Personal statement PS in the application materials for studying in the United States is a personal statement or explanation. To tell whether you like this major, how much you like it, and what you think about the future, you must tell your views on this field and your love for it when you were studying in graduate school or PhD.
The following is a ps model essay:
Live a meaningful life every day; Continue to pursue the valuable goals I set in advance. -My view of life.
Can I put myself in a life-threatening work environment? Can I sacrifice my life for the benefit of others? Some people may laugh at my crazy question. For me, this is a serious question, and I have gone a long way to find my answer. "I'm not sure it's worth answering"; "What is the real meaning of that question?"
When I was a child, I watched a soap opera about the court. In this opera, I was deeply impressed by the calmness of the judge and the eloquence and wisdom of the lawyer. From then on, I hope to study law one day. Fortunately, I did well in the entrance examination and was admitted to xx University. Then I chose the law major without hesitation. In college, I studied hard, GPA 3.4. Besides, I read a wide range of books, including philosophy and history. My teacher's teaching strengthened my understanding of the law and made me understand the importance of the law to a country. From my study, I got a lot of fun and became more and more interested in law. In addition, I actively participated in the practice from ordinary company to law firm during the holiday, and tried to apply the theory I learned to practice.
This summer, I worked as an intern in the Legal Advisory Department of xxx Group Co., Ltd., which was involved in a commercial contract dispute, which was submitted to China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration. As the representative of the respondent, I participated in the evidence collection work in the early stage of arbitration and clearly explained why I didn't pay the final payment of 5% on time. After learning about the whole case, I visited my teacher, a professor of arbitration law, and listened to her opinion. Realizing that the other party didn't fully fulfill the contractual obligations, I gave the following reasons: First, the other company didn't mention the bearing problem, which caused the delivered machine to fail to enter the factory because the workshop was unqualified. Therefore, overhaul is necessary, which delays production and causes losses. For these reasons, the other party did not fully fulfill its obligations, so we did not pay the balance on time. During this period, I found evidence and pictures to prove that the other party did not provide reasonable advice and services, and made a statement in court. Finally, the arbitration result was that the other party compensated us for the loss, and the arbitrator quoted the reasons I stated. They have a team of three lawyers and five company representatives as agents, while there are only three of us-two lawyers and me. In this case, I was able to cooperate with them and express my opinions clearly without any tension, which earned their respect. This incident greatly aroused my enthusiasm for learning.
In addition, I also participated in the contact drafts of several companies. In this process, when I encounter many problems, I often ask my teachers for help, which left a good impression on them. Because I cherish every practice, I study my major and English hard. With effective study methods and hard work, I get good grades in English and law, which helps me get a scholarship every year. On the other hand, my practice inspires me to study. In practice, I have exercised my legal knowledge. I am also aware of the huge gap between theory and application-sometimes I have mastered the rules, but I don't know how to use them in practical situations. My internship experience not only strengthens what I have learned, but also provides me with new knowledge, which is good for my future study and career.
In my study and practice, I admire the eloquence and jumping thinking of excellent lawyers more and more. However, in China, most lawyers come from theoretical study, and few lawyers can perform well in practice. In addition, after China's accession to the WTO, there are many problems in China's laws. I think my internship experience is not enough. In practice, I can combine substantive law and procedural law to analyze cases, but I still feel that my theoretical foundation is not solid enough. In addition, by comparison, I don't have many opportunities to actively study and practice. Therefore, I am eager to go abroad for further study and learn more about foreign laws, ideas and lawyer profession, so that I can stand out from the fierce competition.
It should be pointed out that:
The length of 1 and PS should be moderate, with 600-800 English words.
2, closely related to the major, clear the main line, to avoid blind personalization. Let the Admissions Committee know your clear and strong motivation to choose this major, and at the same time have sufficient conditions to complete the study of this major.
3, simple structure, close contact, clear main line, easy to understand. Remember: simplicity is the best.
4. Carefully arrange the relationship between PS and other documents. PS, recommendation letter, resume and other documents constitute a set of application documents, which need mutual authentication, each with its own emphasis.
5. In terms of language expression, English should be authentic, conform to English thinking habits and writing styles, and avoid Chinglish. You must pay attention to these points, which are very important for your successful study and life in the United States.
