个人陈述开头怎么写?试试这几种方式!(下)
         
大家好~
 
上期小编介绍了个人陈述开头的三种方式,接下来我们继续看看还有哪些有效的PS开头写作方法吧!
               
 
04
 故事画面
 
 
When I was a child, I begged my parents for my very own Brother PT-1400 P-Touch Handheld Label Maker to fulfill all of my labeling needs. Other kids had Nintendos and would spend their free time with Mario and Luigi. While they pummeled their video game controllers furiously, the pads of their thumbs dancing across their joysticks, I would type out labels on my industrial-standard P-Touch with just as much zeal. I labeled everything imaginable, dividing hundreds of pens into Ziploc bags by color, then rubber-banding them by point size. The finishing touch, of course, was always a glossy, three-eighths-inch-wide tag, freshly churned out from my handheld labeler and decisively pasted upon the numerous plastic bags I had successfully compiled.
        
 
 

这篇PS从讲述作者童年时期的一个经历开始,这个故事体现了她对标签的狂热。在申请名校时,无论多么微不足道的个人特质和特殊的个人习惯,总是被视为个性的标志,而且能够加深招生官和申请人之间的连接感。
         
 
05
对话式
 
 
“Ella, what did you think of Douglass’s view on Christianity?” I gulped. Increasingly powerful palpitations throbbed in my heart as my eyes darted around the classroom – searching for a profound response to Dr. Franklin’s question. I took a deep breath while reaching the most genuine answer I could conjure.
         
“Professor, I don’t know.”
 

 
对话式的PS开头效果和场景描述相差无几,很容易把读者引入情境之中,激发阅读兴趣。
         
 
06
事实类开头
 
 
Last summer I gained work experience at Rolls Royce in Bristol. The meticulous accuracy and aspects of creativity that we were exposed to during that week confirmed that aerospace engineering is categorically my preferred career.
 
讲述你的兴趣起源,通过参与某个实习、某个项目激发了自己的兴趣,也可以讲家庭氛围的带动,或者以你最近参与的实习科研项目着手。
         
          
07
创意开头(非常规式开头)
 
 
Day 19: I am using my school uniform as a slate to tally the days. As the ink slowly seeps through the fabric of my shirt, I begin to understand that being a conscious Arab comes with a cost.
         
Flashback.
         
Day 7: I come across a live stream on social media, 1,200 Palestinian political prisoners are on their seventh day of a hunger strike against the Israeli occupation. It is the first I have heard of its occurrence. I allow myself to follow the news daily through social media while regional mainstream media and our local news channels refrain from reporting any news of the strike.
 

 
 
事实上,这篇PS每一段都采用了Day No.开头的方式,从第一段的Day 19到后面的Day 7, Day 18, Day 20, Day 28, Day 41. 这篇文章最大的亮点就在于它的结构,作者使用蒙太奇的结构谋篇布局。记住,招生官要阅读大量的个人陈述,一个不寻常的结构可以让你在人群中脱颖而出。但是这种形式有一定的风险性,如果把握不当,容易适得其反。
 
          
08
反思式开头
 
 
Since earning my first hourly wage at fifteen, I became aware of the real value of money and am conscious of how it forms the foundations within our society. So why does our economy operate in the way it does, and how do I fit into this?
 

 
反思式可以通过一步步探索答案,展现深层的人生思考,也可以让招生官走进你的内心世界,一起探索。但是,这种方式非常考验思考的深度和想法的趣味性。
         
以上是小编整理的美国成功案例的PS开头方式。当然,在构思PS开头时,还有一些大忌需要引起关注:
 
 
1. 避免重复的自我介绍。“我是xxx”、“我来自xxx大学xxx专业” 不需要在ps里赘述。
 
2. 不要讲童年,也不要讲自己亲戚父母朋友的“伟大事迹”。很多申请者会写自己从童年就对某件事情产生了强烈的兴趣,这种开头方式很多申请者都会用,但是真的是太没有新意了。
 
3. 减少引用名人名言。即使你开头用了一句很著名很有深度的名人名言,也会显得你没有创意,另一方面也会很明显的给老师一个印象:你不知道怎么去写PS的开头。
         
最后,祝愿大家都能收到心仪院校的offer!
