个人陈述Personal Statement介绍

Personal Statement主要用于描述个人的背景、申请目的、研究方向等信息，是留学申请材料中较重要却也比较难把握的部分。当申请者苦恼于GRE、TOEFL等标准化考试的成绩，一份得体的个人陈述却有可能让你力挽狂澜，从众多申请者中脱颖而出。在某些学校，个人陈述已经代替了面试，作为评价学生的一个重要依据。因此，个人陈述在整个申请材料的准备中占据了举足轻重的地位，也有必要赢得众位申请者的重视。

个人陈述是每个人个性和独特经历的体现，并没有统一的语言要求和写作格式。但是在留学文书的准备中，个人陈述属于正规的书面文体，用语最好符合书面语的规定。版面的安排应该整洁有序。同时在个人陈述的准备过程中应该仔细阅读申请学校的网页，寻找学校是否对于语言和格式有明确的要求。 在个人陈述的写作中切忌不要堆砌辞藻，不要过多使用长句和难懂的单词。否则会使阅读者头疼，可读性降低。写作要真实、诚恳、具体，语言要流畅，逻辑要清晰，内容要有血有肉，富有感染力和说服力。一般以1-2页600-800字为佳，太长则令人没有耐心仔细读完。另外，不要把文章写成炫耀你词汇量和句法的“GRE阅读文章”。

I am currently studying A level in Chemistry, Biology, Urdu and Physics. I gained my As level in computing. It has been my ambition to enter the medical profession since I was a child, and grew deeper during my primary school exams, which were hindered when I contracted measles so I couldn’t perform that well. A doctor helped me to cope with pressure. Therefore I thought of becoming a doctor so I would be able to help others.

I am very fond of reading new things discovered and invented in the medical fields.

I have gained an insight into the medical profession through shadowing my uncle who is a specialist in pediatric care. I thoroughly enjoyed working under a medical professional and how much hard work is covered in treating patients. It was a valuable experience for me to work in a clinic. I have done Voluntary work experience in Ashford Hospital located in West London. In this work experience I visited different departments and wards in the hospital and experienced that how the doctors carryout their jobs I also do more voluntary work among other things like giving meals to patients, making their beds, chatting with them, sharing their views. I have worked in the stroke ward for 1 week in the same hospital, and have seen how doctors treat patient that are mostly old aged people with strokes , and how the physiotherapists and occupational therapist helps them to get back to their normal life again.
