我差弊穗有份以前写的PS，也是申请数学系的，可以让你参考一下。但我的虚卜建议是，只有自己写出来的，才是PS。他人的最多只能看一下拿点灵感。Personal Statement I am an overseas student from China. I am applying for a Mathematics course at University.Mathematics is my favourite subject and it's the most wonderful thing: For any person in the world, even if he/she doesn't learn about Literature, Physics, Biology, Art, Law, (perhaps he/she doesn't even know who is the President of his/her country.) There is one thing he/she must know: Mathematics. Everything relates to Mathematics; nothing can work without it.Although, to me, Mathematics is a wonderful thing, lots of people have suggested that I choose another subject to study at University. Because in their mind there is no job that needs Mathematics as advanced as University Mathematics except researching or teaching. But for me, Mathematics is part of my way of life. It's a key that could open the door into my dream!I want to have my own enterprise. I need to have good logical judgment to discern what is an opportunity or a crisis. I need to have different ideas to find a new way; I need to calculate what will happen in the future Lots of things I need and all of those I can find in Mathematics. Why not choose it? There is no reason for me to change my decision.I will describe my study as an exploration for knowledge. As an explorer I have good endurance but it doesn't mean I like to waste time. I like to ask if I don'卜敏t know: I think of teachers as having the map that could show me which is the right way. It will not let me get lost in exploration.As an explorer I have adventurous but this doesn't mean I am rash. I like to find out different ways. There is not only one way you can go to a destination. I could discover lots of things during my exploration. It will help me to break new ground.As an explorer I have my own special skill. I like to know why something works. It's not just to help me to solve the same style problem more quickly and easily. I could infer further development when I know the basic theory. It gives me the ability to face the future by myself.I left my parents to study from the age of 11 and I have now lived alone in England for about 2 years. I feel so lucky that I can study in the UK. In China we have no chance to choose what we do or do not want to learn. Study in China is very boring for me. But now I can study the things I am interested in, so I am enjoying my study very much.Every week I drive to a school and teach the children Chinese. It's quite hard for me because this is my first time as a teacher. Sometimes I like to read fiction about magic and myth. I enjoy escaping to a different world.At the moment I am a Dreamer. I imagine all sorts of things: What is the past? What is the future? What is the truth? Perhaps Mathematics will give me the answer. Then I shall become a Thinker. I hope.
