申請美國研究生，文書PS能彌補你的硬件不足，為你的申請加分，因此常常能決定申請的成敗。一篇文書的開頭很重要，有了一個好的開頭，就是成功了一半，就好像拉琴之前的定音，音定準了，拉出的曲子就會動聽。但是，文書開頭中也有一些句型是絕對不能出現(xiàn)的，下面我們?yōu)榇蠹铱偨Y了在寫ps的開頭段時要注意的問題，以避免被第一眼秒拒掉。
一、重復簡歷型
I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in … Sciences with a specialization in … in 2002 at … university
點評：不要去重復簡歷中的東西，這在很多學校的PS要求中明確提到，個人陳述的寫作要具體到事件上，事件解決上，而不要單純重復已有的內容。
二、學校介紹型
I am an undergraduate in…University , the largest university anda cradle of scientific and technological talents in China.
點評：該同學的PS開頭等于是一個申請學校的簡介，這好像是在幫助學校做宣傳，或表達你有多了解該學校，而不是寫個人陳述了。這是沒有意義的開頭，白白浪費了字數(shù)，最容易被秒拒掉。
三、抄襲句式型
As a student majoring in Computer Science, I began my odyssey since I entered undergraduate program. Indeed, having entered this splendid computer world, I am more than greedy for something new.
點評：Odyssey 和more than greedy for something new 這種句式不知道是從哪里學到的，很多同學在用。但你要知道，老外最恨抄襲，最喜原創(chuàng)，所以利害關系大家想想吧。
四、救世主型
I am a problem solver. I have an impulse as a kind of instincts to solvevarious problems before me and enjoy doing that. Since I was a little boy, a voice from President Franklin Roosevelt has constantly hovered around my mind, "The world can be changed by man's endeavor, …
點評：一副救世主的形象，小時候就受富蘭克林的影響，立志改變世界。PS的寫作一定要個人化具體化，別吹牛，甚至帶著一種霸權主義思維。
五、猶抱琵琶型
Making a right decision at the right time is very important for a young people .At present, I have come to a critical point in my life when I have to make a decision concerning my future course of action. Only a perceptive understanding of oneself will enable one to chart his proper action. Aftercarefully thinking, reviewing my life and analyzing my personality, I make the determination and choose to apply for graduate study in XXX. And I choose to specialize in communications which I will pursue a lifelong career.
點評：重點放在自己要做重大決定上了，人生的轉折點，然后來上句所謂名言警句，這是浪費字數(shù)。在有限的字數(shù)里，同學們應該學會直接，并且抓住重點，突出自己最有優(yōu)勢的方面，最有特色的方面。
六、憶童年型
“Why the gecko can climb on the wall while we can't-”“Why the leaves turn red in autumn”How many stars are there in the sky-' When I was in childhood,I always kept asking my mom all kinds of questions。I am especially interested in how things work, I can even take apart things for several hours in order to find out its principle.
點評：上來就回憶童年少年自己如何有著遠大抱負，who cares?個人陳述字數(shù)有限，卻用這么多話描述童年，沒有任何意義。學校想知道你如何看待未來，而不是如何度過過去。
