Compared with self-recommended students, students with secondary school recommendation qualifications are more likely to pass the preliminary examination in colleges and universities, so if possible, parents are advised to strive for school recommendation qualifications as much as possible. If the self-recommended students don't have hard proof of winning the prize, the only thing that can convince the college teachers to give the candidates a chance to take the exam may be the personal statement materials.
It is not easy to write a personal account. You need to invest a lot of time and energy. In the initial stage of independent enrollment, personal statement is an important means for college enrollment teachers to understand students. The main criterion for candidates to pass the initial stage of independent enrollment is personal statement. A good personal statement is a booster for candidates, and even an excellent personal statement can determine whether you can pass the initial stage.
Before writing a personal statement, you should clear up a train of thought. Recall the stories and characters that had a great influence on you when you were growing up, and then list all your strengths and specialties. Don't feel that you don't have any strengths. You can discuss with your parents or some close people and discover and know yourself through their mouths.
Learn more about the characteristics of the university you want to apply for through various channels, but it is difficult for a senior three candidate to understand the characteristics of a university in a short time. We can first check the university motto, history, regional characteristics, dominant disciplines, some touching stories, famous teachers and well-known alumni on the Internet to learn about a university. In addition, you should know what career you want to pursue in the future, whether it conforms to your life ideal and what courses you want to study in the university.
Next, you need to determine the general idea of an article, and combine the characteristics of the university and major you are applying for to determine which advantages and majors you should focus on. Then you need to establish the idea of sorting out the article, the expression at the beginning should be novel, and the middle part should focus on your specialty and learning and growth process, plus some feelings about your life. Finally, you'd better explain the reasons for your application to this university and major, and then express your plans for the future and your ideals.
The general framework of such a personal statement is relatively complete.
There are some precautions in the writing process:
1, to distinguish between primary and secondary, focused; Be sure to write around the content and ideas determined in advance. When writing, don't give a hammer and a stick. If you think it's so important, it's also important. Everyone wants to put it in and write themselves well. This lack of coherence in the article makes readers and teachers feel that you are impetuous. Be sure to highlight the advantages that can meet the requirements of your university and major among many advantages, and simply mention other advantages, or even not mention them;
2, new ideas, there must be a better starting point. A good beginning can impress your teachers and attract them to read;
3. The main body of the article is expository text, which can be expressed in many ways, such as narration, discussion, description and lyricism.
4. As a result of explaining the situation of candidates, insert the awards won by candidates into candidates' hobbies, articles, opinions and stories. Make the most of the prizes won in high school. There's really nothing to use before high school. Write down the ranking and name of the award. The use of these awards should be organically combined with the article to explain your strengths and advantages, and you can't write for the sake of explaining the awards;
5, sincere feelings, not artificial. When the concrete image shows the candidate's achievements and abilities, the key is to be sincere and show a real person; For a candidate who applies for science and engineering and whose language performance is not very prominent, the text should be as simple and straightforward as possible, and there is no need to pile up so many gorgeous words;
6. Give full play to the personality of post-90s college entrance examination candidates. Everyone has their own dreams. Imagine that at least three or four thousand people apply for the independent enrollment of a university every year, and a recruiting teacher may need to look at thousands of personal statements. A good article will not make the teacher feel bored, but will like you through your personal statement;
7. When writing, students with good writing style should pay attention to the fluency of words, no typos and mistakes, a certain literary talent, concise and meaningful words, the ability to quote classics, and the use of rhetorical devices such as parallelism, personification and metaphor to highlight their personality, which can make the marking teacher leave a deep and beautiful impression when reading;
8. You can write why you want to apply for this university, why you want to apply for this major, and appropriately show the candidates' yearning for the university and their love for the major;
9. In general, a personal statement should be written before the university registration begins. After the university's self-enrollment and enrollment charter comes out, read the university's self-enrollment and enrollment charter carefully to see what requirements there are for personal statements in terms of text and content. At this time, you only need to modify some. In order to avoid starting to write when signing up, the preparation is not sufficient and the quality of the article is not high enough;
10, the number of words is about 1500. In previous years, some universities required 1000 words or less, while others required 1800 words or more. It is convenient for them to modify the enrollment regulations after they come out.
Self-recommendation letter for independent enrollment of Central South University
Dear teachers of Central South University,
Hello! I am a senior three student in Lai 'an Middle School (a provincial demonstration high school) in Chuzhou City, Anhui Province. I am deeply grateful and honored that you can take time out of your busy schedule to read my letter of recommendation.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing the Xiangjiang River, it is fresh and elegant with pleasant scenery. The beautiful Central South University has made great contributions to the construction of the motherland. I am fascinated by the glorious appearance of Central South University and admire its rich connotation and profound cultural heritage. Praise from all walks of life is an affirmation of Central South University, an institution of higher learning with talented people.
I am eager to be a member of your school. Reason is romantic, but it has many shortcomings. I am eager with the excitement that my parents entered the university 20 years ago. Next year, I will walk on the quiet path of Central South University and revel in the rich book fragrance in the air.
Growing up under the drunken pavilion, I was immersed in the gloomy style of study early. My parents inherited the excellent quality of "respecting teachers and attaching importance to education" from my ancestors, and my mother was the person who had the greatest influence on me. Under her education, I was able to be strict with myself in my study since I was a child, and my study was excellent. I remember when I first entered high school, when I was a little mature, I saw some unfair social phenomena on campus and in society. I even feel pessimistic and world-weary because of my strong personality. My mother enlightened me and said, "You can't change the world, but you can change yourself". From then on, I became peaceful and humble. In making friends, I pursue "as light as water". In doing things, just like my name-"Fan", I yearn for the kind of broadmindedness that sings high mountains and soars in the blue sky.
I was born in the autumn when the red leaves are falling, and it seems destined to be attached to words. Yes, I love words, and I love the rich brushstrokes of sketching on flexible paper to outline the appearance of words. I have won prizes in Chinese and composition competitions, and the composition is often chosen by the teacher. Since primary school, I have been writing novels, and novels from thousands to hundreds of thousands of words have flowed out of my pen in this passing time. Maybe I'm not a genius writer. For me, in this noisy society, it is enough to return to the simplest and quietest emotions. I participated in the National New Concept Composition Competition this year, and the results haven't come out yet, but it doesn't matter, because I enjoyed the whole process.
Last year, my brother entered your school with excellent results in the college entrance examination; Now I want to follow in my brother's footsteps and go to Central South. Xiangya College, I love it. When I was young, I dreamed of making "elixir of life" and decided to be a doctor when I grew up. Now I seem more obsessed. There are many kinds of life, either persistent or free and easy. I can't predict what kind of life I will have, but I will try my best to grasp every turning point on the road.
"Turn", now I am facing a huge "turn" in my life-the college entrance examination, and I hope I can spend it peacefully; I prefer to turn the corner and catch a glimpse of the gate of Central South University. There must be a "turn" and a "fold", and there will be many bumps on the way to your school. After studying hard for ten years, I am confident to meet the challenge. As a senior three student, the passion in my heart is like a red flame burning in the sky. Even avalanches can't be wiped out. ...
I wish the teacher a smooth life and your school a smooth life!
