As a youngster I was quickly captivated by science. I was an extremely quick learner and constantly wanted answers. I was intrigued by the simplest of things, such how as magnifying glass could be used to set dried grass alight, why you could see your breath on a cold morning, and why birds could fly. I spent my early years absorbing the information from books as fast as my parents could find them, and this reflected in my schoolwork. 作为一名年轻人我很快就着迷于科学。我是一个及其快速的学习者并且渴望得到答案。我对及其简单的事物都很着迷,例如放大镜可以让甘草燃烧,为什么在寒冷的早上可以看到自己的哈气,为什么鸟儿可以飞翔。我在早年从我父母能给我找到的书中搜集信息,这都在我的作业中反映出来。 By the time I came to sit my GCSE examinations, in which I received top grades in physics, biology, chemistry and mathematics, I was already familiar with much of the syllabus I would be following when I moved to college. During this time arrangements were also made for me to spend my two-week work experience period in the city’s museum of science and technology, which I enjoyed considerably. At first I had been disappointed to find no research facilities willing to take on a teenager for a two-week placement, but my two weeks at the museum turned out to be more than satisfactory. Learning about how the first experiments were carried out, and how these findings were analysed, utilised and developed to help advance our understanding of the world around us. For the first time I really put into perspective just how much humanity has managed to learn over thousands of years, while realising just how small this quantity of understanding could be. 等到我来坐我的GCSE考试中,我收到了最高等级的物理,生物,化学,数学,我已经熟悉的大纲,我会在当我搬到大学。这段时间的安排也使我在城市的科学和技术博物馆花了我两周的工作经验的时期,我相当喜欢它。起初我已经失望,找不到研究机构愿意接受为期两周的安置少年,但我的两周在博物馆原来是较令人满意的。学习如何进行的第一个实验,以及如何将这些研究结果进行了分析,利用和发展来促进我们对我们周围的世界理解。这是我第一次真正投入的角度正是许多人类已经学会了几千年,而意识到我们对世界的理解是如此之少。 My thirst for scientific knowledge has never diminished since my early years and I see my future devoted to a broad spectrum of scientific study. At this time I am not ready to devote my attention to one particular field and am keen to continue learning about the sciences as a whole. The greater my understanding of the different elements of the scientific world the better equipped I feel I will be when the times comes to focus my attentions towards a more specialised field of study and research. I feel developing such a broad understanding of the sciences will inevitably be beneficial to any scientific research I undertake in future years. Understanding the whole picture, so to speak, can only be beneficial if I do decide to specialise my learning in future years. I feel I have the necessary understanding, qualifications and personal drive to successfully take on a course in the sciences. My ambition is to be involved in a wide range of pioneering of scientific study and I feel this is the obvious choice for the next stage of my education.
