Tips on Writing a Personal Statement 写作ps技巧
The Personal Statement is a very important aspect of the application process. Everything else the Graduate Committee learns about you is from someone else, Letters of Recommendation, etc. This is your opportunity to connect with the members of the Graduate Committee in your own words. The Graduate Admissions Committee carefully reviews this document. Cover the following points:招生委员会要认真关注以下几点。
What are your Career Goals? 职业目标
Describe undergraduate and/or postgraduate research experience 本科研究经历
Why do you wish to pursue Graduate Studies in Agricultural and Resource Economics (AREC) at the University of Arizona? Be specific. 为何要选择某个项目，应该具体。
What research interests do you have in common with members of the AREC faculty? See Faculty Profiles你与这个项目的成员有没有共同的研究兴趣。
? Describe your long range professional plans. Do you intend to pursue a Ph.D. program? What type of work do you plan to pursue upon completion of your Graduate Studies program?你的长期职业目标是什么，博士吗？毕业后准备做什么。
It's important to relate any relevant experiences you might have. How well prepared are you to enter our Graduate Program? What have you been doing to prepare yourself to meet your career goals?
Tell your story. This is not to say tell your whole life's story in a novel length document. Keep your Personal Statement as short in length as possible. Tell enough about yourself to reveal to the Graduate Committee how well you fit your career goals and are prepared to enter a Graduate Studies program. Promote yourself. Don't assume the Letters of Recommendation have captured what you are all about to the Graduate Committee. Make your Personal Statement interesting and informative. It doesn't have to be chronological.
讲述你自己的故事。Ps应该尽量短。
Be proactive about advocating why you want to enter postgraduate training. The Graduate Committee wants to see by your Personal Statement that you've done your homework and researched our program and faculty and that you know what you're getting into. The Graduate Committee will be looking to see if you are a good match to our program.
应该积极主动
It is imperative that you use good English in your Personal Statement. The Personal Statement is your demonstration to the Graduate Committee that you have the competency and writing skills to handle writing a Master's Thesis. It might be helpful to have another set of eyes to help you proof your Personal Statement to locate any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, incorrect punctuation, etc. 英语要好，ps是你自己能够写好论文的证明。
