一、排比句――简洁却不失强烈的震撼

例一：

When I was 6 years old, I sang children’s songs to alleviate the pain of my sick mother and sobrought laughter to the whole family.

When I was 20 years old, I tried to relieve the pain of villagers who fell ill in bed with the knowledge I have learned in the medical school, and so brought laughter to the whole village.

When I was 22 years old, I was shocked at the incapability of doctors in the face of infectious viral diseases when they could adopt adjuvant therapies to prolong the life of patients. Having been aware of the weakness of doctors, I decided on my future career in fundamental medical research: that is, to ease the pain of patients from all over the world rather than a family or a village by making a breakthrough in fundamental medical research.

（6岁，母亲病了，我学会了用我的歌声缓解她的病痛，将欢笑带给我的家

20岁，村民病了，我学会了使用简易的医疗设备，缓解他们的病痛，将欢笑带给全村

22岁，当我在传染科实习时，我目睹了医生们对很多病毒性的传染病根本束手无策，只能采取一些对症的辅助治疗措施。我看到了作为一名医生的局限性！而医学基础研究的一个突破，一个发现却能给整个人类带来福音，而我也将不再仅仅是带给一个家，一个村欢笑，而是世界每一个被疾病夺取欢笑的角落！）

点评：

   在这个开头中，申请者用了一组排比将自己为什么选择这个专业简单却强有力的表达出来。

例二：

One of my most distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences I possess. I am a science student with a flair for the arts. I am a woman with technical aptitude and an interest in literature. I also have a passion for traveling and understanding different cultures of the world. I strongly believe that although some are not related directly, all these qualities will influence my graduate work.

（我最为显著的特点之一就是我拥有丰富的经历。我是一个具备艺术本领的理科学生；我是一个具有技术能力而又对文学有着浓厚兴趣的女性；我同时也有着去世界各地旅游领略不同文化的热情。我坚信，一些事物不具备直接的关联，但是这些东西都会深深地影响到我日后的工作。）

点评：

   这个开头在一组简洁有力排比中，一个上进的，个性鲜明的优秀的年轻人的形象跃然纸上。

二、陈述句――平实中突出实在严谨的治学态度

例如：

The aim of economics is to solve practical problems. If it were simply theoretical, it would make no impact on the real world. According to Coase and Arguin, a practical survey will inform people of what the world looks like even though it fails to propose significant arguments. And It is my thoughts and my experience in my college life.It is my college life that has helped me draw such a conclusion. In the near future, I will still persist in an effort to fulfill my dream and put forward more practically valuable advice and theories for China’s reform.

（经济学是用来解决实际的应用问题的，如果仅仅是是纯理论的研究，很难说解释到什么真实世界，对解决真实世界的问题也没有什么作用。但是如果通过实际的调查，即使不能提出什么观点，最起码可以告诉世人真实的世界是什么样子，这是最核心的，这是科斯的观点，也是阿尔金的立场。这是我经过大学四年经济学的学习和实践获得的。在将来，我也将继续实现我的梦想，提出对中国改革更多有针对性和实际价值的理论和建议！）

点评：

   申请者通过客观的平实的成熟，来阐述她对经济学的认识，她的职业目标，突现出严谨实在的治学态度，但平时中却饱含了激情和追求！

三、感叹句――惊叹中抓住读者的视线

例如：

How wonderful! When I was seventeen years old as soon as I printed my first program:” Hello World!”, I realizedthat computer can make the world much more colorful！

多么精彩呀! 17岁当我用C语言编译器在电脑里面编写出我的第一个程序“Hello World !”的时候我知道计算机肯定可以让这个枯燥的世界变得多彩！

点评：

   在惊叹中一下抓住教授的实现，引起教授继续往下阅读的兴趣。

四、反问或者设问句

例如：

Is possible that a woman can gain academic leadership in economics, a field of male-dominance? What can women do differently? How can we be accepted as full partners rather than added assetsonly for diversity? Girls in the department of economics who are aspired for an academic career are often haunted by such questions, including me.

（女性会成为杰出的经济学家吗？在一个男性占有主导地位的学术领域中，女性的优势和劣势是什么？这是每一个有学术理想的经济学专业女学生在大学的四年学习中会反复面对的问题?包括我自己。我的答案是肯定的。尽管会面临种种的困难，我有自信，也有信念用一生去坚持我所热爱的经济学研究，在中国的经济学发展中留下自己的足迹。）

五、强转折句式

例如：

The Central Bank is an ideal place for women.It is unequivocal "true" that the bank offers job security, good payment, overseas training, humanistic vocation, and social respects.But being a woman inspired for academic influence and prodigy instead of an ideal career only, after I have worked here for three years with hands-on experience accumulated in abundance, now I am thinking of a Ph.D in business administration at a first-tier University worldwide.

（中央银行对于女性来说是一个理想的地方。银行提供稳定的工作、优厚的薪金、海外培训、固定的假期和社会的尊重。但是作为一个对学术和奇迹而非理想工作充满激情的女性，在经历三年的大量传达工作后，我开始考虑在一所世界顶尖的大学攻读工商管理的博士学位。）

点评：

   申请者通过BUT这个强转折句式，以最快的速度抓住教授的视线，通过前后强烈的对比在阐明自己申请的专业，职业目标的同时完整展现出一个有抱负，有思想的女性形象。给人留下深刻的印象。

六、对话式――以对话为开头，再引出事件的重点

例如：

“You are very lucky,” my father said to me. “Why?” I questioned inpuzzlement. He drew a circle on a piece of paper, then made a dot in its circumference and asked me, “Which way is the shortest to reach the symmetrical dot in the circumference from this point?” “Diameter,” I responded, and with this answer I suddenly realized that I was lucky enough to live a diametrical life, namely, a very smooth life. Since I exposed myself to the research in materials, I have been aspiring to become a scientist, and God has blessed me with a diametrical life without any waste of time or life.

（“你是非常幸运的”我的父亲对我说，“为什么呢？”我问父亲。父亲微笑着拿起手中的圆规在白纸上画了一个圆，在圆周上点下一点，问我道：“在同一个圆上的一点到达与之相对称的另一点，什么样的方式是最快的呢？”“直径”。当答案从我的嘴中脱口而出之时，我猛然间也明白了我的幸运就在于我的直径人生。从我进入材料的领域到今日树立起做一名数学家的理想，上帝让我幸运的获得了走这条直径的机会，没有浪费时间和生命。）

点评：

   申请者通过和父亲的对话不仅仅阐明了自己申请的专业，职业目标，同时还通过形象的比喻表明了自己的对生活，对人生的态度。此外也显示出父亲对孩子的教育模式和教育思想，而对于家庭的教育和成长环境国外教授也是非常看重的。

   写作的形式，写作风格和句式这三者并不是分割开来的，需要相互支撑，融合在开头的写作之中。

例如：

“Life is just like the ocean----whatever choice you make as a steersman, you must be well aware of your favorite,namely, which is worthy of pursuing in your whole lifetime.!”

Since I was admitted into Harbin Institute of Technology three years ago,these words, just like a bright lamp, have been lightening my future and leading the way to my favorite career--- the studies of educational technology.

（“人生就如同大海，不管你选择的是什么，作为舵手你必须清楚的知道什么是你的至爱，是值得你一生都去追求的！”

   三年前当我进入哈工大时，母亲对我讲了上面的话语，这些话语就像是我人生中的一盏灯塔，引领着我一步步的寻找到了我事业的至爱——教育技术和追求它的航线。）

   在这个开头中申请者运用了写作形式中的以对话为开头，引用，精辟设喻，同时运用了写作风格中的哲理型，写作句式中的对话式。所以要想让自己PS的开头吸引人，不妨结合自己的特点，对以上开头进行综合运用。
