在申请较为学术、研究型的专业时,大家经常会听到SOP(Statement of Purpose)这个东西。不同于PS(Personal Statement),SOP一般译作学业计划,它强调的是purpose(目的)。通常来说,一篇SOP主要包括四个部分,兴趣和动机、学术背景和专业经验、选择目标院校原因以及学业计划与目标,不同部分内容也不相同,那么SOP该怎么写呢?本文DueEssay教育为大家分享写作方法。
I am honored to apply for the Master of Library Science program at the University of Sheffield because as long as I can remember I have had a love affair with books. Since I was eleven I have known I wanted to be a librarian.
When I was eleven, my great-aunt Gretchen passed away and left me something that changed my life: a library of about five thousand books. Some of my best days were spent arranging and reading her books. Since then, I have wanted to be a librarian.
I gained significant experience as an intern in a chemical engineering lab that I will apply to my graduate study.
(在化学工程实验室担任实习生的过程中,我收获了丰富的经验,接下来,我会将它应用在研究生学习中。)
同样是介绍实习经历,下面这个不知道高到哪里去了,既有具体地点名称,也有实地进行佐证,说服力更强。
While interning at the UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Lab, I discovered a new method for crystallizing citric acid. In my article published in the New England Journal of Chemistry, I explained how this can potentially transform the industrial production of this compound. I intend to pursue research on these applications during my graduate study.
During my second year of engineering, I joined ‘Teach Math’, a local NGO, where I was a part of the Math tutoring team. For a period of 10 months, I taught basic math like algebra, geometry and arithmetic to more than thirty 5th and 6th grade students. And every single student I taught to, secured an A in math that year.
I am drawn to xxx University School of Kinesiology and Health Studies specifically due to Dr. Spencer Moore’s background in medical anthropology and current work with social network analytic techniques.
I am impressed by the importance your university gives to research.
尽量结合具体人物和实际名称来叙述,更有说服力。
I would fully utilize the resources that the Wallenberg Hall provides, as I am particularly interested in the field of molecular chemistry. The special 24/7 laboratories provided for student research on molecular processing is exactly the kind of opportunity I am looking for, as I could totally see myself working in the labs day and night.
