第一篇：美国大学申请PS写作说明
1.个人陈述怎么写，写多少字？
个人陈述，需要学生自己写，就是介绍自己，包括兴趣、爱好、经历等相关情况，突出自己的优势和闪光点，也可写给自己印象比较深的一件事、这件事对自己有什么影响等，从而更好的向国外学校推荐自己。
2.要研究如何写PS，我们就要首先了解为什么美国大学要求你提供PS。原因很简单，美
国大学本科教育的目标是培养健全的“人”，而不是中国传统意义上的功用性的“人才”。因此，除了通过你的高中成绩和SAT分数了解你的学习能力外，学校还需要了解你作为一个社会公民的思想、价值观、独特经历以及未来规划。这一点，对于一些有着自身教育使命和价值观的学校，显得更加重要。毫无疑问 PS给申请人提供了一个最好的展示自我的机会，也是申请人和录取委员会的所有成员进行深度沟通的唯一渠道。3.一篇好的PS是应该是能够给读者带来好的阅读体验的PS。这个定义其实就是突出了
“体验”这个词。而这么强调体验是有理由的。原因很简单：当录取委员会的工作人员要阅读成千上万的PS的时候，他们是不可能记得住你PS的具体内容，但在阅读时的感受，却容易记得更牢。这就像，当你在回忆一个旧日恋人时，你可能连他/她长什么样有些淡忘了，但整体的感觉却历历在目。所以，对于申请者而言，当你想方设法写好一篇PS的时候，你实际上就在做一项“Impression management”(印象管理)的工作。
当我们搞清楚这一点后，很多问题就容易回答了。
第一，PS应该写什么样的内容？对于这个问题，我的答案很简单：能给读者留下良好阅读体验的内容。那什么样的内容能给读者留下良好的阅读体验？我想，可以由这么几个标准：1）新鲜。对于一个成天被大量内容雷同的PS折磨的美国大学招生官员而言，没有什么比阅读到一篇充满新鲜信息的文章更有意思的了。对于西方人而言，大凡是和中国传统相关的、中国风土人情相关的、中国历史相关的、中国文化相关的东西，都构成对他们的新鲜感。当然，如果他们阅读了大量的相关文章，那么这个新鲜感会大打折扣。2）有思想和深度。阅读的过程本质上就是作者通过文字和读者交流思想和情感的过程。一篇有思想有深度的文章能够让读者对作者的思想和情绪产生共鸣，引发联想，并进而产生对作者的好感。3）轻松。为什么要强调轻松？是因为我看到太多中国的学生喜欢写自己童年时的逆境，仿佛从小苦大仇深，熬到今天这步可谓历尽坎坷。我觉得这样的故事不是不可以写，但如果写得太多太重，给人沉闷压抑的感觉。还是要给他们准备一些能够让他们放松下来阅读并从中享受作者的情趣和思想的文章。4）人文。说起人文两个字，可能很多读者会觉得比较高深。其实这是一个非常朴实的词汇。凡是能触及人类本性和心灵层面的，我们都可以归之为人文。例如亲情、友谊、爱情、责任、荣誉、责任、同情等。原因也很简单：再严密的逻辑推理，再高深的科技，只能Prove（证明），但人文的东西能够Move（感动）我们。
第二，一旦在内容这个大方向上确定后，我们再考虑怎么写的问题。基本的出发点还是一样：要让读者以良好的阅读体验。基于此，我们首先想到就是语言问题。优秀的语言表现，我认为首先要强调的就是易读。很多中国学生喜欢用一些生僻的GRE词汇来显示自己的词汇水平，往往是适得其反。请稍体谅一下招生委员会的工作人员吧，他们一天要读几十篇文章。多用简单易懂的词汇，多用短句，少用从句，少用长句，少用倒装结构，能帮助他们多块好省地完成他们的本质工作。当然，我并不是说写文章就是要平铺直叙，索然无味，适当的画龙点睛式的语句是必要的，关键是掌握好度。很多时候，生动的，富有表现力的语言，往往是最简单的。
其次，我要强调的是写作的逻辑性、条理性和流畅性。
英语的写作中，逻辑性是非常重要的。逻辑不清，小至句子的语态和时态掌握不对，大到句子承接、篇章结构都会有问题。而偏偏中国学生从小接受的逻辑教育不够，说话往往前言不搭后语。这样的文章，肯定是要被筛掉的。条理性，我想不用多解释。关于流畅性的问题，需要多说几句。这里的流畅性，不仅仅指逻辑严密，条理清晰，简明易懂，还包含了节奏美感的意思。多看看美国的电影和纽约时报，大家就知道我说的是什么意思了。其实这个道理也很简单：逻辑严密，条理清晰的平铺直叙，我们只能把它比作直板的线条，把它和婀娜的曲线相比，便高下立现。同样的道理适用于我们赏读ESSAY。
最后，我还要强调一个“画面化”的原则。我们写PS的终极目的是让读者在阅读过程中产生良好的阅读体验，并且尽可能长地保留这种体验。画面式、场景式的描写将有助于更加直观地传递作者的情绪、思想和形象。例如，在为一个学生策划PS时，为了凸现其对从小对天文的浓厚兴趣，我用了这么一段画面式的开篇：“Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey…” When I was a little boy, many quiet summer nights, I’d lie on my back, looking into the sky dotted with stars and fascinated by the mystique of the remote universe.Starting from this pure yet strong curiosity was my journey of star-gazing and life-exploring.通过这段简单的描写，一个对天文学充满好奇心的孩子的形象就栩栩如生了。
4.以上谈的都是原则性的问题，具体到写作时，会有哪些套路
这个问题很多同学都很迷茫，这里我提供几种常用的写作程式。最常用的套路是以某一主线，将不同阶段的经历串联起来，展现出发展的轨迹，昭示将来的规划，并展示作者的思想、价值观或人生态度。这个主线，可以是某一个兴趣，或者某个目标，或者某个对某个事务的理解或态度。例如，在上述案例中，主人公从小就对天文深感兴趣，他在常年的天文观测中，获得了极大的乐趣，并进而在社区成立了天文兴趣小组，和同伴们分享科学探索的乐趣。2004年狮子座流星雨的成功观测，让作者获得极大满足，而作者而由此更加坚定了追随多年的梦想，去研究宇宙，体会纯粹的乐趣。这一种写法，往往可以通过时间的转换，来展现主线周围的多个层面。在上述案例中，就包含了作者对科学探索的兴趣，对社区的贡献、主动创新以及领导精神等诸多方面。
第二种写法，一般是描述一个发生在近年的一个比较重大的经历，并由此引申出作者的目标、愿望或者思考。这种写法和第一种的区别在于，不需要展现太明显的时间跨度，而把着眼点放在某个时间点或者时间段上。这样写的好处是可以把这个经历写得更加详细生动。
第三种写法，是比较少，也是难度比较大的一种写法，就是抒情或者议论为主的写法。作者往往对生活中的某个方面抒发感怀，或者对某个问题发表见解。这种写法有些类似散文或者杂文的写法，难度较大，对于驾驭语言的能力要求很高。我曾经看到过有一些中国中学生试图这么写，但都写得不是很好。但如果写得好，并且有其他文章配合，应该可以非常出彩。除非学生特别有思想，语言驾驭能力特别突出，并且确信目标学校的招生官员足够有品位，一般不建议采用这种写法。

美国留学PS应该写什么样的内容?对于这个问题，答案很简单：能给读者留下良好阅读体验的内容。那留学PS什么样的内容能给读者留下良好的阅读体验?我想，可以由这么几个标准：
第一：轻松，为什么要强调轻松?是因为我看到太多中国的学生喜欢写自己童年时的逆境，仿佛从小苦大仇深，熬到今天这步可谓历尽坎坷。我觉得这样的故事不是不可以写，但如果写得太多太重，给人沉闷压抑的感觉。还是要给他们准备一些能够让他们放松下来阅读并从中享受作者的情趣和思想的文章。

Subject: Successful Princeton Applicant
Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values.Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain outwardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and reject exceptions.Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in something that they scorn.Despite all the pressure, I never waivered from my belief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly express my opinion on this controversial topic.To gain some insight and reassurance for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the spring of 1995.This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment.At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in.This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subject.Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively.Attending this convention
accomplished two things.It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I took the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up or lose heart.Unlike many others, I was eager and willing to gain new knowledge so I may successfully promote my belief to others.In addition, this convention invigorated my confidence to stand up for what I believe in and taught me to never lose the courage of my convictions Socialising is very important to me,and im always keen to meet new people.I enjoy trying new foods to increas my knowledge of different cultures, and my culinary skill will prove very useful in independent university life.I enjoy traveling,and learn about morden history,Music is one of my biggest hobbies, and I use music to help me unwind and reflict on things.i use the internet to keep up current affairs and sports news.I have always been a keen sportsman, representing my school in many activies.i enjoy play so many kind of ball games,like tinnes,socer,and the like,in addition, I always go to th gym to work out.I believe that my experiments have prepared me for independent university life.My social skill together with my ambition to succeed in life prove me to be good candidate for a management degree
Economics and Finance Personal Statement
Having a flair for Economics and accounting I have decided that I want a degree in Accounting and Finance or Management.The many brilliant representatives of the management community around the world have
strengthened that resolve.When I worked in my school as a tutor of English as a Second Language for students from a community school in Muscat, I realized the importance of a strong leader who could organize, command respect, and be able to work well with others.These ideas were further enforced by my month long internship at Novartis Pharmaceutical(Accounts and Finance Department and Human Resources Department).I attended the Harvard Model Congress in Paris and won the Award of Distinction.One skill in particular that contributed to this award was my confident public speaking.The last 4 months have been crucial in my learning of real world business and economics.For my IB Extended Essay, titled “To What Extent Does Subway in Oman Operate as an Oligopoly”, I set out to prove the oligpolistic structure of the fast food market in Oman.In this effort, I have come across many real life complexities in pricing behaviour, profit making and other aspects of the Theory of the Firm.While attempting to explain these alternate theories of firms I have developed a keen interest in analyzing and understanding how the world of business works.After an undergraduate degree in accounting and finance or management I plan to go onto post graduate studies and work on an MBA.A strong performance in a BA will allow me to move onto an MBA and only then shall I be satisfied.For the last four years I have been part of our schools volleyball team ICE.We have retained our ISAC(Inter Schools Activities Conference, Middle East)title for four years.Playing in the power hitters(spiker)position requires immense physical fitness and to accomplish that I regularly go to the gym for fitness training.I am also part of my school track and field team.Being the fastest sprinter in the school since 11th grade the 100m, 200m and 400m races are my specialty even though I still pursue long distance running.In my spare time I explore and master the computer as I am conversant with a Visual Basic Programming course.It is imperative for me to have the latest hardware and software and I make it a point to install everything myself.I also learn Urdu as it is my native tongue and a link to my culture, to maintain that is crucial.Living in a diverse international community of over 52 nationalities has allowed to me recognize and appreciate different cultures.With the experience I have and the strong motivation to craft a bright future I feel I can justify my decision to pursue a career in Accounting and Finance or Management.主题：成功的普林斯顿申请人办理所有的失望和对我的成就，我一向引以为傲的，特别是价值观的奉献精神和热情，我有我的个人信仰。不幸的是，它经常被我很难保持外表坚定，在一个城市里大多数人都认为，拒绝例外信心。每当我发表了我作为职业生活主张的立场，同侪有追逐的被告，只是在嘲笑鄙视的东西，他们相信我。尽管所有的压力，我从未放弃对我的信仰，但我开始变得沮丧，失去勇气，公开表达对这项具有争议的话题我的意见。为了获得一些自己的见解和安慰，我参加了新泽西州生命权利公约在1995年春天。这个经验我和隆起提供巨大鼓舞和启发。在会议上，我收到了谁的支持和倡导，我相信，只有本公约的基

第四篇：美国大学申请写作的技巧[范文模版]
美国大学申请写作的技巧
很多学生觉得自己中文写作很在行，所以就干脆用中文把要求的作文写好，原句的翻成英文，然后找个外教改一改，就觉得可以交差了。如果你申请的是百名内的名校的话，你这样做就等于断送了自己被录取的机会。
大学申请的作文程序第一就是要选对题目。很多大学提供了不同的作文题目让申请者选择，例如Common Application 里的基本作文题目里就列出了6个，其中一个就包括了你自己可以选题。选题的技巧当让就是要选一个你最能发挥的题目，题目一般不难，对于申请者来说，要考虑的是写出来的东西能够让招生官员看到自己的亮点，如何利用一个简单的题目把你的。在短短250-500字里表达出来。简单来说，你可以先想想大部分的同学会怎么回答这个问题，你要决定的就是，千万不要落入这个俗套！
要记住，一篇好的文章可以让招生官员看到你生动活泼的观点，而且是你除了分数之外可以帮助招生官员是否决定录取你的重要因素。
1.文章内容一定要有你自己的个性，表现出你独有的观点，而且理念要统一，不要前后矛盾。在开始主题之后，记得用生动的例子来证明你的观点，才能吸引读者的兴趣。你的学术程度已经在GPA和SAT分数里可以看得出来，你所要在文章里面表现的一定是分数里面看不出来的东西，如个性，想法，领导能力等等。
2.尽量避免陈腔滥调，太泛的写法 – 不要有太多的形容词形容自己有多聪明，多优秀，多完美，招生官员对这样的文章会觉得不切实际。如果你真的想表现自己的优秀，必须要有实际的例子来表现。
3.不要拍马屁，而写一些你以为招生官员听了会很高兴的话-招生官员见多了文章写的尽是‘你们大学非常好，学术能力强，设备好，有某某有名教授或校友，是我从小就想进的唯一大学’等等的语言，还不如实际一点好好表现你自己的长处，或是你如何在这样竞争的环境中生存。
4.不要像写简历一样的写作文 – 你的学术经历和活动过程在申请表里面都详细的填好了，尽量不要在作文里面重复已有的内容，而是让招生官员更清楚的看到你独特的观点。
5.有的学生为了要充满要求的字数，想出很多不相关或是多余的词句来填补空间。不管申请作文要求的是几个字，你必须要把握的是要字字珠玑。
6.写完之后，自己一定要读过来确定内容是否通顺，是否有表达清楚你自己的意思?拼写和文法是否正确？如果只是用电脑里面的拼写检查通常是不够的，因为有的字你拼错以后如果是别的意思，WORD里面的拼写检查没法检测出来，也不会自动帮你修改。
当然要写好一篇满意的作文当然不是那么容易，因为每个大学要的文章不同，准备的早的学生可能会花两三个月的时间从构思开始，然后修改，复读，听取专家意见，再最终定稿。如果需要参考资料的话，可以推荐一本由美国College Board 出版的书：The College Application Essay，作者是：Sarah Myers McGinty，书上除了很详细的介绍写作的最好方法外，还有很多好的范文可以做参考，是在美国申请大学非常权威的一本参考资料。
When I wake up to the ear-splittingsound of my alarm clock, and blindly search for the snooze button, a suddenthought dawns: “What am I doing?” The time is 5:30 AM;all is dark andhushed.My weary body feels completely drained of energy.While straining toopen my eyes, still warm and snug in my comfortable bed, I am overcome with afeeling of lethargy.“Perhaps I should call in sick.” Despite all mymusing, and my bed's magnetic pull, I still manage to rise each morning at thisungodly hour to join the cross-country running team in rigorous training.Cross-country running, a sport thatrequires the fusing of body and mind, strives to maximize your physical abilityby testing your mental tenacity.Everyday represents a new struggle to beatyesterday's maximum output, an issue of mind over matter.I have known theagony of this conflict since I joined the newly established cross-country team.As convincing as my morning doubts are, I do not heed them.Through pains andsprains and through
adverse weather and unfavorable conditions, I run because Imade up my mind three years ago to succeed.With amenities such as cars and buses,I have no pragmatic reason to use my feet, especially if I lack a destination.I do not run to the gym to acquire a stylish figure, for my slender frame doesnot require it.And this grueling run differs from a relaxing jog to a coffeeshop.I am pushing myself constantly to run faster and farther, for my team aswell as for personal glory.Somehow with tireless effort and unflaggingcommitment, I run through the sleeping streets of my neighborhood with theawareness that I am steadily reaching my
goal-maintaining the discipline thatcross-country demands.In my mind I see a victory line that symbolizes theresults of perseverance and hard work.This line makes me realize that ambitionand tenacity do not go in vain.And it constantly
reminds me that all thosemorning in which I struggled to leave my cozy cocoon have allowed me to fly.While the world slept, I, Jane Smith,was awake and working hard to attain my goal.I feel more confident now, thaton the road of life, when others may be walking, I will be running.I will runthrough ankle injuries and through fatigue.I will endure the inevitable hillsand valleys.I will endure, and I will achieve.除了通用申请的Essay之外，有些学校还提供另外写一篇Essay的机会。有些学校让你在他们提供的题目中作出选择；而有些学校则没有任何限制。比如耶鲁大学的要求非常简单，只是要求你写一篇500单词以内的你想让耶鲁阅读的Essay即可，基本没有任何限制。哈佛大学也是让你自行决定写什么内容、什么题目，只不过给出了几个可能的写作题目建议：
a)你生命中的一个不寻常经历；
b)你在其他国家旅行和生活的经历；
c)对你最具影响力的书；
d)某学术经历(课程、研究项目、论文、或研究课题)；
e)过去一年中你读过的一系列图书。
请记住，这些只是哈佛建议的题目，决不是要限制你从中挑选，你完全可以自定题目来写。
题目样本
请提供你的个人自传及解释你的教育目标。
挑选并详细描述一次值得纪念或具代表性的生活经验，好让我们对你有更深入的了解。
描述你的一次最幽默或最尴尬的经验。
你的教育和事业目标是什么？这所大学能怎样帮助你达到这些目标？ 你为何会选择现在的学习科目？而你又会怎样将你所学的回馈家国？ 描述生活中一些启发你成长或你从中有所得著的事件。
描写你在家乡在2100年的生活。
如果你可以遇见某个已去世的人，并可与他交谈，你希望遇见谁又会和他说些甚么？
提示：简介影响你选择主修科目的因素，特别注意那些引导你选择研究这些课程的经验或想法。
入学申请文章的目的你的文章较你的学业成绩或推荐书更能让入学委员会了解你的自我和性情。你能藉此向入学委员会介绍你特别的地方，从而显示出你是与众不同。
如你的学业成绩记录显示弱点，例如你在某一班或某次考试有问题，你可藉此文章去解释或彰顯你的长处。
向校方显示你的写作能力。
当有关的委员会难以决定是否接受你的申请时这篇文章可显示你的认真度以作最後决定。
写作提示
应该做的仔细阅读题目并花多些时间去思考。
保证你没有问非所答。
与你的父母、朋友或教师讨论该题目。
同样认真地回答那些短问答。当被问及你参与课外活动的表现时，应列举你花费大多数时间参加的几个活动来回答，并说出该些活动对你的意义。
花费几天的时间去思考题目及准备写作。
先做一个大纲及组织文章的内容。
写一个初稿：使用一种简单的文体和语调写作，并力求简洁。使用你感舒适的字眼，有助别人更易於理解你的想法。让别人过目并对你的草稿提出意见。改正和修辑你的文章。
整齐写出或者打印出你的终稿。
校对你的文章。
不应做的不要只是重复你已经填写过的资料。
不要详述或恭维你想申请的学院。委员会想要知道的是有关你的东西，而非该学校的情况。
不要以相同的散文套用在不同的学院。
不要写一些你不知道或认识的东西。
不要使用艰深的字眼以图使委员会对你有更佳的印象，你可能会错漏百出。使用简单、易於理解的字眼去清楚表达自己更为重要。
不要请其他人代写你的文章，因委员会通常都能够辨别出来。如果他们查明属实，你可能会被取消资格。
Too Easy to Rebel
In my mother’s more angry and disillusioned moods, she often declares that my sisters and I are “smarter than is good” for us, by which she means we are too ambitious, too independent-minded, and somehow, subtly un-Chinese.At such times, I do not argue, for I realize how difficult
it must be for her and my father—having to deal with children who reject their simple idea of life and threaten to drag them into a future they do not understand.For my parents, plans for our futures were very simple.We were to get good grades, go to good colleges, and become good scientists,mathematicians, or engineers.It had to do with being Chinese.But my sisters and I rejected that future, and the year I came home with Honors in English, History and Debate was a year of disillusion for my parents.It was not that they weren’t proud of my accomplishments, but merely that they had certain ideas of what was safe and solid, what we did in life.Physics, math, turning in homework, and crossing the street when Hare Krishnas were on our side—those things were safe.But the Humanities we left for Pure Americans.Unfortunately for my parents, however, the security of that world is simply not enough for me, and I have scared them more than once with what they call my “wild” treks into unfamiliar areas.I spent one afternoon interviewing the Hare Krishnas for our school newspaper—and they nearly called the police.Then, to make things worse, I decided to enter the Crystal Springs Drama contest.For my parents, acting was something Chinese girls did not do.It smacked of the bohemian, and was but a short step to drugs, debauchery, and all the dark, illicit facets of life.They never did approve of the experience—even despite my second place at Crystal Springs and my assurances that acting was, after all, no more than a whim.What I was doing when was moving away from the security my parents prescribed.I was motivated by my own desire to see more of what life had to offer, and by ideas I’d picked up at my Curriculum Committee meetings.This committee consisted of teachers who felt that students should learn to understand life, not memorize formulas;that somehow our college preparatory curriculum had to be made less rigid.There were English teachers who wanted to integrate Math into other more “important” science courses, and Math teachers who wanted to abolish English entirely.There were even some teachers who suggested making Transcendental Meditation a requirement.But the common denominator behind these
slightly eccentric ideas was a feeling that the school should produce more thoughtful individuals, for whom life meant more than good grades and Ivy League futures.Their values were precisely the opposite of those my parents had instilled in me.It has been a difficult task indeed for me to reconcile these two opposing impulses.It would be simple enough just to rebel against all my parents
expect.But I cannot afford to rebel.There is too much that is fragile—the world my parents have worked so hard

To live a meaningful life everyday;to continually pursue my predetermined worthwhile goals.-My view of life.Could I put myself in the life-threatening working environment? Could I sacrifice my life for the benefits of others? Some people may laugh at my crazy question.To me, that is a serious question I have come a long way to find my answer.“I am not sure whether it is worth to answer”;“What is the true meaning of that question?”
When I was a young child, I watched a soap opera that was about court.I was deeply impressed by the judge’s calmness and the lawyer’s eloquence and resource that were showed in this opera.From then on, I hoped to study law some day.Fortunately, I performed well in entrance examination and got enrolled into xx University.Then I chose law as my major without hesitation.At university, I studied hard and got GPA
3.4.What’s more, I broadly read all kinds of books, including philosophy, history etc.My teachers’ instruction strengthened my understanding of law and makes me understand the significance of law to a country.From my studies, I had a lot of fun and got more interested in law.Moreover, I actively participated in practice in holidays from common company to law firm and tried to apply the theory I had learned into practice.This summer, I had my internship in counselor department in xxx Group Co Ltd which was involved in a business contract dispute, which was submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration.As a representative of the requested applicant, I took part in the evidence collection in the early arbitration stage and clearly explained why the 5% balance of goods was not paid on time.After knowing the whole case, I visited my teacher, an Arbitration Law professor, and listened to her opinions.Realizing the counterpart didn’t completely implement their contract duty, I gave reasons
as follows: First, the counterpart company didn’t mention bearing issue, which caused that the delivered machines couldn’t be put into the plant because of the disqualification of workshop.Thus overhaul was necessary, which delayed production and resulted loss.Based on these reasons, the counterpart didn’t completely carry out its duty, so our party did not pay the balance on time.During this time, I found out the evidence and pictures that attested counterpart did not give reasonable suggestion and service, and made a statement in the court.Finally, the arbitration turned out that counterpart compensated our loss, in which the arbiters invoked the reasons that I stated.They had a panel made up of 3 lawyers and 5 company
representatives as agents while we just had 3 persons—two lawyers and me.Under such condition, I was able to cooperate with them and clearly stated my opinions without any nervousness, which got their respect.This matter greatly inspired my enthusiasm on study.In addition, I took part in the contact draft in several companies.In the process, when I met a lot of problems, I
often turned to my teachers for help, which made good impression on them.As I cherished each practice, I studied my specialty and English hard.With effective study method and diligence, I did well both in English and law, which helped me a lot to get scholarship every year.On the other hand, my practice inspired me to study.In practice, I exercised my legal knowledge.I also realize the big gap between theory and its application—sometimes I have master the rules but I didn’t know how to use it in actual case.My practice experiences have not only strengthened what I learned but have supplied new knowledge for me, which is good for my future study and career.In my study and practice, I admired outstanding lawyers’ eloquence and jumping thinking more and more.However, in China, most of lawyers come from theory study and those who can perform well in practice are insufficient.Moreover, after the China’s entrance to WTO, there are a lot of problems with Chinese law.I think, my internship experience is not enough.In practice, I could combine substantive law with procedural law to analyze case, but I still feel my theoretical foundation is not solid enough.What’s more, comparably speaking, the chances that I have to initiatively study and practice are not a lot.Thereby, I am eager to study further abroad to know more about foreign law, thoughts and lawyer career so that I am able to stand out in fierce competition.美国留学申请PS范文赏析。上述内容就是今天为大家带来的关于去美国留学生活前大家准备的申请材料中的ps的范文赏析，希望看过之后对大家有所帮助。
