1、讀書計劃/個人陳述 (PERSONAL STATEMENT或STATEMENT OF PURPOSE)讀書計劃是在申請過程中按照學校的要求來寫一篇有關申請人過去背景，目前成就和未來目標的文章，一篇成功的讀書計劃不但應語言流暢，且文章邏輯嚴謹，層次分明，能充分顯示申請人的才華并抓住審閱人的注意力。要寫出這樣的文章，既使對于母語為英語的澳大利亞人來說都是十分不易的，更不要說對于母語為非英語的中國學生。但是澳大利亞的學校在讀書計劃這項材料上并不對中國學生降低要求，他們認為既然申請人被錄取后會與澳大利亞學生一起學習，那么就應用同樣的標準衡量國際學生，一篇成功優秀的讀書計劃不僅僅要求文法上沒有錯誤，還要

2、求語言流暢并具有感染力與吸引力，同時要說明自己的整體素質與學術成就，這的確不是一件容易的事。許多學生為了寫一篇優秀的讀書計劃要花上一個月的時間，這并不奇怪。 然而，寫好一篇讀書計劃并非很難，首先我們要明白審閱這篇讀書計劃的人想要知道什么，審閱人最看重什么，什么樣的讀書計劃才算是出色的。然后我們才可以根據自己的情況寫出這篇文章。讀書計劃可以分為兩種不同的類型:一種是總括型讀書計劃，這種類型的讀書計劃實質上是一種個人散文（Essay），即用最大的廣度、最可能的深度來介紹申請人的情況，無論是背景、現狀、還是未來。這種類型的讀書計劃被廣泛應用于醫學院、法學院等研究生院中。另一種是專業型讀書計劃，這類讀

3、書計劃往往著重介紹申請人在某學業或事業領域上的成就與見解，在一種小范圍內盡可能詳盡他說明自己的情況，這種類型的讀書計劃常在商學院的申請人中見到。 無論是采取哪種類型的讀書計劃，申請者都一定要了解清楚學校需要申請人回答什么樣的問題，是單一的對未來學習生活的展望與計劃，還是全面的介紹自己各方面情況。 許多學校不要求提供讀書計劃，或是不規定讀書計劃的內容與形式，這樣的學校也應備一份連同申請材料寄去。如果不規定具體形式，就把文章重點放在有利字自己申請的一個或幾個方面上。一所澳大利亞名牌大學的招生辦主任對讀書計劃的看法是：我們僅僅是想讓申請人回答一個問題，就是“你認為我們應了解你哪些方面是最重要的”。假

4、如你需要5分鐘去面對一位審核官員說明這些，那么你在這5分鐘內所說的內容就是讀書計劃。 從澳大利亞大學對讀書計劃的看法中我們可以對它有一個概括的認識，知道了讀書計劃應該寫哪些內容，針對具體情況，我們建議在寫讀書計劃之前首先考慮以下幾個問題： 在你的經歷中，有哪些獨特與吸引人的地方，哪些你生活中的細節（家庭、歷史、影響你人生的事件）能夠使審閱人較好地了解你，并認為你與眾不同。 你何時開始對你所學的專業產生興趣，為什么感興趣，當時你對它的認識是什么。 如今你對你申請的專業了解有多深，你的奮斗目標是什么。 如果你的成績（大學成績、標準考試成績）不很理想，你是否需要為此解釋一下。 你曾經克服過什么困難，

5、有什么樣的經歷、技能或優點。 你為什么會選擇這所大學。 回答以上所有的問題并不容易，但至少有一半的問題對申請是很重要的。許多人并沒有經過仔細的回顧，往往一些很相關的方面都被忽略了。審核人閱讀一篇讀書計劃的目的，是為了能夠全面地了解申請人，最糟糕的事情是你的讀書計劃令審閱人感到厭煩，而這卻是大多數申請人正在做的事。 考慮完這幾個問題之后，就需要真正著手去寫了，這時我們應注意的是： 這篇讀書計劃在為哪所學校而寫，這所學校有沒有內容上的規定，如果有，規定是哪些你正在準備的是一篇個人讀書計劃，無論從哪個角度來寫都要突出文章的獨特性，而不能模棱兩可。有選擇性地選擇材料，詳細說明有利于獎學金申請的材料，去

6、掉與主題無關的材料，也不要加入太多的細節，否則會導致評審意見被引入一個誤區。 無論在談及成功還是失敗，都需要保持一種樂觀的態度與口吻。盡管一些過去的失敗與挫折會在一定程度和方面上被認為是不利，但是如果能仍然樹立起一種自信和認真，那是很令人欣賞的。 如果你的生活沒有太多的與眾不同，那么選擇一個新穎的角度來寫。 第一段就抓住審閱人的注意，適當以與眾不同的形式表現，但不要過分。如果你申請了幾所不同學校，你是否寫了不同的讀書計劃。審閱人如果感到你的讀書計劃是完全的空談，那么會把整個材料否定的。如墨爾本大學（University of Melbourne）招生辦主任在談到讀書計劃時說：“最令我們失望的是

7、，當我們在閱讀一篇讀書計劃時，我們十分清楚這名申請人對我們學校一無所知，而可以把這篇文章寄到全澳大利亞的各個大學。”以上幾點是在寫讀書計劃是應當注意的，如果注意到這些，寫一篇優秀的讀書計劃就并不是那么難了。已經成功的讀書計劃范例(信息科技) To Whom It May Concern: Re: Application of Student Visa to study in RMIT UniversityIn additional to all my documents provided, I would like to take this opportunity to write a per
