ps是一个在申请中你可以推销自己的过程，一般它可以分为两类：一类是一般性综合性个人称述，你将拥有写些什么的最大自由，这种ps是为申请表格而准备的。另外一类是针对特别问题的答案，一些学校申请要求问一些具体的问题，你的ps应该具体回答所问的问题。下面与大家分享在普渡大学ps写作的topic提到的几点写作意见，希望可以对申请该大学的学生有所帮助。 Tell a story Think in terms of showing or demonstrating through concrete experience. One of the worst things you can do is to bore the admissions committee. If your statement is fresh, lively, and different, you ll be putting yourself ahead of the pack. If you distinguish yourself through your story, you will make yourself memorable. 通过具体的经历来展示自己，会使你的文书显得生动且与众不同，从而给录取官留下深刻的印象。 这里的讲故事并非是要编造虚假的经历，而是以讲故事的形式讲述发生在自己学习生活中的比较有意义的事件。例如， 这篇文章以叙事的形式描述一次接待诺贝尔奖得主的经历，讲述学生在这次活动中遇到的困难、解决方法及其感受，体现学生解决问题的能力和坚持不懈的性格特点。同时，生动多变的词句运用给人一种身临其境的感觉。 Be specific Don t, for example, state that you would make an excellent doctor unless you can back it up with specific reasons. Your desire to become a lawyer, engineer, or whatever should be logical, the result of specific experience that is described in your statement. Your application should emerge as the logical conclusion to your story. 如果无法给出具体的理由，不要说自己会成为一名优秀的医护人员。设定职业目标要符合逻辑，且要在文书中交待清楚这样的目标是如何形成的。例如： 在该段文字中，学生先讲述了自己对法律专业的认识及其重要性，然后以therore引出 我非常渴望学习法律 的结论。给人一种 因为法律很重要，所以我决定在这个领域发展 的感觉，并没有很好地揭示出法律专业对学生本人来说有何特别的地方或其吸引力所在。 Tell what you know 讲述自己对申请专业的了解 The middle section of your essay might detail your interest and experience in your particular field, as well as some of your knowledge of the field. Too many people graduate with little or no knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the profession or field they hope to enter. Be as specific as you can in relating what you know about the field and use the language professionals use in conveying this information. Rer to experiences (work, research, etc.), classes, conversations with people in the field, books you ve read, seminars you ve attended, or any other source of specific information about the career you want and why you re suited to it. Since you will have to select what you include in your statement, the choices you make are often an indication of your judgment. 文书中要详细阐述自己对申请专业的兴趣、相关经历及知识。尽可能展示自己对该专业及相关工作领域的了解。使用专业术语是比较有效的方法之一。同时，也可以提一下相关的工作或研究经历、培训经历、与专业人士的交流、读过的书籍、参加过的研讨会等。通过这些描述来体现自己对申请专业的了解，并证明自己适合学习这个专业。当然，并不是毫无选择地罗列，需要对素材进行筛选。筛选的结果同时也是对判断能力和材料组织能力的一个证明。例如： 以上两句话出自一篇金融申请者的文书，其中，invest（投资）和reserves（准备金）均为金融专业术语。这样的用词可以同时体现学生对申请专业的浓厚兴趣及了解。 至于工作或研究经历、培训经历、与专业人士的交流、读过的书籍、参加过的研讨会等硬性优势则需要学生积极参加此类活动不断积累。 Don t include some subjects 须避免话题 There are certain things best lt out of personal statements. For example, rerences to experiences or accomplishments in high school or earlier are generally not a good idea. Don t mention potentially controversial subjects (for example, controversial religious or political issues). 有些话题最好不要在文书中涉及。例如，高中阶段或之前的经历及成就；一些可能引起争议的话题，如宗教或政治问题。 Do some research, if needed 做一些必要的调查 If a school wants to know why you re applying to it rather than another school, do some research to find out what sets your choice apart from other universities or programs. If the school setting would provide an important geographical or cultural change for you, this might be a factor to mention. 如果学校要求阐述申请该校的原因，那就需要调查一些这个学校或者你要申请的专业在这个学校有什么与众不同的地方吸引着你。学校环境，例如地理或文化上的不同，也可以作为考虑因素之一。 Write well and correctly 仔细认真 Be meticulous. Type and proofread your essay very carully. Many admissions officers say that good written skills and command of correct use of language are important to them as they read these statements. Express yourself clearly and concisely. Adhere to stated word limits. 许多录取官曾表示良好的写作技巧及正确的选词用词也是影响他们评估结果的重要因素之一。所以，请简明清晰地表达自己的想法，同时注意字数要求。例如： 该句无论是在句法和逻辑关系上都比较混乱，读完后不知道句子的重心在哪里，且会引起 他是要申请什么专业呢？法律？商科？ 之类的疑问。作为揭示学生职业目标的重要语句，这样的错误应该是文书写作中的致命伤。 Avoid clich s 避免陈词滥调 A medical school applicant who writes that he is good at science and wants to help other people is not exactly expressing an original thought. Stay away from often-repeated or tired statements. 有的医学院申请者会在文书中写道：I am good at science and want to help other people。这并不能很好地表达他自己的思想。所以，请避免重复这种毫无意义的乏味语句。 总之，，对于硬件条件不够的同学来说，只有通过PS写作来弥补和取胜了，写得一份出彩的PS可以让你瞬间变成美国学校青睐的学生，从而取得的机会。 供稿人：澳际集团总部美国翻译 孙亚南 特别声明：此文章为澳际公司原创文章 如有转载请注明澳际及作者姓名
