现在你知道了我们为什么要写PS,现在我们需要仔细思考我们要写点啥。
现在你还不需要开始思考文章框架和行文结构,你只需要思考一些关于你的成长经历并做一些记录。但也不是泛泛地记录,最好的方式是使用一系列的标题并在该标题之下写一些与之相关的亮点。以下是可供你思考的主题:(以下关乎主体写作部分,就不做中文翻译,用英文思考有助于PS写作)
What you want to study at university and why?
Specific aspects of the courses that interest you
Examples of coursework you have completed
Practical work you have enjoyed
Things you have read related to the subject area
Work experience or voluntary work in this area
Conferences you have attended
Personal experiences which lead to the decision to take this subject
Where you hope a degree in this subject will lead
Experiences that show you are a reliable and responsible person
Part-time job
Business enterprise
Community and charity work
Sixth form committee
Helping out at school events and open days
Young Enterprise, World Challenge, Duke of Edinburgh award, Asdan Award Debating societies and what you've gained from these experiences.
Your interests and skills
What you like to do in your free time
Sport and leisure activities
Subjects you study which are not examined
Musical instrument which you play
Languages which you speak
Prizes you have won or positions achieved in your interests
Gap year(这个主要针对local学生,英国当地的孩子会在大学毕业之后有个gap year,专门去环游世界体验人生)
Why you're taking a Gap year (if you are)
Why you want to take a gap year
What you plan to do
How this may relate to your course
这样的记录下来,你就会有一系列的关于你自己的亮点,这些素材在你的PS写作当中都非常有价值。
上面清单提到的要点如果你都还没有素材也不要担心,只要仔细去思考你做过的哪些事情可以很好地表现你的优秀品质。最重要的是你需要有一个明确的足够有说服力的理由去申请课程,就算那些理由现在听起来有些愚蠢。
所有的招生办老师都希望招收那些对自己申请的课程有足够的热情和激情的学生,只要热火火得证明你确实是就可以!
如果你选择这门课程仅仅是因为你没有其他更好的选择了,那你就要仔细考虑换一门你更喜欢的专业。
现在咱们有一些写作的思路了,几乎可以开始考虑怎么把它们写进PS中了。
