加拿大大学申请材料之PS写作指导
加拿大留学
加拿大大学申请材料包括PS(个人陈述)、个人简介、推荐信等。据悉，加拿大各类学校(包括大学、学院、中学)对新生的录取采用的是申请制，主要通过学生所递交的各类申请材料来判断和确定是否录取。所以，申请材料在整个留学申请中所起的作用是非常关键的。本文百利天下留学主要为大家提供加拿大大学申请材料之PS(个人陈述)写作指导。
总的来说，PS个人陈述(PersonalStatement)应包括申请者的个人完整信息、简历、求学经历、专业特长、兴趣爱好、社会实践、获奖情况等，也有的人将个人陈述称作留学自荐信，目的是向录取委员会推销自己，表达留学的意愿。
据360教育集团介绍，加拿大大学申请材料之PS写作指导——问自己9个问题
在写作出国留学个人陈述范文的时候，认真而全面地审视自己的方法就是默默地自问如下问题：
1.对所要申请的学校和专业是否有了深入细致的了解，能做到在写自述时紧扣学校和专业的要求及特点，突出自己申请的优势？
2.我的人生经历中有什么独特的、非同寻常的地方？在我的家庭生活和社会生活中有哪些人或事件影响了我的人生观和事业追求？这些影响有什么与众不同的地方？
3.我最初是如何对目前所选专业感兴趣的？我在其后的岁月中又是如何加深了对这一学科领域的认识？我在这一领域已经取得了什么样的成绩？是什么因素使我自信，能够在这一领域有所建树？
4.在上学期间我从事了那些助教、助研、社会实践、暑期工作？通过这些活动在什么方面得到了提高(比如科研能力、组织能力和领导能力等)？在步入社会后的工作中完成过什么项目，取得了哪些成就，表现出何等才干？
5.我的最终的事业目标是什么？
6.在我多年来的考试成绩上有没有需要解释的地方？比方说我大学成绩一直很优异，但GRE成绩却不怎么理想；我高年级的成绩是否比低年级的成绩有显著的提高？
7.在自我奋斗的过程中是否需要克服超常的困难，如家庭生活贫困、身体残疾等等？
8.我是否具备杰出的品格，比如诚实，可靠、善良、刻苦等等，而我能否提供真凭实据来加以证明？我是否具备值得一提的很好的特别的工作习惯和态度，以及禀性上的优势。
9.我具备什么样的特殊才能，如分析能力、领导才能和交流才能？我为什么比别的申请者更具有在事业上成功的把握？

第二篇：申请材料包括PS
1. 申请材料包括PS、推荐信、成绩单、托福成绩、GRE成绩、部分学校的新闻学还需要写Writing Sample
（十几页的论文）。
2. 大四毕业后去美国读研，一般大四上学期开学后就开始准备申请学校了。在此之前，要做好申请前的准备工作。准备工作就是努力考好学校所有课程的期末考试尤其是专业课；好好学英语考托福和GRE；找些相关单位多实习。
4. 新闻类申请奖学金是比较难的，只有努力提高自己的综合背景才行。
5. 美国大学看重的是你的综合素质，你在该领域的潜力 包括但不限于GPA（大学成绩）、研究背景或实习经历、GRE/TOEFL
6. 托福必须考的很高 新闻类对托福成绩要求很高的 至少也得100分；GRE里的阅读部分也是非常重要的，有些学校会要求你此部分最低考到550。还有就是要注意实习，找些好的新闻媒体单位多多实习，实习期间有些亮点。
Questions 12-20
The elements other than hydrogen and helium exist In such small quantities that it is accurate to say that the universe somewhat more than 25 percent helium by weight and somewhat less than 25 percent hydrogen.
Astronomers have measured the abundance of helium throughout our galaxy and in other galaxies as well. Helium has been found In old stars, in relatively young ones, in interstellar gas, and in the distant objects known as quasars. Helium nuclei have also been found to be constituents of cosmic rays that fall on the earth (cosmic "rays" are not really a form of radiation; they consist of rapidly moving particles of numerous different kinds). It doesn't seem to make very much difference where the helium is found. Its relative abundance never seems to vary much. In some places, there may be slightly more of it; In others, slightly less, but the ratio of helium to hydrogen nuclei always remains about the same.
Helium is created in stars. In fact, nuclear reactions that convert hydrogen to helium are responsible for most of the energy that stars produce. However, the amount of helium that could have been produced in this manner can be calculated, and it turns out to be no more than a few percent. The universe has not existed long enough for this figure to he significantly greater. Consequently, if the universe is somewhat more than 25 percent helium now, then it must have been about 25 percent helium at a time near the beginning..
However, when the universe was less than one minute old, no helium could have existed. Calculations indicate that before this time temperatures were too high and particles of matter were moving around much too rapidly. It was only after the one-minute point that helium could exist. By this time, the univ
erse had cooled sufficiently that neutrons and protons could stick together. But the nuclear reactions that led to the formation of helium went on for only a relatively short time. By the time the universe was a few minutes old, helium production had effectively ceased.
