正文:
有些文章寫作是用以理解問題魁莉,但個(gè)人陳述卻是用以讓讀者了解你随闺。審閱個(gè)人陳述的負(fù)責(zé)人通常具有以下特點(diǎn):(1)閱讀速度極快镐确;(2)閱讀量極大;(3)閱讀范圍極廣宴倍。因此痹束,他們絕對(duì)是世界上最難討好的讀者群检疫。但事實(shí)上,討好他們不是你的第一要義祷嘶;重要的是你能夠在個(gè)人陳述里向他們展示自己滿滿的正能量屎媳。
這里權(quán)且列舉一些你能夠做的:
——清楚直接:審閱官從不會(huì)深思你文章里的暗示或任何引申含義,但由此產(chǎn)生的理解偏差卻會(huì)要你的命抹蚀。所以剿牺,如果你希望他們考慮某些問題企垦,就請(qǐng)直白地說出來环壤。
——真摯誠懇:審閱官可以敏銳地察覺到你文章里的某些內(nèi)容是否只是為了能被成功錄取而刻意為之,因此千萬不要那么做钞诡。寫個(gè)人陳述時(shí)郑现,能有多誠懇就寫多誠懇,至于相信與否荧降,留予他們自行判斷即可接箫。因?yàn)檫@件事的關(guān)鍵之處在于:你越真誠,那么你筆下的故事也就越獨(dú)特朵诫、越引人注目辛友。你應(yīng)當(dāng)盡己所能,寫出惟你獨(dú)享、別人無從經(jīng)歷的世界废累。
——樂觀積極:從你自身經(jīng)歷中選取一個(gè)有助益的視角解讀邓梅。這樣一來,相當(dāng)于你在告訴審閱官邑滨,“我是一個(gè)具有附加潛力的人才”日缨,因?yàn)槟悴粌H能夠在完成自我成長,還可以幫助別人獲得進(jìn)步掖看。相對(duì)地匣距,切忌在文章中涉及懸而未決的問題或是你所作決定中的種種不確定因素——這類內(nèi)容會(huì)讓審閱官對(duì)你的個(gè)性和潛力產(chǎn)生懷疑,而這樣的懷疑無疑會(huì)對(duì)你的申請(qǐng)帶來負(fù)面影響哎壳。
英文原文:
Some writing is done to understand a problem, but the personal statement is written to be understood by an audience. This audience (1) reads essays fast (2) reads a lot of essays (3) has seen every variety of essays on Earth. They are a tough audience to please. In fact, pleasing them is not the answer. Offering them positive value is the answer.
Here is what you can do:
-? Be direct: they must never wonder what you mean or imply. Their confusion will hurt you. If you want them to think something, say it directly.
-? Be genuine: they will know if you are saying something just to gain admission, so do not do that. Write your story as compelling as you can, and offer it for their judgment. The more genuine you are, the more unique and notable your story can be. Write something no other person can write.
-? Be positive: find a constructive viewpoint on your experiences. This will send the message that you will thrive and help others thrive: that you will add value. Do not talk about unresolved tensions or uncertainties in your decisions. Both of those things raise doubts about your character and potential, and doubt will hurt you.
