(A) self-complaining, straight to the point.
I am applying for a doctorate in electronic and computer engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. In this statement of purpose, I stated my research experience and research objectives. I want to use my solid education and experience as an engineer to get a doctorate in computer science in a famous university. I especially hope to receive advanced training in software system, database system, applied artificial intelligence and knowledge system. My ultimate goal is to become a professor of computer science in China University. I believe that advanced training in high-quality graduate programs will help me achieve my goals.
(B) Narrative stories, reasoning type
Tell your family story.
My father is a certified public accountant and my mother is a banker. During my days in engineering school, I often went to my father's office to help him manage the portfolio of stocks and other financial instruments. This is the first lesson I learned from my father, that is, risks and rewards are proportional. 1998 in my second year, the China stock market crashed. Fortunately, my father has a very diversified portfolio, so our return is not affected by downside risks. This is the second financial principle I learned from my father, that is, diversification can reduce risks. Although I intuitively understand these two principles, it gives me a strong desire to learn and understand the complex theory behind financial operation. I believe this is a turning point in my career. I made up my mind to pursue a career in finance, so I decided to study for an MBA.
2. Describe the event and draw out your own interests and opinions.
When I graduated from college, both of my mother's hip joints were replaced with artificial hip joints, because her hip cartilage was worn out and she was very painful to walk. I find it fascinating that engineers, plastic surgeons and biologists work together to design these completely changed artificial joints. People's lives give them painless movement. At that moment, I knew this was a field I wanted to know more about. Nowadays, in China, those college graduates who are not lucky enough to find their ideal jobs often regard graduation research as a way to kill time, otherwise they will not be able to spend their time meaningfully. I'm going to break social conventions and suspend a successful research career, which is expected to achieve greater success. After eight years of fruitful and valuable practical research, I now want to return to a more rational life, so that I can conduct more theoretical discussions.
(3) Quote proverbs and famous sayings.
When asked how to cover up the prominent statue, French sculptor auguste rodin replied: "I choose a marble and cut off the part I don't need." (French sculptor Rodin said, "Give me a marble and remove the excess." To me, life is just a marble-whether this marble can be turned into an extraordinary statue depends on your talent, diligence and sense of responsibility. During more than four years of college life, I have always dreamed of becoming a perfect female researcher, so that I can enhance the confidence of more young girls in scientific research and encourage them to promote the development of science like men. Because knowledge itself is power. This is one of my favorite aphorisms. At this stage of my life, when I am about to graduate and my future is like a dream, this aphorism has never affected my life as much as it does now.
(d) perception of the subject.
In the past three years, my undergraduate education has exposed me to various sub-fields of computer science (CS). However, our syllabus mainly focuses on "traditional" computer science topics, such as operating systems and single CPU systems. We know almost nothing about new technologies that may change the way of calculation in the near future. The desire to study these topics in more detail is the reason why I choose graduate study. Because of the comprehensiveness of China's "reform". And open policy, economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. As a senior majoring in economics in Peking University, I think my field is very important to the development of our country. However, at the same time, I am very aware that what I learned in college is far from enough. Therefore, I am eager to study for a postgraduate degree in economics in your school. If I am admitted, I intend to specialize in economic development and public economics.
