范文一
Personal Statement
Programmme : Creative and Media Enterprises
There are two divergent views concerning the prospect of Chinese media development— whether an exciting future or a downturn as a result of unregulated disorder. To what extent is each of those contentions justified? My 2-month summer internship from July to August in 2004 at Beijing Television Station has allowed me to gain insight into the complex reality of the country’s media community. Although in appearance China’s media market is booming and making big money, there are inherent crises. Apart from the political control imposed on the media, Chinese media workers suffer from a conservative ideology, backward technology and shortsightedness resulting from the false boom. This is largely related to their lack of international experiences and perspectives. My present application for a Master’s programme in Creative and Media Enterprises at your esteemed university stems precisely from the motivation to develop the kind of international experiences and perspectives that most Chinese media professionals lack.
My internship at Beijing Television has been significant. Apart from gaining a realistic picture of China’s media world, I did experience tremendous improvement in my practical media skills. The channel is primarily targeted at the audience in the national capital, but it has important ramifications over the entire country. The show “Legal System Now” where I worked has created a standard in the field. During my internship, I performed such duties as interviewing and editing of programmes under the guidance of the programme director, from whom I learned important experiences of collecting materials and producing programmes. It constituted my very first experience of standard media work, although I used to work at our university’s broadcasting station. Both of those experiences have helped to motivate me toward a possible career in media.
As a student of English, I have developed a strong interest in media. This development seems inevitable on two accounts. There is first the longtime influence of my mother who used to be a journalist and is now a senior editor. Another factor is my character. I have known to other as lively, energetic, sociable, and communicative. As a child, I practiced playing piano and also practiced dancing of China’s minorities for more than five years. Those artistic talents made me a leader in extracurricular activities. By actively participating in those activities, I learned how to plan, manage and launch major events. Since September 2002, one year after I began my undergraduate programme at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), I have been acting as art and entertainment representative of the class, the director of Art and Entertainment Department of the School’s Students Union, and vice chair of the University Students Union. In my various positions, I masterminded and launched a series of important events and served as anchorwoman. Those events include the university’s annual large-scale performance in commemoration of the December 19 Incident from 2001 to 2003, freshmen receptions and summer evenings in 2002 and 2003.
In executing my extracurricular duties, I have seen how I can use my talents to fulfill public responsibilities and how to interact with different sorts of people. But my sense of achievement also comes from many other aspects, more or less related to media. In May 2002, I acted as planner and English hostess of the English Talents Contest of BIT, which was part of the 3rd Nationwide English Talents Show sponsored and televised by CCTV (China Central Television). Both my English proficiency and oral eloquence were highly recognized by my teachers and fellow students. In Nov. 2003, I was responsible for directing a short English play “Lucky 250” which won first prize at the university’s first Short Play Competition. Our play later entered the Intercollegiate Short English Play Competition and claimed a third prize. Around the summer vacation in June and July this year, I interned at Beijing Wuzhoutian Art and Culture Development Co. Ltd and my duties included translating documents, business proposals, correspondences, and manuals and participating in corporate planning. As the company’s line of business is brokering art performances between China and other countries, I learned important knowledge about creative and media enterprises.
Learning English as my major has allowed me to have important experiences of the cultures of the English-speaking countries. I used to be a volunteer who showed a group of British and American teachers working in China around the city of Beijing. While familiarizing them with the Chinese culture, I learned about their own cultures. As sophomore and junior, I took part in many exchange programmme s with international students studying in Beijing, among whom were students from the UK, Canada and America. I believe that this cultural knowledge will be useful to my prospective studies in Creative and Media Enterprises because your programmme is best understood in a cultural context.
In carrying out the studies in my own specialty, I have been most interested in the courses related to English and American literature. In addition to providing a historical framework of English and American literature, our teachers have offered in-depth analyses of major literary movements and their representative authors, and I have developed a relatively comprehensive knowledge of the novelists, playwrights and poets and their individual works in the great literary traditions of those two English-speaking countries. The study of English and American literature has produced a two-fold significance for me. Achieving over 80 points (as in a 100-point grading system) in the last two examinations, I have remarkably enhanced my aesthetic sensitivity and knowledge of the creative process of literature. On the other hand, my study of English and American literature has presented me the best channel for improving my English proficiency, especially in reading and writing. As a student of English, I have also make conscious efforts to improve my proficiency in listening and speaking by practicing with teachers and students from the English-speaking countries on our campus. Compared with other Chinese students who apply for a programmme in Creative and Media Enterprises, I have a much stronger background in English language, which constitutes my unique strength. Moreover, I submitted an article to a writing competition under the name of Journey of Civilization on Campus and claimed an Excellence Award.
I am especially proud of the fact that my active involvements in extracurricular events, while promoting my personal development in an all-round manner, have not in the least hampered me from attaining my academic excellence. I have developed useful knowledge and skills in areas other than our own specialty, which many of my fellow students do not possess. On the other hand, although our teachers have been invariably strict in their grading, I have maintained a top 10 academic ranking in my class consecutively, winning third-class scholarship in the 2002-2003 academic year.
When I first chose to major in English, the choice was made out of my admiration of English and western culture. Now, as my interest shifts to media, I am equally excited over my new choice. Warwick University has achieved rapid ascendancy in academic ranking among all the UK universities over the past decade and its programmme in Creative and Media Enterprises is listed as top 3 in the UK’s media programmes. I chose this programme because I am eager to learn advanced knowledge of this discipline which is offered nowhere in Chinese universities. My study plan is that, on the basis of the many books on media I have self-studied, I will choose a comprehensive spectrum of core courses as well as many optional courses. Having mastered the basic theories and methodologies, I would concentrate on media management, with emphasis on the composition of media enterprise, the distribution and circulation of media products, and the operation of the media market. My dissertation will focus on one of those aspects, which will bear importantly on China’s existing media practice.
The media industry is essentially about interaction and communication. As China gradually opens its media market to foreign enterprises, radical changes are bound to take place. My prospective programme will be part of that Sino-UK interaction and communication. I envision myself in the near future as working either in a leading Chinese media enterprise which operates jointly with a western partner or in a western media organization operating in China. Therefore, my present application for your programme will play a vital role in my future career development.

Before my fascination for the media world developed I like everyone else was subconsciously a part of it. The news that was on TV, the magazines that I read and the commercials that urged me to buy the products I bought. The media and the world it creates around us are always there whether we are aware of it or not. Then becoming a media student was like learning the tricks of the trade, being let in on all these secrets and I loved knowing why the media did things and how they accomplished them. By studying media at a degree level I feel I will be able to enhance my interest for the subject as well as expand my current knowledge and be able to gain new skills that will enable me to both advance and flourish within this area as well as taking great pleasure in doing so.
I have been involved in different aspects of media (especially advertising) for a few years. I have studied Media at both GCSE and A Level. When on these courses I worked on producing a variety of media projects including creating and airing a community radio station, producing and starring in an episode of a soap opera and comic book production. Whilst at 6th form I have worked on publicity shots for a variety of projects such as prospectuses and open evenings. I am also the design editor of the school paper a feat of which I am very proud. As well as participating in media related tasks on an educational level, I have taken my interest out side of just academic projects. For the government run scheme Connexions I worked on a PR campaign which involved me participating in many media based tasks such as designing a print based advert which was distributed throughout all the senior schools and colleges in the Birmingham and Solihull areas. I also created a website for a local youth club called the Den a council run scheme.
I'd like to think I have a positive impact on my school and 6th form where I am head girl. I was previously a prefect and ran a friendship group for new year sevens and eights. I try my hardest to change things for the better and enjoy working with pupils of all ages in the school in activities such as the school council and mentoring. In the summer of 2005 I undertook work experience with a drama group which taught young children morals through plays and I greatly gained from the experience. Along with media I am undertaking English and Photography A levels as I feel that both of them can greatly aid me in a media orientated direction.
My outside interests span a wide variety. I love to read some of my favourite authors being ''Dan Brown'' and ''JKRowling''. I also like to write and have recently had one of my poems published in a young author's collection. Photography and graphic designs are huge personal passions of mine; they give me the ability to express my self in a creative and positive way. Since July 2005 I have been part of the Birmingham and Solihull Youth Board and worked up to being a senior member. I enjoy spending time with my friends participating in social activities such as paintballing, laser quest, the cinema and bowling. On Saturdays I also have a part time Job at a library where I have to be organised as well as computer literate and complete tasks independently or part of a team. Last summer I spent 3 weeks travelling Europe and went to places such as 'Auschwitchz in Krakow and the 'Reichstag' in Berlin. The experience was amazing and allowed me insight to other countries cultures and lifestyles.
Media is a huge part of both my academic and personal life and I truly feel that placement on this course would help me in my future career ambitions in the media world. Living so far away from home whilst on the course would also help me gain independence and life skills.

“If a nation can be compared to a large vessel at sea, then the journalists are its watch-keepers who timely report the treacherous shoals and hidden dangers to ensure the safe journey of the vessel.” This celebrated and thought-provocative motto by Joseph Pulitzer gives a most vivid and profound elucidation of the crucial role that journalists can play in contemporary social life. Regarding the role of the watch-keeper, I have my own understanding. The career of being a journalist entails “thinking allowed and thinking aloud.” He or she should, first of all, be an active, sensitive participant of social life and demonstrate independent and critical insights. Apart from such qualities as courage, social conscience, objectivity, enthusiasm and discretion, a journalist must have deep concerns for the destiny of his/her nation and the welfare of its people.
I never cherish any blind faith in the accepted theories and teachings but instead have endeavored to cultivate a skeptical attitude toward what I am exposed to. In my notebooks are recorded not only what my teachers have taught me but also my personal contemplations and critical views. On many important issues I have the habit of discussing with the most learned and inspiring teachers from whom to seek enlightenment and to probe into the essence of the matter through “collisions of ideas”. I have also devoted most of my spare time to studying technical literature in the libraries, to keep myself informed of the latest academic developments and to develop my own academic perspectives from a wealth of information. In taking examinations, I seldom confine myself to what is laid down in the textbooks but instead try to present my own understandings, observations and reflections. It is indeed not easy to be one’s true self but the joy of exercising my own academic initiative and exploring my academic possibilities has given me immense satisfaction.
In studying the courses in myself specialty, I have paid close attention to laying a solid academic foundation. I have been particularly fascinated by such courses as Mass Communication, Theories of Journalism, Theories of Broadcasting and Television Journalism, and History of Western Journalism, which have allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the principles of journalism and to examine journalism in a historical context. The world of journalism represents an exciting world of ideas and ideals, a world of variegated phenomena that make up the reality of our social life. Apart from compulsory courses, I took a number of optional courses like The History of Ancient China. This course has been very important to me because, in order to understand how China ’s mass communication evolved in the contemporary period, it is necessary to gain insights into China ’s traditional cultural and historical legacy and how those cultural and historical traditions shape the present and even the future of the country.
“A true scholar must be well-read and well-traveled.” This well-known Chinese saying points to two essential qualities that a successful student and scholar must possess—ample book knowledge and practical experience (the latter resulting from field trips far and wide). I believe this principle holds especially true for practitioners of mass communication because it is more of an applied academic discipline. For half a year just as a freshman, I did internship at XX Television Station—one of China ’s major TV producer—where I performed two types of responsibilities: translating English materials into Chinese and editing news. The first responsibility exposed me to the standard practices of western mass media while the second allowed me to obtain practical work experience.
Later, working as an interning reporter at XX Daily, the largest newspaper in the city, I concentrated on the issue of possible water pollution in the Three-Gorge Region where the world’s largest hydrological project is under way. For a whole month, I traveled to 10 counties and investigated the operation of the 19 water treatment factories in this region. In addition, I interviewed 12 environmentalists and based on detailed facts and statistics I gave an objective and detailed analysis of the possible negative impacts of the project on the local water environment and urged the local authorities to take concrete measures to guard against possible consequences. My serial articles produced widespread sensation and made the protection of water environment the hot subject of the time in the local media. For me, this was a most important experience as a feature story writer because for the first time in my life I made extensive field trips and reported on the issues most closely related to the welfare of the general public. This experience significantly heightened my awareness of the social responsibility of the journalist and of the role that a journalist can play in promoting the social welfare of the people.
My independent thinking, sound academic performance and practical media experience distinguished me from most of my fellow students and came to the attention of Prof. XXX, a leading scholar on “cultural communication” in my university. At his invitation, I became a key member of his research team and served as his research assistant. I read a number of leading academic journals including XX and analyzed all the available American news programs recorded on videotapes. Based on my research findings, I wrote a research paper entitled Cross-Cultural Communication Significance of English News for Developing Countries. The paper explores how developing countries (whose native language is not English) can best employ English news programs as an effective tool of communication with the English-speaking audience in the world, with English language as the dominant language of communication in the ongoing globalization context. I also proposed specific steps how those developing countries can promote the communication and the influence of their national cultures in the international community and facilitate their social and economic development. My paper was published in the national-level journal TV STUDY, which indicates the rare achievement of an undergraduate.
The publication of my research paper also testifies to my research potential. The vice chairman of my department offered to be my advisor of my graduation thesis. Under his guidance, I am researching on media culture and constructing analytical models. So far, I have completed the research on American mainstream media culture and its pluralistic value system. My advisor has expressed considerable appreciation of my research work so far.
XX University where I am studying is a key national university that attracts best students from every part of the country. In fierce academic competitions, I have managed to remain top-third in academic performance and win scholarships throughout the years. I received the honor of Outstanding Student of XX University and on account of my distinguished English proficiency I won the third prize for my university in the nationwide English Contest of University Students in 2002. In my extracurricular activities, I organized and participated in several major events for such student organizations as “Galaxy” Literary Society, “What’s New” Student Newspaper, and “Be Creative” Association. As a result, my writing skills and journalistic competence have been markedly improved.
Building on my educational background, my research experience and my research interest, I would like to pursue a Master’s program in Mass Communication. The courses that I plan to study include international mass communication, mass media and culture, theories of mass communication, methods of mass communication research, history of mass communication, economic and political aspects of mass media. I wish to obtain comprehensive and advanced education in mass communication and seek opportunities to participate in workshops, seminars and projects. If possible, I will continue my study toward a Ph.D. degree. I believe that academically and experientially I am qualified for your well-respected program. Therefore I wish that you would seriously and favorably consider my application.

It’s all about the headline. It’s about getting your point across in the most direct way you can. These personal statements are very good example of this, in just a few lines I have to get my message of why I want do a degree in Journalism across to my prospective universities. That is one of the reasons why I love to write, the challenge of putting over a complex thought or concept to a large audience of people and convey it in such a way everybody will understand it. As the great writer Hemingway once said, “My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.”
My own personal experience of journalism started young, my dad used to write for a magazine and take me with him when he went to interview people, since then I have been fascinated with the industry. When I was 14 I was lucky enough to get a work experience placement at “News International” in Wapping. I got to work on the websites of “FiredUp.com”, “Revolver.com” and “Page3.com” as well as have a tour of the offices of “The Sun”, “News Of The World” and “The Times”, I have also recently been offered a day’s work experience at my local paper and I am currently waiting for news of work experience at the BBC.
I pride myself on being well organised and thorough in my research. I have also developed many skills such as interview techniques and being able to see things from another perspective, a skill I have acquired through Sociology and Communication Studies, analytical skills through Film Studies and Media Studies and I have learnt about analysing and collating numerical data and factual evidence in Psychology. Although I have already completed three A-Levels and two AS Levels, I have taken a year out to study AS French, Sociology and Spanish. I did this in order to improve my grades and to give me a wider choice of qualifications as my previous subjects are all very similar with their syllabus as well the fact multiple languages would be an invaluable advantage to have when working in the area of communication.
Some of my outside interests are music, politics, the Internet and reading. Music in particular is a great love of mine, I regularly attend “gigs” and concerts and have been an active member of the “Sum 41 Street Team” for over a year, this involves spreading publicity through flyers and posters to promote the band, I find it very fulfilling and enjoyable. Another one of my interests is the Internet, I contribute articles to a site dealing with issues such as “top-up fees” and other important student matters, which I enjoy greatly and is helping to improve my knowledge of university for the future. I have a part time job waitressing at a local hotel which I do a few nights a week. It gives me a sense of my own independence and responsibility, I also help my mother at the local Red Cross during half terms and holidays cooking for the elderly and have also recently volunteered to sell Poppies for Remembrance Sunday throughout my town. Another activity of mine is being my tutor group representative for our college’s student council and regularly attend meetings to deal with concerns of the student body.
I am thoughtful, organised and handle pressure well, I love to write and it is my ambition to do so, I believe I can bring many things to the courses I have selected and in turn can get a lot out of them as well.
