进行出国留学的文书写作,需要大家保证是符合要求的,而且需要对自己的能力和优势进行展示。跟着留学群的小编来看看新加坡留学个人陈述写作内容求及基本要求。
保证个人信息完整
你需要完成国外大学要求的所有个人信息,这是写个人陈述最基本的步骤。如果你没填完,会给人一种粗心大意,怠慢的感觉。从大学招生官的角度来看,不完整的个人信息会给工作人员带来麻烦,而这些人正是决定你能否录取的人,你的命运掌握在他们手上。如果他们在找必须的个人信息而遗漏了你的话,他们会直接跳过你的简历查看下一个申请人的个人陈述。
有些大学会在你的个人陈述中给你一些特定的问题。请把这些问题一一记下来,千万不要忽略任何一个,并请如实回答所有提问。如果发现所答非所问,一定要重新用第一印象回答一遍,不要想太多与问题无关的东西。
如果你申请的学校要求提供手写的个人陈述的话,请按要求附上手写版。虽然现在大部分申请资料都要通过电子版提交,但也有些国外大学要求手写稿是想看看你是否具备离开电脑也能书写的能力(特别是英语课)。文字颜色一定要是看起来很专业的黑色或者蓝色,因为扫描仪只能很好地识别这两种颜色。
为什么申请这个国外大学和留学专业
为什么你要学这个专业?这是个人陈述中最重要的部分。你需要证明为什么学校要给你机会学习这个专业。你为学习这个专业做了些什么准备?这些准备可以是工作经验,之前的作品或者一些课外活动。一些专业会分得很细,所以请专注于细分的专业来准备。教授把这一点看得很重,你可以在专业之外提一下你对教授的尊敬。
其次,为什么你要读这所大学?请熟读你要申请的国外大学的简介,你可以用你对这所学校的研究打动他们。这是个很重要的申请技巧(例如艺术学院),这显示出你的主动性,也是学校所欣赏的。但是在找资料的时候最好不要只停留在官方网站的介绍页面上,因为很多人都会从上面找信息,招生官看这些已经看腻了。
你可以注册查看一下该学校的即时通讯,追踪一下该校的社交媒体,看看这所学校看重的是什么。你也可以研究一下这所学校的历史,这所学校是什么时候建立的,因为什么而建立的,专注于什么领域,毕业生都在什么地方工作,有能给你正能量的校友吗,这些会让招生官认为他们的学校是你的首选。
再次,为什么你要在这个地方读书?你所申请的学校所在的位置与你的专业相关吗?你可以阐述当地的历史文化跟你所学的专业是多么相关,这证明了你研究了学校以外的当地环境,也进一步确定了这是你唯一的选择。没有招生官想要设法确认学生是否想在他们学校学习。做为一个国际学生,更重要的是你需要说明为什么你想跑那么远去读书。毕竟留学不是度假,你要证明除了听讲座和研讨课之外,你是否会充分利用当地的其他资源来学习。
范文
My interest in Mathematics initially developed when I began to consider how a set of well-defined points on a plane could be described by a single equation. It was clear that a curve could be drawn through the set of points but, as my knowledge was limited in Year 10, I had to pursue my own research to learn how to deduce the equation of such a curve. Since then, I have come to appreciate how the many diverse topics in Maths are connected, such as the relationship between number theory and cryptography, as explained in Marcus du Sautoy’s ‘Music of the Primes’. I find the prospect of understanding such succinct theories, which can be applied in many industries, as well as forming new ones through extensive research, very exciting in today’s ever advancing society.
The topic to have engaged me the most at A-level has been differentiation. It is centred on the idea of limits, which relates directly to infinity and infinitesimals. I first read about Cantor’s continuum hypothesis in Clegg’s ‘A Brief History of Infinity’, and my understanding of infinity has evolved since then. The paradoxes associated with infinity and all the counter-intuitive arguments put forward about infinity motivate me to study infinity in detail, and I therefore look forward to the intriguing courses on analysis.
‘It may be very hard to define mathematical beauty, but that is just as true of beauty of any kind’ – Hardy in ‘A Mathematician’s Apology’. I agree with Hardy, for I feel that mathematical beauty is inexpressible and yet so common. However, I believe that Maths at school level has lost its beauty, as there is not enough emphasis on the proofs of theorems and the focus lies in the end result of a theorem instead. My opinion is that they are equally important, as one cannot exist without the other: you cannot classify something as a theorem unless it has a proof and you cannot have a proof unless it leads to a theorem. However, I have only come across beautiful Maths in proofs and I therefore look forward to the rigorous approach of being taught Maths at university level, which gives more importance to understanding. Currently, I find some stimulation in attending weekly extension Maths lessons, covering topics that go beyond the regular A-Level syllabus, such as Euclid’s algorithm, the Fibonacci sequence, the continuum hypothesis and proof by induction.
Maths has been a vital tool in innumerable disciplines, such as programming, medical imaging and code breaking, for thousands of years. I attended a lecture on ‘How Mathematics Drives Computing’ at Imperial College, where a lecturer explained how he was able to contribute significantly to airline scheduling via his PhD research work. Such constant evolution and innovation in Maths, with its potential as an instrument of solving problems and progressing society, attracts me greatly. In my spare time, I write Internet articles frequently on programming techniques, such as image scaling and collision detection, to which over 50 people are subscribed. Moreover, I have received a prize for a project I developed myself.
I am a School Prefect, which has enhanced my leadership skills. I participate in inter-school hockey matches as part of our School’s team, and I have practised the art of Taekwondo since I was ten years old. I find Bridge interesting and have represented my School in various competitions. I have also been playing the drums for four years. Furthermore, I attend the J S Mill Society, where issues of politics and economics are discussed.
Sophistication, precision and the axiomatic approach of mathematics have always appealed to me and I hope to appreciate their efficacy to an even greater extent at university.
