When applying for more academic包養網 and research-oriented majors, you often hear SOP (Statement of Purpose). Different from PS (Personal Statement), SOP is generally translated a包養s academic plan, which emphasizes purpose .
Generally speaking, an SOP mainly 包養軟體includes four parts, interests and motivations, academic background and professional experience, reasons for choosing the target institution, and academic plans and goals .
The contents of different parts ar包養網e also different. Below, I will explain how to write each part based on the four parts.
- interests and motivations
At the beginning of your SOP, you should first explain what your motivation is and what inspired you to apply. Note包養 that this part is not a self-introduction and does not require introductions such as name and age.
When introducing the sources of motivation, the content we most often see is the following.
I am honored to apply for the Master of Library Science program at the University of Shef包養網評價field 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.
(I was honored to apply for the Master of Library Science program at the University of包養網VIP Sheffield because I have been in love with books for as long as I can remember. At the age of 11, I knew I wanted to be a librarian.)
短期包養
There is nothing wrong with this method of expression, but an overly formal tone feels like a template and has no originality. You must know that the tone of the SOP is between cordial and formal . We can use more innovative expressions to impress the instructor.包養金額 The more common one is t包養軟體o start with a story .
好比下面的一段話，用故事的方式來表述，刻板正式的口氣就少瞭良多。
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.
（當我十一歲的時辰，我的姑姑格蕾琴往世瞭，給我留下瞭轉變我平生的工具：一個躲書年夜約五千本書的藏書樓，收拾和瀏覽這些冊本是我最美妙的時間。從那時起，我一向想成為一名圖書治理員。）
不外，講故事的方式講述需求有一個年夜條件，你的故事必需是真正的的，不要假造故事。
並且，這部門的故事描寫要冗長，盡量在三到四句話內停止，它隻是一個引子。SOP應當更多的關註將來——你選擇這一專門研究的Purpose，而不是著眼於曩昔。
2.學術佈景和專門研究經歷
先容過念頭和愛好之後，你要展現與這門專門研究相干的學術佈景和專門研究經歷，包含且不限於你的本科論文、研討項目、練習經過的事況或其他重要研討任務。
在先容的我們過往包養金額的學術佈景或是專門研究經歷時，需求註意不要籠統的先容，最好聯合詳細實例。好比上面這個例子：
I gained significant exper包養網ience as an intern in a chemical engineering lab that I will apply to my graduate st包養網udy.
（在化學工程試驗室擔負練習生的經過歷程中，我收獲瞭豐盛的經歷，接上去，我會將它利用在研討生進修中。）
異樣是先容練習經過的事況，上面這個不了解高到哪裡往瞭，既有詳細地址稱號，也有實地停止佐證，壓服力更強。
While interning at the UC Berkeley Chemical Engineering Lab, I discovered a new method for crystallizing citric acid. I包養n 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.
（在UC伯克利化學工程試驗室練習時，我發明瞭一種使檸檬酸結晶的新方式。在《新英格蘭化學雜包養俱樂部志》上頒發的文章中，我說明瞭這能夠若何轉變該化合物的產業生孩子，我預計在我的研討生進修時代持續研討這些利用法式。）
除瞭聯合詳細實例，我們還可以應用數字來量化進度，好比你要論述一段在NGO（非當局組織）支教的經過的事況，有有數字完整是兩種分歧的感到。
During my engineering days, I helped a local NGO by joi包養網ning as a math tutor, where I taught basic mat包養網h concepts to school children.
假如我們在此中恰當參加一些數字量化本身的任包養務，不只讓論述更詳細，並且數字能包養更直不雅表現出你的任務結果。
During my second year of engineering, I joined ‘Teach Math’, a local NGO, where I was a part of the包養 Math tutoring team. For a period 甜心花園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 ye包養網ar.
3.選擇目的院校緣由
凡是來說，在這部門我們城市繚繞包養甜心網目的院校的特定傳授，或特定範疇來論述。好比該校針對某些範疇的研討打算對你很有吸引力，或是有哪些奇特的上風。
在說起該校的傳授時，註意不要隻提名字，如許過分空洞。可以懂得一下幾位傳授研討的現實內在的事務，具體描寫此中一個的標的目的，也可以援用他的詳細研討，表現很很愛好。好比上面如許：
I am drawn to 包養感情xxx University School of Kinesiology and Health Studies specifically due to Dr. Spencer Moore’s background in medical anthropology and current work with social networ包養網k analytic techniques.
（xx年夜學活動與安康學院吸引我的緣由是，我特殊愛好Spencer Moore博士在醫學人類學方面的佈景，以及以後在社交收集剖析技巧標的目的展開的研討。）
這裡紛歧定非選擇該校該範疇最包養網心得有名的傳授，包養由於其他先生普通也城市如許選。
這一部門不只要論述目的黌舍相干的工具，也要從本身動身，好比你可以或許與傳授和研討生相處融洽、在如許的周遭的狀況下可以或許實時完成學業等等。總之，從兩方面論述，表白你與黌舍是相互選擇的。
4.學業打算與目的
包養網
這一部門可以說是整篇SOP中最主要的部門，你需求論述本身的學業包養網目的，可以分為持久和短期目的。
短期就是你若何在目的院校中停止學業，諸如您想參加哪門課程以及在該課程中選擇哪些標的目的，在這段進修中你會取得哪些專門研究常識、技巧等等。
持久目的就是在顛末這段進修經過的事況後，你預計如何持續進修，詳細標的目的和範疇。
異樣地，這個部門也不要應用上面這種空洞的語句。
I am impressed by the importance your university gives to research.
盡量聯合詳細人物和現實稱號來論述，更有壓服力。
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 o包養管道pportunity I am looking for, as I could totally see myself working in the labs day and night.
比擬下面的描寫，這個描寫顯明表現出你的預備是何等充足。別的在這一部門你可以勇敢的應用專門研究術語，由於你的讀者都是目的範疇的資深學者，懂得上不會有題目，而術語的應用也會增加壓服力。
為瞭順遂完成這一部門，破費時光搜集目的院校的傳授信息是需要的，年夜傢要提早預備。
看完這些，年夜傢關於SOP寫作有沒有更明白瞭呢？假如還有題目，接待鄙人方留言哦！
最初，這裡還有一份小提醒，年夜傢聯合下面的內在的事務一路應用。
關於SOP寫作的Tips
1.應用熱忱的語氣：在論述經過歷程中，語氣恰當的熱忱一點，表示出對該黌舍的愛好，能讓導師感觸感染到你對黌舍的盼望，這也是一個加分項。
2.字數限制：一篇SOP的單詞多少數字在500-1000之內，即一到兩頁，盡量堅持在這個范圍。
3. Personal information related: Usually the SOP does not require introdu包養甜心網ction of names, but specific schools will have different requirements, which shall prevail.
4. Avoid defects: If there are no requirements, avoid low-scoring items in y甜心寶貝包養網our academic experience, such as semesters with low grade points during your undergraduate period.
