Describing the Details of Your Experiences in a Personal Statement,这是在PS写作时需要时刻注意的要点。
Strictly speaking, an experience is an event that you participate in or share that changes you. It’s important to pay attention to the details here: an experience is
严格意义上来讲,这里的“经历”指的是你过往参与或承担的一次具有改变人生作用的大事件。注意,这份经历应当是——
1) an event
1)一次事件;
2) participatory
2)你有参与其中;
3) leads to change
3)最终导致你的改变。
In short, the experience part of your personal statement should be a narrative that tells a compelling story. Here’s an example of how not to describe an experience:
总之,要想漂亮地完成个人陈述的经历感悟部分,你应该做好的就是讲一个鼓舞人心的励志故事。不过,下面我将要举的则是一个经典错误案例:
‘In the first semester of my second year of college, I took an introductory course in Biology. The teacher, Professor Smith, was really great, and I decided to take more biology courses.’
“大二的第一学期,我上了生物学导论课。授课老师——史密斯教授——非常棒,所以最后我决定多上一些生物相关的课程。”
An introductory course is, by definition, a course open to everyone. It’s going to be hard to tell something specific about yourself when the event (#1) is so general. Make sure that the event you are describing is interesting and unique. A better example would be: was there one particular session of the course where some question or issue was raised? Was there a time you spoke to the professor in office hours or in lab?
导论课是什么?看定义就知道,导论课对全校学生开放。所以,当你选择了这样一个普通的事件(#1),深挖事件背后的意义再联系自身就会变得异常困难。一定要确保自己选择的事件是有趣并且独特的。这方面好一些的例子诸如:有没有哪一次上课时出现了问题?你有没有在办公室或实验室与教授当面交流?
Second, there’s nothing participatory about this (#2). There is no involvement on your part: you’re just describing what happened to you instead of describing what you did. “I asked Professor Smith for more readings and he directed me to the book Advanced Biology by Carpenter, which I read with enthusiasm.” That’s what you did, not just what happened to you.
其次,这个例子本身就没有什么参与性(#2)。从你这方来看:你只是描述了“当时我面前发生了什么事”而不是“当时我亲自做了什么事”。“我向史密斯教授询问是否还有更多(这方面)的阅读材料,于是他给我推荐了Carpenter的著作,《高级生物学》——事实证明,那是一本非常非常有趣的书。”这才是你做了什么,而不仅是单纯陈述当时发生了什么。
Finally, it’s important to explain how the experience shaped you (#4). What did you believe before that was changed? “I used to believe that Biology was only the study of microbes and organisms visible under a microscope, but Professor Smith’s seminar on zoology and the animal kingdom opened up a whole new part of the field to me”. That explains how the experience was important in shaping your interests.
最后,阐明这次经历是如何改变你的才是重中之重(#4)。变化发生之前,你是怎样想的?“我以前总觉得生物学就是在显微镜下面整天观察细菌和有机体,但是史密斯教授的动物学研讨课让我看到了新世界——动物王国的大门。”这就解释了这件事在你兴趣改变中发挥的重要作用。
One word of caution: an overly narrative personal statement isn’t entirely appropriate. I would suggest one, or perhaps two, experiences. The rest should be credentials and vision, which I’ll tackle next.
但是谨记一句话:叙述性过强的个人陈述反而不那么恰当。我建议最好只写一个经历,或最多两个。文章的其余部分则应描述你所做的“准备”和“未来规划” 。

Or receiving a present from that special someone, no, people look forward to Christmas, because they know its a time... for miracles...
或者从某个特别的人那里收到一样特别的礼物,但并非只是如此,人们盼着圣诞节,是因为他们知道,这是奇迹出现的时候。
