申请美国大学入学文书范本

I guess it was inevitable that I’d be on hockey skates at some point in my life, but I did not expect that I’d become one of a rare group of female ice hockey officials before I even reached high school. Being born into a family of hockey players and figure skaters, it seemed that my destiny had already been decided.

Right from the beginning, my two older brothers and my father strapped me up and threw me onto the ice. I loved it and, in my mind, I was on my way to becoming a female Gretzky! But my mom had to think of something fast to drag her little girl away from this sport of ruffians. Enter my first hot pink figure skating dress! That was all it took to launch fifteen years of competitive figure skating. Even though figure skating soon became my passion, I always had an unsatisfied yearning for ice hockey. It took a great deal of convincing from my parents that competitive figure skating and ice hockey didn’t mix. My compromise became refereeing ice hockey; little did I know that I was beginning an activity that would influence my character and who I am today. When I began, I would only work with my dad and brothers. Everyone was friendly and accepting because I had just started. I soon realized though that to get better I needed to start refereeing with people I wasn’t related to, and that’s when my experience drastically changed. An apologetic smile and an “I’m sorry” wasn’t going to

get me through games now. As I began officiating higher-level games and dealing with more arrogant coaches, I suddenly entered a new male-dominated world, a world I had never experienced before. My confidence was shot, and all I wanted to do was get through each game and be able to leave. Sometimes I was even too scared to skate along the teams’ benches because I would get upset by what the coaches would yell to me. “Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” was a ty///picment that coaches would spit at me during the course of a game. In their eyes, I did not belong on that ice, and they were going to do whatever they could do to make sure no women wanted to officiate their games. I was determined not to let them chase me off the ice.

I made the decision to stand up for myself. I never responded rudely to the coaches, but I did not let them walk all over me and destroy my confidence anymore. I started to act and feel more like the 4-year certified Atlantic District Official that I am. There were still a few situations that scared me. One time I called a penalty in a championship game during the third overtime and the team I penalized ended up losing because they got scored on. I knew I had made the right call, even though I was unnerved when I saw the losing teams’ parents waiting for me at my locker room; for the moment I wished I hadn’t called that penalty. Although it was scary at the time, I stood my ground and overcame my fears. That was an important

stepping-stone in my officiating career and in my life.

After four years of refereeing, I still can’t say it’s easy. Every game hands me something new and I never know what to expect. Now I have the confidence and preparation to deal with the unexpected, on and off the ice. I now also know to take everything with a grain of salt and not let it get to me. I have learned that life is just like being out on the ice; if I am prepared and act with confidence, I will be perceived as confident. These are the little lessons that I’m grateful to have learned as a woman referee.

Things to Notice About This Essay

1. The author tells an interesting story about her experiences as a referee.

2. A sense of her personality—determination, flexibility, good humor—comes through in the narration.

3. Details like “Do you have a hot date tonight, ref?” make the narration memorable (we’d love to hear more of these kinds of details).

4. The essay needs a faster start. The first paragraph (three sentences) says the same thing in both the first and third sentences—and gives away the essay’s surprise in the second! A good revision would all of paragraph one and start at paragraph two.

5. There’s too much frame here and not enough picture. The essay needs further development, especially about the difficulties of

becoming and being a ref, to keep it vivid.

6. The author should “dwell” in the meaning of the experience a little more at the end—“I wonder about…I also think…Sometimes I believe….” Significant experiences like this one, woven through many years of the author’s life, don’t mean just one thing—there are more insights and lessons to explore here.

yours Sincerely

文书会踩到的坑

误区1.用很多深奥的句式词汇

出色的ps从未偏离过“我是谁?”和“我能提供些什么?”

从这两个主题介绍自身，描述你作为有竞争力候选者的潜能。因此，将个人生涯中涉及主题的主要成就，转折点和大事件必须相应地着重突出，将生涯中决定性事件单独拎出来。要尽量以简单容易常用的词汇来表达，写完后，自己先读一遍或者请别人看看，如果读完没什么感觉，继续改吧。 多检查英文的时态、性别及单多数等方面的错误。自己也可以用手机读一遍并录下来，回放听听是否有问题。

如果你感到自己写很吃力的话，你可以求助专业的文书机构或者学长学姐，记住要尽可能减少你的时间成本，求助他人真的不丢人，虽然我也鼓励DIY。

误区2.什么都想写，没有取舍

文书不是CV，不需要罗列经历面面俱到。一般选取3个经历比较好，多了就是蜻蜓点水了，少了太单薄;选取突出自己特点，与众不同的经历。选取能写出具体细节的经历。经历多样化，不要全部都是实习经历，全部都是社团经历，或全部都是上课经历，而是搭配。

比如教育学的话是强调理论和实践结合的学科，因此文书里最好有1-2件教育实践的经历，不需要太高大 上，本科生写写家教等都是可以接受的。最重要的是自己通过这个实践对教育理念的感悟和反思。

申请书填写指南

1、先注册一个ID

相信类似APPLYNOW或APPLY ONLINE醒目字眼大家都能看到.点这些连接就是打开在线申请的。有的学校是在研究生院招生网页上，有的是学院招生网页上，比如College of Engineering;还有的是在各个系自己的网页上。

一般正式填表前要注册一个ID，填自己 的用户名和密码，确认成功后就可以用这个登陆了。注册了ID后可以使用其反复登陆填写系统需要的信息，只需要根据要求并在Deadline前提交即可。现 在的网申系统包括了个人基本信息，推荐，PS等内容。有的网申系统还包括了状态查询，可以查询到自己邮寄材料是否到达，是否被录取等信息。

2、如何填写网申表格-

填写网申表格采取两种方式，一是在线填写申请表，二是下载PDF申请表打印出，最后再和申请材料一起邮寄回去。第一种方式十分快捷，集中体现网申优势;第二种方式不能称作纯粹网申，有容易掌握、填写方优势，整理、寄送起麻烦。推荐大家将两种方式结合起。

在线填写个人资料和申请信息时，最好常 用文本内容准备好，放一边，填表时直接拷贝，方且易出错。如果遇到理解或确定地方，先空，搞清楚后，再登陆上去填写。灵活修改网申最大亮点一。一般说，填写完全部内容后，应当全面检查一至两遍后，再最终提交。最终提交提交后，能再作修改。

3、网申中PS和简历如何提交-

很多学校网申系统要求申请者线提交PS和简历，才能完成在线申请。有些学校对PS和Resume写法有特殊要求。对于这样样学校，首先按学校要求先准备好PS和简历，再拷贝上去。千万不要在网申的编辑界面中直接撰写，一旦出现网络链接不通畅的情况，你的功夫就白费了。

4、推荐表和推荐信如何填写-

有些学校有自己专门推荐信格式和推荐表格。先要求考生填上自己基本信息，再让推荐人回答一些问题，例如和申请者关系，认识多久，从多个方面如何评分等待。必须下载推荐表格，并打印出，要保证推荐人正确地进行填写。

还有一些学校需要推荐人登陆学校的网申系统提交推荐材料。对于这样的要求，仅要让推荐人准备好推荐信电子版，需要同推荐人通力配合，帮助对网络操作熟悉推荐人做好表格填写。

Personal Statement

My aspiration for finance can be traced back to my teenage years, when my father was fascinated with stock market and I bought stocks together with him for fun.When he purchased a new one, I would ask him the bid price and expected ask price, and then brainstormed how much we may possibly get.Earning money by investment after ups and downs was a fantastic experience for me, and I came to realize that there exist rules and principles deeply rooted in finance theories and statistics, which drove me to further explore the field.Now, through three-year systematic studies in economics and finance, my interest and passion have been fully exploited and I made up my mind to pursue a career in the field of finance.The more I know, the more I want to know.In order to do further study and build a successful future career, I plan to go for advanced study in the United Kingdom, where the most cutting-edged researches and practices of financial analysis are being carried out.Luckily, I believe that I am in possession of essential qualities for undertaking both advanced training and career development in finance and economics, such as the good control of English and an always-stay-discrete attitude.I believe with those characteristics, I will surely survive through twists and turns in the world of finance.My undergraduate studies in economics have provided me with good academic foundations.Through studying fundamental theories in economics(including Advanced Mathematics(95%), Intermediate Microeconomics(87%), Macroeconomics(80%), Monetary Banking(83%), Development Economics(89%)and Econometrics(87%)with the using of Eviews software, which enables me to establish basic mathematical models to solve problems), I have mastered a basic understanding and a clear picture of Western Economics, Risk Management & Insurance, Finance, Financial Engineering, etc.Benefiting from my strength in mathematics and effective learning, I enjoyed an upward trend in the academic performance, preparing myself to be a capable student with diligent studying style.Since junior year, I began to focus on securities and futures.Supervised by my financial professor named Qingyuan Zhang who taught me Monetary Banking, I researched the stock index futures in western financial markets and its performance.Based on the research, I completed an essay(to be published in National Financial Journal in Nov.2012)where I listed the operations of stock index futures investment in western capital markets and put forward my ideas about stock index futures investment in Chinese mainland markets.Thanks to the research, I have mastered the methodology on how to approach a problem in a logical and analytical manner.In January 2013, I have participated in Hongkong Management Trainee Plan.I had been engaged in communication and arrangement works with Harry Ho-Director of Aviva and Andy Mak-Chief Investment Strategist of Aviva, analyzing the result of GSEC Marketing Competition Simulation Contest of each group by using relative software, participating in the discussion on fund mix choice, supervising the implementation of public projects and assisting in auditing the project last-term report and grade.Besides academic excellence, I also tried to enhance my social communicative skills and leadership.For three years, I worked at student union of my university, in charge of organizing various campus activities such as music festival, arts gala, and cultural salon.I nurtured interpersonal communication skills, leading my team to complete the activity-launching tasks within limited time.I believe these skills are necessary for supporting my success in both the academic and social life in a new environment.However, it is far from enough to arrive at my destination-the field of business and management.In order to gain more improvement，I looked for a precious opportunity to work as a Futures Manager Assistant in GF Securities Zhangjiakou Branch of Hebei Province.In this company, I have learnt the relative knowledge on stock markets analysis and futures business, maintaining the existing customers by collecting the feedback from the customers and reflecting to the manager and looking for the new customers by introducing the profit and risk of the futures to the potential customers.To seek for more improvement, I work as a HR Director Assistant in Beijing Branch of Budweiser China Sales Co., LTD.I was then responsible for making the statistics of the employees’ attendance rate and drawing the weekly report.New employees’ recruitment and training, assisting HR director in arranging the meeting decoration, receiving the customers and helping the HR director coordinate the relations with other departments, are also what my responsibilities lie in.With my ambition grows greater, I found it a mix of challenge and fun to be my own boss.Driven by the common idea, I, together with four partners, create an offline program.I was in charge of the marketing part.My work was talking over the cooperation with catering, entertainment, hotel and training institutions besides Nankai University and Tianjin University.We designed the entity coupon for the stores and gave out them to the college student by taking advantage of societies and student union.The discount activities submitted to the final discussion result with merchants.From the activity, we achieved the situation of “Win-win-win”.On one hand, the merchants could get more customers and popularities through our promotion.On the other hand, the customers got cheaper goods.In addition, our team gained certain monthly commission from the merchants.My interest and abilities indicates that a lifelong career in finance will be very appropriate for me because that is where my potential lies.In order to seek new heights academically, I would like to apply for admission into your prestigious program.I participated in the “Entrepreneurship and Leadership Seminar” held by School of Business, University of Cambridge, and four-week economics courses in Oxford University during 2012 summer vacation.I really enjoyed the open communication with

academic atmosphere, attracts me as an ideal place to pursue my master degree.The financial program has a tradition of excellence in research, education and service to the profession, which will help

to have the chance to study in your University.

Dear _,

I have always had a fascination with the archaeological world. Archaeology provides me with the opportunity to question how my ancestors lived, worked, survived and created what is now the world today. My interest in learning about humanity’s past arose from when I was a child, where I was captivated with artifacts in museums. It provided a forum which was to my imagination and introduced me to experimental archaeology.

As I have matured, my enthusiasm and excitement for archaeology has grown after visits to Chester and York, where I was able to appreciate not only the archaeological artifacts found in these places, but also the magnificence of the standing buildings that remain today. This lead to a particular interest and eagerness to learn more about the ways of everyday life for the people living in the ancient world, in particular the Roman Empire.

My A-level study of archaeology has demonstrated my commitment to learning techniques, methods and theories needed to engage in effective research, excavations, delicacy and preservation of artifacts. Reading books such as ‘Archaeology is Rubbish’ by Tony Robinson and ‘Excavation’ by Steve Roskams has continued my studies. These books have provided me with extra knowledge of how to deal with specialist sites, such as waterlogged and underwater excavations. Additionally, they have developed my understanding of techniques used by archaeologists to gain the most accurate results when reconstructing the past.

A-Level Religion and Philosophy has extended my knowledge of archaeological aspects such as Roman religion and ritual. Moreover, geology has developed my understanding of how geological features can impact the landscape, which is essential for desktop archaeology and investigating settlement. Geology has also increased my ability to date and provide a location as to where certain artifacts may have come from. I have experienced hands on archaeology at the ‘Dig’ centre in York. This developed my practical methods of excavation and interpretation of artifacts. The ‘Dig’ centre gave me the opportunity to familiarise myself with animal bones and how they can be used to help archaeologists in recreating the past.

I have a particular interest for many sports including, karate, rugby and athletics. My commitment to Karate has earned me the rank of 1st Dan black belt, which has qualified me for the teaching of the subject, and given me effective leadership qualities. Similarly in rugby, I am in the process of becoming a qualified referee. This has been a valuable experience as it has developed my team leading, and team work skills.

My extensive work within the college has gained me a position on the college council as enrichment representative; where I have brought the students and staff closer together. Subsequently, the responsibility and trust placed in me to do this job has provided me with excellent communication and organization skills. Furthermore, as illustrated above, I am a conscientious, hardworking student and I’m more than willing to accept and overcome new challenges that I may face during a place at higher education.

Yours sincerely,

怎样快速适应加拿大留学新生活

一、管理时间

在加拿大的学习，是一个人的旅途，没有家长和老师对你进行管教，除了上课之外，所有的时间都是自由的，这时候如果没有很好的支配自己的时间，将会带来很不利的影响。

对自己的时间要有短期和长期的规划，虽然不需要严格到每个小时，但是大家需要为自己确定目标，并且制定实行的大致时间，让自己有一点压力，完成应该要完成的任务，才可以利用好时间。

二、进行理财

大家在加拿大生活，会有国内父母给的生活费，也许还能拿到不同的奖学金，如果兼职的话，还会有一笔相对稳定的收入，这些钱，大家需要进行有序的管理，才能够为自己盈利。

存在银行是一个相对稳定的选择，毕竟没有那么多风险可以承担，大家能够做的，是做好自己的支出规划，尤其是大额支出，一定要谨慎选择，从而减少留学的成本。

三、参加活动

学校除了是大家学习的地方，还是大家社交的主要场所，会有社团活动和学校比赛等的开展，这些都是大家应该要积极参加的，能够为你的履历增加内容，而且还能提高技能。

毕竟大家的正常课程安排，一般在三点左右就会结束，空闲的时间还是比较多的，除了必要的作业、论文等之外，还有大量的时间可以利用起来，应该做更有意义的事情。

四、积极社交

要和同学以及老师保持比较积极的联系，这样能够获取更多的人脉资源，在老师面前多刷脸，能够帮助大家拿到更高的平时分，而且可以更好地相处，对自己专业的学习也有帮助。

如果有机会的话，可以将自己的社交圈打开，多去接触一下其他领域的学生，这样可以认识不同的人，如果可以搞好关系对留学是有帮助的。

每一篇成功的essay，都是一种比较有针对性的自我介绍，聚焦于申请表格提出的两个问题回答”我是谁”，”我能提供些什么”，成功的陈述从未偏离过这两个主题介绍自身，描述你作为有竞争力候选者的潜能。这是一篇成功申请到美国哈佛大学的Essay论文，作者为Jason Y.Shah。Essay话题类型为leadership领导能力，下面一起来欣赏范文。

At my age, few people can genuinely claim that they have had a life-changing experience.After attending Leadership in the Business World(LBW)at the Wharton School last summer, I became one of those fortunate people to have experienced a life-changing academic program.Four weeks of meeting business executives, working with teammates through the night perfecting our professional business plan, experiencing the independence and responsibility that will come with college...none of this was advertised in the brochure for LBW, but all of this is what made it uniquely meaningful to me.The business leadership program centered on one culminating activity: the prestigious LBW Business Plan Competition.As we prepared for this, we heard from Wharton faculty members and many corporate heavyweights including Brian roberts, CEO of Comcast Corporation.Meeting educators, executives and entrepreneurs broadened my knowledge of business, created a strategic network of connections and proved profoundly inspiring;nothing motivates me more than seeing hard work and sharp thinking reach fruition.I vividly remember when a managing director of a venture capital frm singled me out for a networking demonstration.Expecting me merely to pretend to hand him a fake business card, he was dumbfounded by impressed when he glanced back as he accepted an actual business card from my tutoring business.As my business card now rested in Mr.Kimmel’s rolodex next to elegant cards from established businesspeople, a lesson was ingrained in my mind about acting uniquely in order to distinguish myself in a feld of equally qualifed and eager peers.Despite the inherently competitive nature of LBW, I established enduring friendships with students from far-reaching places, such as Shanghai and Accra.We shared stories over meals in Houston Hall about life at home and engaged in heated discussions about business ethics.regardless of the origin of our passports, we became a family while learning about each other’s cultures and future business aspirations.The lessons of compassion and hard work from the business plan competition also heightened my experience.Once when a fellow marketing offcer was struggling with determining channels of distribution for our product, I disregarded trying to seem individually superior, and we cooperatively tackled the problem.Putting the team before the individual was a concept that materialized itself during my experience.The bonds between all of the students and advisors spurred my entrepreneurial spirit as I experienced how friendship supports business.I knew this experience had changed me forever when I triumphantly concluded our team’s business presentation, confdently promoting our product and connecting with a crowd of peers and venture capitalists.During the evening following the presentations, my fellow teammates and I beamed with boundless relief and pride when the vcs announced our team, EnTECH LLC, as the frst place winners of the competition.Exploring and honing my business and entrepreneurial skills was intimidating initially, yet with creativity, hard work and an unparalleled group dynamic of cooperation, this experience cemented my passion for business and opened grand doors of opportunity.文书点评： This essay of Jason’s helps us appreciate the “entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavors” that Jason refers to at the end of his Common Application personal essay “Hurricane Transformations,”(Chapter 15).This type of cross-referencing or linking can be an excellent strategy for presenting yourself as well rounded without trying to cram too much information into a single essay.After reading “Hurricane Transformations,” college admissions offcers are likely to be curious about what Jason’s projects as a community leader are;and this essay is the perfect answer to that question.While the first sentence of this essay, “At my age, few people can genuinely claim that they have had a life-changing experience” may sound slightly patronizing and condescending, it does succeed in piquing our curiosity as readers and hints at Jason’s maturity and confdence.It is important to think about the tone that the overall essay communicates.Jason conveys a confdent tone in his writing by telling us about the “uniquely meaningful” experience he had through the LBW program, one he clearly fashioned for himself.This contrasts to the more contemplative tone in “Hurricane Transformations.” Varying the tone between essays is a method to show different sides of your personality.Jason gave a brief description of the highlights of LBW’s eventpacked four weeks(“meeting business executives, working with teammates through the night perfecting our professional business plan, experiencing the independence and responsibility that will come with college”)without reading like a brochure.Then he wisely chose to focus on the culminating activity.Indeed, Jason shares how he learned the lesson to act “uniquely in order to distinguish [him]self in a feld of equally qualifed and eager peers.” This sentence shows us that Jason is willing to go above and beyond what is expected and to leave his comfort zone in the process, yet also demonstrates consideration and respect for his peers.The anecdote about meeting Mr.Kimmel is also an artful way to let us know that Jason has started a tutoring business for which

申请文书是院校了解学生的主要手段之一，因此非常重要。其中个人陈述（PERSONAL STATEMENT）就是所谓的PS。下面为大家带来PS的写作技巧。

1.抓住亮点，避免公式化

个人陈述（PERSONAL STATEMENT）是在申请过程中按照学校的要求来写的一篇有关申请者背景、学术研究能力以及职业目标的文章。一篇成功的个人陈述一定要有重点，有内容，根据学校和专业的要求来写，要充分地展示出申请者的优势，以便能够抓住录取委员会的注意力。

2.常见的公式化写作的错误：

首先，就是在开头引用名言，这也是大多数申请者最容易采用的一种形式。其实，引用名言本身无可非议，如果申请者引用的名言能够恰当地反映自己的人生态度，并且能够让对方感觉眼前一亮，那么这个名言一定会为个人陈述增色不少。但是，绝大多数申请者经常就只会引用常见的几个名言，比如“God helps those who help themselves”等等。当这句话已经在对方眼前出现无数遍，他看到你再这样写时一定非常反感。

第二，就是在个人陈述里介绍自己的基本情况。

这些信息已经在简历中出现过，没有必要重复，更没有必要把有限的篇幅浪费在这个上面。

第三，强调自己专业的重要性。

那些教授对这些专业的重要性当然比你还要了熟于心，这样做甚至会让人感觉是在班门弄斧。

第四，解释自己TOEFL或者GRE成绩低的原因。

我们不必对自己的成绩做任何解释，对方更不希望看到申请者只会为自己的过错寻找借口。

3.个人陈述十大要点

1.一定要追求深度，把主要精力投入在一两个主题或经历上。

2.一定要写别人不可能写的东西，即你自己所有，而别人没有的。

3.一定要让评委看到你与别人的不同之处，尤其是你的特长、特殊的经历、经验等。

4.一定要实事求是，不要以为“理想的你”就是现在的你，不能让人有虚假之感。

5.一定要不落俗套，特别是开头几句。

6.一定要就各校的引人之处做个别评论。

7.一定要描写性格中的积极面儿；过失和错误在附录中解释。

8.一定要评价个人经历而非简单地讲故事，还要讲清楚自己在全班、全系，排第几位。

9.一定要请别人为你修改语法、标点、用词和风格。

10.一定要选择容易辨认的字体，采用通用的行距和白边。

4.提交了简历还需要提供个人陈述吗？

6.芝加哥大学申请文书题目 篇六

1.给了乔姆斯基（2001）的一段话，大意是语言虽然会受到环境的影响，但是却是由基因决定的一种认知能力，是大脑认知体系的一个子系统（subsystem）。然后是O’Grady(2010)的一段话，关于浮现主义（emergenism），大意是语言的习得由“非语言因素”决定，如认知，记忆，输入，交际等等、要求：概况上述两种语言观，说明你的理解，然后对其进行评价（critically）

2.语音题：sectionA---对“juncture”下了个定义，指的是语音的分界点（？），如great eyes，听起来也可以理解为grey ties。有人做了一个研究，研究的是英式英语（BE）、新加坡英语（SE）和港式英语（HKE）中的语音分界点，被试分别是上述三种英语的speaker，让他们听辨BE、SE和HKE，记录了正确率和反应时，有三个图表。要求：观察总结“patterns”，并分析原因。----这个没看明白，语音学学得不好

还有一个sectionB，忘记了，也是跟语音有关的 3.Section A--四组句子，一正一误（1）He asked Mary to leave on her own.*He asked Mary to leave on his own.（2）Peter ordered Mary to leave on her own.*Peter ordered Mary to leave on one’s own.（3）Peter cancelled the trip to save money for himself.*Peter cancelled the trip to save money for oneself.(4)

To behave oneself is very important.*To behave himself is very important.要求：

1）为每组的正确句子画出树形图

2）运用Case theory 和Binding Theory 解释错句

3）上述理论多大程度上是Universal的？用你自己的语言的例子进行说明。

Section B---（1）上来就是一个什么“deictic theory”（indexism），让给几个代表的表达，这个根本没听说过

（2）有人认为tense时态属于deictic，是否属实？

4． SectionA---选3个进行注解 1）UG 2)Motherese 3)boottrapping in language acquisition 4)overgeneralliztion 5)Complementary Exclusivity Theory ?第六个忘了 Section B---关于双语者的。有人提出了一个“Complementary Principle”，大意是双语者获得并运用两种语言，根据不同的目的，不同的语境（domain），不同的人调整运用。接着是两个描述：

a． 父母双方语言不同，或者在移民家庭，双语者有两种语言，家庭语言和社区语言

b． 双语者的能力competence比较特殊

要求：讨论上述的“互补原则”，分析相关因素，并结合a或者b分析二语习得中双语者表现出的多样性和异质性。

最好的莫过于第一种结果，终于完成文书篇，接下来可以踏踏实实的申请了。

最坏的是第二种反应吗？如果这么糟糕的文书是自己写的，那么别无选择，反复修改或者找别人帮忙重新写过便是；糟糕的是如果你认为糟糕透顶的文书是他人代写的，并且你坚定不移地认为这个文书实在惨不忍睹，让你不堪忍受，这就头疼了……

事实上，多数的申请者没有那么自信，拿到手的文书读来读去读了不下10遍了，依然无法判断好还是不好还是不够好，也就是第三种情形，于是决定多找几个人看看，于是更多的问题来了，公说公有理婆说婆有理，本来已经够乱了，随着越来越多的人的阅读，也越来越扑朔迷离……

所有这些问题的根源只有一个：因为没有一个定理。没有一个定理摆在那里说用but是对的，用yet就一定是错的；没有一个定理摆在那里说A结构一定比B结构优秀；也没有一个定理摆在那里说用银行的素材会比证券公司的素材更精确击中对方心理……

也因为没有一个定理，谁都可以就你的文书发表所谓的看法和意见，而在文书的成稿上烦恼越多的人基本在生活上也是越前怕狼后怕虎、犹豫不决的人，如果非常不幸地，你也在为这件事情烦恼着，我想我能做的不是让你找某个所谓的专家再去看你的文书，而是可以考虑从下面几个方面自我做出一定的判断，我们在判断申请者的文书是否足够用来申请的标准通常有这么几个（事实上，所有的文章也都要从这几个方面考量）：

语言方面：

对自己语言功底持怀疑态度者和对自己语言功底持否定态度者（事实上，这些人多是生活中的智者与谦虚者），你需要的是一气呵成的感觉，也就是说你在读你的文书时很顺畅，即使有一些不认识的单词，也不会妨碍你读完一篇之后长舒一口气，能做到这一点的文章已经属于上乘之作了。

语言这个东西是最没有定理的，就好像有人喜欢杜甫的诗，而有人喜欢李白的诗一样，在英语的写作中，你不能说你喜欢用yet，而别人用but就错了；你喜欢用so，而别人用therefore就错了。语言经常不是对与错的问题，更多的是“好”与“更好”的问题，可是我并不觉得有多少人可以有资格去讨论“好”与“更好”，关于为什么我这样认为，只需将心比心地来思考一下你是否觉得自己有能力来跟别人讨论汉语文章哪样用词更好呢？如果在母语上都做不到，怎么能有勇气在“外”语上去计较呢？

而如果文章当中有语法错误则不在此讨论范围之内，有少数几个语法错误还是可以谅解的，如果多了，就要去质疑语言功底了。

内容方面：

在内容方面最有权利对自己的文书做出判断的只有一个人，那就是你自己，因为你自己的素材你自己最清楚。所以别人最没有资格对你的文书说三道四的就是你的内容方面。在这个方面，你需要考虑的是：是不是你所有的比较有价值的素材都已经得到了良好的体现？如果回答是肯定的，那么你已经有效利用了你的文书空间；如果回答是否定的，那么只能依赖你自己重新进行素材的整合与分配。

很多申请者把自己已经写好的文书拿给他人去看，对方看过后说感觉写得不好呢，可是也说不出来是哪里写得不好（事实上，很多人都是这样不负责任地评价别人的文书），于是申请者找到我的时候就很苦恼，在这种时候我一般会问的问题就是：“你认为你的这篇个人陈述是不是已经把你最有价值的素材都写出来了？你还有其它的可以值得一说的素材吗？”我觉得我说到这里，大家也该懂了。既然能写出来的素材都已经写出来了，还有什么好挑剔的呢？

再挑剔就不是去挑剔内容方面了。

结构方面：

在明确了自己的文书在语言和内容方面是否合格之后，接下来要看的是结构方面，在读完自己的文书之后，结构是不是清晰且有条理？所谓清晰，指的是主题是否明确，所谓有条理指的是逻辑是否鲜明，就算你没有能力判断语言好坏和内容丰满与否，你至少是有能力来判断结构是否符合我们在前面所列出来的所有的要求的，只要符合了那些标准，那么结构方面即可通关。

在从这三个方面分别把关之后，每个人心里都基本会有一个概念——判断文书好坏的概念，有了这个概念之后，你便可大致自行做出判断了。而对于最开始列出来的三种类型的反应也可以大致做出回应了：

第一种：依然是圆满的结局。

第二种：如果文书是他人代写，建议你不要武断地自己做出决定，不妨回头听一下写作者的说法，如果写作者的说法不能令你满意，不妨再找另外的人帮忙看一下，因为我很担心，有时候因为武断而坏了事儿。多一个人把关总是好的吧。

第三种：进入扑朔迷离阶段：这个阶段是很多申请者都会经过的，最开始可能觉得文书还不错，于是拿给别人去看一下吧，可是因为没有定理这一特点，于是有人发出了质疑声，于是你开始动摇了，再去看的时候好像确实是有那么点问题……如此一来反反复复，最终进入了自己也搞不清楚状况的死胡同。

无论是对于哪一种情形，我能说的就是最终的最终，选择相信自己！

你自己有能力、有义务对自己的文书做出判断，通常来说，一篇文书，用流畅的语言，顺畅的结构，表达出来了你最有价值的素材，它就完成了它的使命。虽然它承载的作用很大，任务很重，但是你不能指望几篇文书为你订终身，它做不到，你也不能要求它做到。
