ONAL STATEMENT,以下簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)PS)是申請(qǐng)美國(guó),加拿大,英國(guó)等西方國(guó)家的大學(xué)/研究生錄取時(shí)由申請(qǐng)人寫(xiě)的關(guān)于自我的一篇漫談體文章。 。 。 ??;當(dāng)然若有憾人故事則不同。 ,表達(dá)觀點(diǎn)無(wú)可非議,但不宜狂熱或極端?! ∈灰 ?;不簡(jiǎn)單重復(fù)他處已有的信息?! ?、標(biāo)點(diǎn)、用詞和風(fēng)格。)在附錄中解釋?! ! 。灰詾椤袄硐氲哪恪本褪乾F(xiàn)在的你,不能讓人有虛假之感?! ?,即你自己所有,而別人沒(méi)有的?,F(xiàn)向大家介紹書(shū)寫(xiě)個(gè)人陳述過(guò)程中的十要十不要,請(qǐng)記住這二十條,申請(qǐng)人寫(xiě)的個(gè)人陳述自會(huì)給校方留下深刻的印象。 入學(xué)申請(qǐng)材料中的個(gè)人陳述(PERSONAL STATEMENTS)無(wú)疑是申請(qǐng)人向?qū)W校推薦自己的最好機(jī)會(huì)。然而這關(guān)鍵的一步卻令許多申請(qǐng)人不知從何落筆?! ∈ 。阎饕ν度朐谝粌蓚€(gè)主題或經(jīng)歷上?! ?,尤其是你的特長(zhǎng)、特殊的經(jīng)歷、經(jīng)驗(yàn)等。 ,特別是開(kāi)頭幾句。 ?。贿^(guò)失和錯(cuò)誤(轉(zhuǎn)載自出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng),請(qǐng)保留此信息?! 。€要講清楚自己在全班、全系……排第幾位?! ?,采用通用的行距和白邊?! ! ! ?。 。、系名、專(zhuān)業(yè)名甚或自己的名字。當(dāng)然有的學(xué)校要求的文章題目不一定叫PERSONAL STATEMENT,如有的學(xué)校讓你寫(xiě)出動(dòng)機(jī)(Motivation)興趣,經(jīng)歷等。而歐美大學(xué)錄取學(xué)生,發(fā)放獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,是通過(guò)全面綜合考察申請(qǐng)者的條件來(lái)決定的。留學(xué)文書(shū)在西方的文化背景下是申請(qǐng)入學(xué)(獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金)的極為重要的組成部分。筆者在為數(shù)百計(jì)的申請(qǐng)人進(jìn)行留學(xué)文書(shū)的咨詢(xún)和寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中發(fā)現(xiàn),由于中西方教育體制的差異和網(wǎng)上各種良莠不齊的“范文“的誤導(dǎo),許多申請(qǐng)人的PS寫(xiě)作理念非?;靵y,本文結(jié)合中國(guó)申請(qǐng)人文書(shū)寫(xiě)作的常見(jiàn)弊端,簡(jiǎn)述PS的寫(xiě)作要領(lǐng)。筆者曾深入研究過(guò)歐美出版的優(yōu)秀PS文選,無(wú)不短小精悍,內(nèi)容卻非常豐滿(mǎn),文筆優(yōu)美。筆者甚至見(jiàn)到某些人的PS寫(xiě)到3千多字。美國(guó)大學(xué)的招生人員曾談到:在留學(xué)申請(qǐng)旺季時(shí),面對(duì)堆積如山的文件,一般他們審查一個(gè)PS的時(shí)間只有3分鐘,那種長(zhǎng)篇大論類(lèi)的PS只能讓人心生厭煩。必須明確,PS這樣一篇短短數(shù)百字的文章是沒(méi)有地方去說(shuō)不相干的廢話的。當(dāng)然在這個(gè)基礎(chǔ)上每個(gè)人都可以通過(guò)很獨(dú)特而有個(gè)性的文字來(lái)表達(dá)自己。筆者將其改為:我喜歡思考,如何讓事物運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)得更有效率。在工作初期,成員經(jīng)常因?yàn)樾愿?、工作方式各異產(chǎn)生矛盾。這樣安排的結(jié)果是系統(tǒng)發(fā)揮了最佳效率?! 〗Y(jié)構(gòu)簡(jiǎn)單,銜接緊密, 主線明確,便于理解 “Simple is the best”請(qǐng)記住,招生人員每天要讀大量的申請(qǐng)資料,只有那種簡(jiǎn)單有力重點(diǎn)突出的的文章才能打動(dòng)招生人員。筆者認(rèn)為,PS中什么都是重點(diǎn),就等于沒(méi)有重點(diǎn)。因此在寫(xiě)作這些文件之前必須總體構(gòu)思安排文章的布局和每個(gè)文件突出的重點(diǎn)?! ≌Z(yǔ)言表達(dá)層面上一定要用 地道的英語(yǔ)中國(guó)人自己讀得很順的英語(yǔ)往往是按中文的語(yǔ)言邏輯寫(xiě)成的“中式英語(yǔ)”,不但會(huì)大大削弱您想表達(dá)的意思,產(chǎn)生誤解,而且會(huì)讓招生人員看起來(lái)很枯燥無(wú)味(DULL).有些申請(qǐng)人,特別是考過(guò)GRE的申請(qǐng)人,用詞句式過(guò)于夸張,古怪,不符合英語(yǔ)的思維習(xí)慣和文風(fēng)。完成的文件最好由母語(yǔ)人士進(jìn)行修改?! n my opinion, the Financial Engineering is a kind of creative technology to the Financial Instruments, Financial Means and system. It used to balance the benefits and venture as an interesting interdisciplinary subject. It covers many fields such as mathematics, puter science and finance, in which the mathematics and mathematical modeling are the two main aspects of the Financial Engineering. The Investment Portfolio Theory of Markowitz, the capital asset pricing model of the Sharp, Option Pricing Model of BlackScholes and “Binomial” model of Cox can best reflect the critical position of the two subjects. 我有幸選擇了數(shù)學(xué)與應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)這個(gè)專(zhuān)業(yè),在三年和它的接觸了解中,使我對(duì)數(shù)學(xué),尤其對(duì)數(shù)學(xué)建模有了較深的理解和體會(huì)。若餡比 1公斤多, 應(yīng)多包幾個(gè), 還是少包幾個(gè)呢? ” 是這個(gè)生動(dòng)、形象、富于生活氣息的包餃子問(wèn)題把我領(lǐng)進(jìn)了數(shù)學(xué)建模的世界。經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的數(shù)學(xué)老師們通過(guò)實(shí)實(shí)在在的例子告訴我們什么是數(shù)學(xué)建模。為期2周的數(shù)學(xué)建模培訓(xùn),給我留下的不僅是一個(gè)個(gè)經(jīng)典的數(shù)學(xué)模型,更重要的是一份澎湃的激情和一份冷靜的思考:數(shù)學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)建模是人類(lèi)的守護(hù)神,因?yàn)橛辛怂拇嬖?,人?lèi)的生存和發(fā)展才有條不紊的繼續(xù)著。比賽要求結(jié)合數(shù)據(jù)對(duì)長(zhǎng)江水質(zhì)做出定量評(píng)價(jià),分析各地區(qū)的水質(zhì)污染。長(zhǎng)達(dá)17頁(yè)的數(shù)據(jù)和多個(gè)評(píng)價(jià)指標(biāo)對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)著實(shí)是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)!究竟應(yīng)該選擇哪些數(shù)據(jù)?怎樣綜合考慮多個(gè)指標(biāo)?我們嘗試了近一天,推翻了以前建立的種種模型,有好幾次都被弄得想要放棄,是隊(duì)友間的相互鼓勵(lì)的力量和鍥而不舍的精神讓我們最終找到了自己滿(mǎn)意的模型:綜合指數(shù)法模型評(píng)價(jià)長(zhǎng)江水質(zhì),既體現(xiàn)水質(zhì)的各種評(píng)價(jià)因子,又能反映主要污染物對(duì)水質(zhì)的突出作用。我們小組的參賽論文獲北京市二等獎(jiǎng)。依賴(lài)于不拘一格的創(chuàng)新思維和創(chuàng)造能力?! ocketed with this passion and thinking, I tasted to use mathematical modeling into practice and solve the practical problems by attending the National College Mathematical Modeling Contest with the other two schoolmates on behalf of our college. It required us to evaluate the water quality of Changjiang River according to the data, through which we had to analyze the water pollution in every region and predict the trend of it in the future. Finally we had to bring out the plan against it. It was really a challenge for us towards flood of data and estimations as long as 17 pages. We tried almost a whole day only to filter those data and take the evaluations into prehensive account. Pulling down various models we had built before, we were so defeated that we wanted to give up many times. However, we finally found the satisfactory model thanks to our encouragement to each other which armed us with full strength to go managed to evaluate the water quality by Composite index model, which could not only represent the evaluation factors, but also reflect the main impacts of the contaminations to the water pollution. We predicted the future water pollution through multiple linear regressions fitting and brought out the plan against it by building linear optimization model. Finally, we got the second prize in Beijing for our thesis. Three days’ and nights’ modeling experience had cooled our passion and gave us even more calm thinking instead. The creation of the mathematical modeling, along with the successful solution to the problems through it lied on the solid mathematics foundation, strong modeling ability, accumulation of the knowledge on different fields, unique creative ideas and creativity. 參加數(shù)學(xué)建模比賽的經(jīng)歷更加激發(fā)起我的學(xué)習(xí)興趣,使我在學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)理論的同時(shí)更加注重它們的應(yīng)用性。大三的上學(xué)期,我有幸參加了為期3天的電工數(shù)學(xué)建模實(shí)習(xí):給某大型運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)比賽項(xiàng)目排序。接近87億種不同的排序的數(shù)據(jù)量,比上次的全國(guó)數(shù)模競(jìng)賽更
