出国留学的学生,荷兰高校的申请准备中,个人陈述是非常重要的,大家要保证自己的PS写作符合要求,并且可以发挥积极的作用。今天出国留学网就为大家带来荷兰留学个人陈述写作技巧有哪些?
写作技巧
一、 注重细节
首先你要确定自己在个人陈述当中要说什么,确定主线和主题,然后用细节点进行阐述。
二、 注重故事性
如果给你机会选择,你是更愿意读小说还是新闻报纸呢?
所以一个好的故事更容易引起人们的共鸣,比平白的陈述强而有力。看一下这两个例子,不难看出哪一个更容易吸引人们的注意力。
三、“量化”你的故事
要注意你的故事不仅仅是提供一些无关紧要的信息,记住你的故事要围绕着你自己展开,让读者获取关于你更多的信息。
说到信息,你所展现的故事不仅要定性还要定量,也就是说最好要用具体的数字来辅助展现,帮助读者更好的理解你所做的深度。
四、 定制你的文章
很多学生在写个人陈述的时候所犯的最大错误就是利用现成的模板,在模板的基础上修改和写作,申请不同学校的时候仅仅是把学校的名字一些小的地方进行修改,其他的地方完全不动。
五、正式和随意兼并
基本上所有的个人陈述和文章都可以分为两类:一种是比较正式的风格,一种是比较随意的随意风格。
六、 不要编故事,做你自己
不要因为我们前面要求写自己的故事,你就想凭空捏造一些故事。
七、 “解释”问题
个人陈述是向录取委员会解释自己问题的一个好机会,如果你的背景有一些瑕疵或问题,一定要抓住这个机会,比如说有一年的gap year或者工作上出现过的问题都可以在个人陈述中做出合理的解释
八、 提前做工作
在确定申请的学校之前,一定要提前做好功课。对于你要申请的学校的细节十分了解。
九、反复修改,校对再修改
还有一点申请者们常常犯的错误就是,只是自己读自己修改申请文章。或许是应为不好意思,或许是认为朋友和家人对这些方面并不在行,但是把你的文书给他们看,读给他们听。
十、向教授寻求意见
在写完自己的个人陈述之后,最好找到相关领域的教授品评。作为一名教授,在业内领域的经验也是十分丰富的,他们往往会给你很多专业方面的经验,尤其是给很多学生做过推荐人,有过国外求学或是交流经验的老师,他们的建议更加宝贵。
范文分享
By serving as a noncommissioned officer in theUnited StatesMarine Corps, I learned and developed valuable leadership skills that would prove crucial to my success as a leader and to my ability to gain the respect of my subordinates. The Marine Corps places great emphasis on leadership characteristics, believing that great leaders are not born, they are properly trained. I submitted to grueling training on my way to becoming an officer in the Marines, and believe this training gives me the foundation of strong leadership skills that I will need in every day corporateAmerica.
Leadership in the Marine Corps is more complicated than the simple management of employees. I learned this lesson the hard way, being thrust into a management position as my unit was being shipped over seas during the Persian Gulf War. As a newly promoted Corporal, I was given the job of night crew supervisor in charge of 15 other marines. In the Marine Corps, leaders are not only held accountable for the work getting done but also for the performance and conduct of their marines. At the age of 21,I had the responsibility not only to carry out my orders but also to safeguard the personal lives and protect the general welfare of my men. This being my second time over seas, I understood many of the difficulties that a young marine can have on their first extended trip away from their family. I enjoyed helping my marines over come their problems, and learned that the benefits were well worth the time that I invested. I discovered that employees who have the support of their management tend to be more focused on the tasks at hand, gaining levels of trust and loyalty that can only benefit the organization.
Related to this issue of gaining trust and loyalty through management supportiveness is that the Marine Corps requires creative means to motivate subordinates. It can be very difficult at times to be in charge of individuals, yet have no direct control over their salaries or advancement in the organization. The government decides military salaries, and promotions are controlled by boards with the primary means of measurement being time in service. For this reason, I learned to manage through mutual respect. I believe it is much more important to gain the trust and confidence of your employees than to use direct compensation to motivate them.
Throughout my Marine Corps career and beyond I developed many strong leadership skills, but most of all I learned that to be effective as a manager one must remain focused on the human aspect of leadership. By concentrating too much on the goal and not on the people needed to meet it, leaders risk alienating their employees and thus failure in achieving the goal itself. By leveraging the lessons and qualities I gained while serving as an officer in the Marine Corps, I hope to meaningfully contribute to the academic environment at the Anderson School of Business.
