想要申請去美國留學,無論高中、本科還是研究生,都需要寫PS。這是留學文書中最重要的內容之一,在很大程度對申請結果有直接影響。一般情況下,PS 的字符數不多,寫作要求也不算高,只要能把自己想要說的表達出來即可。但如果申請的是研究生,就需要對專業或者其他領域有更深入的理解。因為即使在發達國家,研究生也是高端人才,招生官看重的不僅是你有沒有潛質,能重要的是已經取得的成績。那么美國研究生申請PS該如何寫呢?小編總結了PS的寫作流程,希望對大家有所幫助。此外,文章最后還精選了一篇PS范文供同學們參考學習。
一、要先選擇你想放進PS的內容
第一步最好是先將個人簡歷制作出來,制作簡歷能讓你對之前的學習工作有一個匯總,大小經歷有一個初步分類,比如校內,校外,項目活動,還是志愿者活動。在制作簡歷是就要邊做邊想,哪些活動突出你哪方面的經歷,比如一個項目活動,突出你的研究能力、溝通能力,領導力等等。在制作簡歷時想到這些,是為后面制作PS做好鋪墊。

著手制作PS前,要再研究一下簡歷,挑出大概三到四個經歷比較合適。在這些經歷的描述中,著重描寫你做了什么事情,突出細節。或者中間遇到了什么困難,如何解決。而不是一份更長更啰嗦的簡歷。細節的描寫會讓你顯得更生動,也會讓閱讀你PS的人印象更深刻,通過你的描述,對你產生一個初步了解。
前面提到你要挑選三到四個經歷,那哪些經歷應該入選呢?挑選出一些獨特的,能突出表現你能力的經歷,而這也是最能契合你所申專業的經歷。比如所申專業十分注重申請者的組織領導力,那么就著重描寫能突出你組織領導力的活動,或者這個活動展現了你很多能力,著重描述組織領導能力。需要提到的是,有些學校會讓你提供一篇PS,而有一些會讓你提交兩道三份essay(以商科為主),每篇essay又各有側重點,那么也一樣需要針對側重點來進行上述寫作的過程。比如說有的Essay是要你描述你的Long Term Goal和 Short Term Goal,有的可能讓你描述最大的成就,有的還可能是道德困境等等。
二、挑選出最契合專業的經歷之后,該如何組織這些內容呢?
這就是你整篇PS的思路。以什么樣的思路來展開這篇PS非常重要,不僅僅是全文整體上的思路,就連句與句之間,段與段之間也一樣重要。當然最終的完美之作肯定不是一蹴而就的,需要進行很多次的修改。
通篇思路可以按照時間順序來寫,這樣的思路清晰明了,也容易讓人理解。除了時間順序外,也可以根據自己的心路歷程安排,例如讓你對所申專業產生重大興趣的一件事也可以放在開篇,先聲奪人,但是這就要求有一定的寫作技巧,后面的思路要把握好,也不要給人一種虎頭蛇尾的感覺。#p#分頁標題#e#
句與句之間的前后邏輯就是要看前后是否連貫,意思是否沖突,不要給人感覺思維跳躍很大。而段落之間的銜接也是一樣,幾個經歷如何有機聯系在一起,給人感覺是一個人的經歷,而不是幾件事情堆砌在一起。這對于整篇PS的連貫性至關重要。所以PS從初稿到最終定稿一定是經歷無數次修改,不僅僅是對文中用詞、語法、句式的修改,更是對邏輯的修改。
三、除了能突顯自己的傲人經歷,PS里還需要哪些內容呢?
PS不僅僅是讓你凸顯自己的能力,還有更重要的一點是你選擇這個專業這個學校的原因,(有一些學校專門叫做State of Purpose (SP)),以及你未來的學習和職業規劃,這些也非常重要,也是學校要求一定要表明的。這部分可以在中間部分有所表露,做好放在最后進行集中說明。
論述選擇某個專業的原因,比較普遍的說法就是這所學校這個專業很優秀,教授很厲害,硬件軟件名譽都很好。此外,提到教授的時候可以結合自己想研究的方向,對該方向的教授包括他的研究課題多做了解,在PS中展露一點對他研究的興趣,也可以將自己對這個方向的見解和熱忱描述進去。教授看到你對他有興趣,自然對你也會更有興趣。未來的學習和職業規劃就是描述你今后如何在該校學習,以及畢業后會進行怎樣的工作,讓人知道你是有自己的規劃和目標,有獨立想法的。
完成PS初稿后,接下來的工作就是翻來覆去地修改。要想一次成稿,甚至幾次就改好基本上是妄想。需要先從文章整體來把握進行修改,行文流暢度,前后邏輯以及各部分比重。整體之后,就是對文章細節的修改了,用詞、語法、句式、銜接。總之,最后的版本基本上是你已經看不出什么問題,給別人也看不出太大問題的版本。
四、精選PS范文(計算機專業)
出國留學的想法并不是源于我對國外生活的向往,而是源于我對專業的追求,因為我對我所學習的專業具有的與眾不同的興趣.我向往著再能夠更加深入的學習和掌握信息科學的內涵,體會她的魅力!
I thought much before I began to write the PS. However, holding the pen, I suddenly felt wordless because I have too much to say, too much to write. Standing on the crossroad of life, I determined to study abroad without any hesitations.
憑借著一種懵懂的感性指引將我帶進了信息科學的殿堂,在大學幾年的學習過程中,逐漸認識到了當前的信息社會,不僅需要一系列方方面面懂得信息技術的人才,更需要我們對信息科學和技術做更深入的研究,將這個學科的技術應用到各個行業。而且,信息科學很明顯是未來的 趨勢,它將顛覆性地改變人們過去曾經熟悉的生活方式。在對這個專業的學習過程中,我感到了它的有趣、挑戰、永遠與最新技術保持同步,最重要的是讓我覺得它非常有前景,為了她揮灑自己的青春是值得的。 #p#分頁標題#e#
It was not the desire for the life overseas, but the pursuit of my professional study that aroused my idea to study abroad. I was longing for the further study and embedded understanding of the essence of Information Science, tasting its charm. Pocketing this interest, I came into the department of Beijing Forestry University. Through several years’ study there, I gradually realized that the modern information society needed not only the professional talents in information science, but also the embedded researches in this field in order to use it into every enterprise. Meanwhile, it is certain that the information science is just the developing trend in the future, which could historically change the ever familiar life style. Therefore, in the process of learning, I can taste its interest and challenge, with which I can keep abreast with the latest technology. Furthermore, I think it was valuable for me to contribute my youth into the Information Science, the most prospective enterprise in the future.
從我的成績單上不難看出,在大學階段,我專業課程的成績屬于一般。我并不擅長考試,更不懂得考試中所謂的技巧,我更看重實踐操作和社會的真實需求。我期望學到了解到的是能夠代表這個時代的知識和技術。當時我主要通過閱讀和自學一些原版的專業書籍教程來獲取最前沿的知識,通過瀏覽網上的科技動態和 專業論壇來獲得第一手信息,以及拓寬自己的視野。再就是積極參與知識的實際利用和驗證。
My ordinary score on my school report will tell you that I am not good at examinations. Those so-called “examination skills” are also strange to me. Instead, I emphasizepractical operations and the real needs of the society, expecting to learn the knowledge and technology that stands at the top of the period. Therefore, I got the latest knowledge mainly by reading large amount of English books and browsing the websites. Besides, I participated in many practical activities, in which I could use what I have learnt into practice. #p#分頁標題#e#
大二的時候當我的同學還沉浸在網絡游戲的迷幻世界里的時候,我利用業余時間給一家小公司的網站做兼職的技術員。可當時從學校學到掌握的知識很 難用于實際工作,于是我搜集整理了一系列網站維護方面的專業資料。后來通過自學我掌握了HTML語言和CSS設計。從這第一次嘗試的經歷我獲得了很多的收獲,但我認為最大的收獲就是這個過程中我遇到的難題。在制作網站信息板塊的過程中資料的吻合程度一直無法解決,我的倔強的性格讓我在困難面前越來越興奮。我利用所有可以利用的時間上網查資料,最終通過細致的分類和鑒別,將它們有效的整理了出來。
In my sophomore year, just as other schoolmates were submerging themselves into the fairy world of PC games, I began my part time working experience by working as a technician on the website of a small company. Just at that exciting time, I found that it was very difficult to use the theories I learnt on class into the practical work. Trapped in the gap between the school and society, I collected and summarized much practical professional files from a series of websites and learnt the HTML language and the CSS design by myself. From the first attempt in the society, I realized that I got much from difficulties rather than smooth work. On designing the information part of the website, I could not find the perfect combination between the files. However, as a hardnosed boy, I was not defeated by the difficulties, but very excited towards them. By classifying and summarizing the files I found on the websites, I finally solved the problem.
通過我不懈的努力我在專業技術水平得到了老師的認可,終于通過一次偶然的機會我得到了一個參與開發項目的機會,并作為技術骨干協助老師進行linux下iptables的模塊開發。從理論的角度來看這個模塊開發可以算做操作系統理論,而我對編寫系統模塊并不是很熟悉,這又是一次挑戰。我在一 本介紹module programming的書里找到了關于編寫系統模塊的信息, 憑借我大膽的嘗試,雖然失敗了幾次,但最終成功的實現了項目的最終目標,順利的完成了!失敗是成功之母,我一直堅信這一點! #p#分頁標題#e#
Taking advantage of my insistent efforts, I was finally kissed by an opportunity to participate in a developing project, in which I worked as a core assistant of my teacher to develop the Iptables module under Linux. From a theoretical point of view, the development of the module could be included in the basic theories of the operating system. However, it was another challenge for me because I was not familiar with the programming of system module. Finally, I found the related knowledge on a book named “Module Programming”. Thanks to my repeated attempts, times of failures, at last, presented me with the final success. Through this practice, I believe firmly that failure is the access to the success.
中國科學院是引領中國科學技術發展的先鋒,從小我就渴望著有一天能成為其中的一員!大四的那個夏天我實現了我的這個夢想!通過老師的推薦我協助中科院自動化所的老師們開發一個基于生物特征認證的接口,雖然只有短短的兩個星期,但我從中受益匪淺。通過與實驗室專家教授的溝通, 以及在圖書館里查閱相關文獻,我將整個BIOapI的接口規范,類和數據結構的設計,以及對生物接口的理念進行了深入了解。最終利用C++編寫除了初步的與該實驗室應用上的接口。成功后的喜悅不言而喻。
I had a dream when I was just a kid----becoming a member in Chinese Academy of Science, the pioneer of the science and technology in China. My senior year witnessed me to achieve my dream. Under the recommendation of my teacher, I got the opportunity to work with the professors in automation department of CAS on developing the interface based on the biometric authentication technology. Two weeks was a short time, but a harvest time for me. Through the exchange with the experts and professors and looking up large amount of books and related literatures in the library, my understanding on all the specifies BIOapI interface, the design of the 類 and data structure and the biometric interfaces had largely deepened. Seeing the final success, the sweetest smile in the world blossomed on my face. #p#分頁標題#e#
我刻苦學習,認真的工作態度得到了中科院老師的欣賞,當我在本科的最后階段我被中科院的老師推薦到他們的軟件所中文信息實驗室進行畢業設計。我參與的是一個研究生的課題,中文博客搜索引擎。
My assiduity in study and careful working attitude won the appreciation of the professors in CAS. Therefore, at the last period of my undergraduate study, I was recommended by them to complete my graduation design by participating in a graduate subject of Chinese Blog Search Engine.
做為assistant在這個過程中我完成了對blog數據的抓取和存儲,采用的有C語言,perl語言,mysql數據庫。通過自學和向師兄請教又學到了很多的新技術和知識,最終完成了一個博客搜索引擎的框架。
As the assistant, I completed the access and storage of the Blog data by using C language and Perl database. With the help of my studying fellows, I finally designed a frame of the Blog Search Engine and learn many new technologies.
當我完成了大學的學習后,我接受了新浪網工作的OFFER。在這里我主要負責操作系統的批量安裝、軟件包定制以及安全配置,以及線上設備的正常運行,各種軟硬件故障的檢測和恢復。同時負責各種突發事件的響應與及時處理。還負責將整個公司數千臺服務器和網絡設備等的配置信息進行精確維護。
After graduation, I accepted the offer of working on Sina website, where I was mainly responsible for the batch installation of operating system, tailor of the software package, the safety configuration, the smooth running of the equipments on line, the test and recovery of various hardware failures. Meanwhile, I was in charge of the immediate response and disposal of the accidents and the exact maintenance of thousands of servers in the whole company.
在新浪做為系統工程師,在這里做的事情很多,有應用程序方面的、操作系統方面的、網絡方面的,還有各種硬件方面的。采用的技術和理論也涉及以上各類。平時遇到的技術問題主要是通過自己的判斷思考和實踐,結合其他專業文獻以及自己所學的專業知識加以解決。 #p#分頁標題#e#
As a system engineer in Sina website, there are a lot of things to do in the application process, operating system and network as well as in the hardware. We generally solve the problems by our own practical experience combining with the related professional literatures and the knowledge we have learnt.
幾年的工作經歷給我最大的感受就是我清醒的認識到自己的不足,我現在的水平舉例我的目標-成為專業領域的專家,相距甚遠.我不能在坐在自己的成績上幻想了,我要超越我自己,在技術方面我有著太多的缺陷需要彌補,我相信我現在需要深入細致的學習研究和找到一個良好的學術氛圍。
Years of working experience made me realized clearly that it has still a long way to go to achieve my dream---becoming an expert in this field. I have to step out of the “flowers” coating me now for my achievements to the further study for the next station on the way of life. Therefore, I need a nutritious academic atmosphere.
好奇心是學習新技術的必要條件,我具備這一條件。其次是善于鉆研,善于自學,動手能力強。這些在我上學過程中和工作以后更是得到了充分的鍛煉。我相信幾年后當我站在下一個人生的十字路口的時候我將更自信。我對未來充滿了期待!
It was my curiosity that pushed me onto the road of learning new technologies and it was my strong learning ability and capability that presented me with the current achievement. I believe that standing at the cross road of life after a few years further study, I will be more confident and stronger expectative for my future.
