is manned by several professors with European research background from social sciences pisions of the People's University.Immersed in this stimulating environment, I have been well trained in advanced research methodologies.By attending workshops and seminars presented by visiting professors from overseas, I acquainted myself with new concepts and theories in political science, broadening my disciplinary perspective and gaining insights into the field.Satisfied with my performance, Professor Song hired me as his research assistant to work on a project headed by himself, China Policy of the Clinton Administration in its Second Term.I believe I have acquired the necessary theoretical framework and practical experience for advanced studies.If I am accepted, I will pursue graduate studies on international relations as my major and comparative policy analysis as my minor field of study.Equipped with the ability to teach myself and conduct independent research, I will be able to attain competence quickly in areas that I may at first know very little about.I am confident that I can make quick progress in my fields, especially in international relations theory, international political economy, foreign policy and international security.To me, graduate studies are as intellectually exhilarating as they are challenging.Choosing which school to attend and what degree to pursue is not an easy decision.After careful evaluation and comparison, I have now settled on applying to your distinguished graduate school as my first choice, because I believe that the courses I can select from your curriculum can best train me for the realization of my goals.The graduate program of xxxxx, ranking among the best in the United States, is playing a pioneering role in international studies.I believe your school sets an ideal stage for me to exercise my mental power and diligence, and that my intended disciplinary training can be best pursued with the aid of your distinguished faculty and remarkable research facilities.After I complete the program, I plan to devote myself to a teaching career in China.With the friendship I can strike in your program with both students and faculty, I should be able to arrange academic exchanges by inviting leading scholars to visit China.Such exchanges will be conducive to building up shared understanding between China and the US about the world and the relationships our respective countries enjoy with each other.China undoubtedly takes its relationship with the US as its most important relationship with any foreign country, and, correspondingly, the US is attaching increasing importance to its relationship with China.As American politicians have realized, the nature of Sino-US relationship will determine, to a large extent, whether the 21st century is one of peace or conflict.As China strives to feed its exploding population, it cannot do without a peaceful international environment.I would like to attain the necessary knowledge and forge the necessary understanding so that I can help your country and mine coexist in peace in the coming century.化学类

With the approach of new century, the developing China is requiring better trained and more highly educated men and women than ever before in history.In order to make more contributions to the society and, at the same time, satisfy my keen interest in science, I am looking forward to beginning my graduate study.I heard of Case Western Reserve University as early as when I was an undergraduate student.She is one of the most highly regarded universities in the world and is an ideal place for ambitious youth.I plan to study for Ph.D.in Biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University with special interests in metabolism, macromolecular synthesis, and protein crystal growth.I have had plentiful preparations.First, when being an undergraduate in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tsinghua University, I got very extensive and intensive education.I took many courses on chemistry and the related subjects, and earned high scores for most of them.Second, my major, Polymer, can be put into good use in Biochemistry programs because Polymer is closely related with biological Macromolecule.Third, I have working experience that enriches my theory and laboratory skills.From 1990 to now, I have been engaged as an Assistant Engineer by the Research institute, Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Corporation(RIBYPC).In the first year, I was in charge of a 5-litre reactor for polymerization of Carboxylated Butadiene-Styene Latex.Then I was transferred to another research group to synthesize PET/PHB copolymer, a kind of polyester, which has the property of Liquid Crystal.I am the assistant head of the group.We can prepare the novel polymer with high molecule weight and excellent
