你为什么想学习这个课程或学科?

“像奴隶制和种族隔离一样,贫困并非自然现象。它是人为造成的,可以通过人类的行动来克服和根除。“——纳尔逊·曼德拉

我永远不会忘记老师给班级看1993年普利策奖得主照片的那一天,照片中一只秃鹫在贫困的苏丹等待一个孩子饿死。这是我12岁这个被保护的童年中,第一次真正开始关心并意识到贫困对世界造成的悲惨影响。

那张强烈的画面激发了我对经济学的兴趣,促使我思考世界上的社会经济不平等和财富分配的分层。通过在A-level课程中学习经济学,我开始理解宏观经济政策变化在个人和社会层面的影响。

在阅读了约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯的《一般理论》后,我惊讶地发现他关于投机力量的许多论点其实与当前全球经济衰退有关。进一步阅读保罗·克鲁格曼的《大萧条:经济学与2008年危机》让我觉得当前的经济形势使凯恩斯主义政策建议比以往任何时候都更具现实意义。

我出生在马来西亚,那里仍有基于种族的法律,我自己也曾是宏观经济监管不力的受害者,某些行业中新种族隔离法律和政府的极端保护主义政策,削弱了该国在国际舞台上塑造自己为投资者友好目标的努力。

这些经济挑战,加上言论限制以及政府缺乏透明度和问责制,使我更好地理解治理、理念和经济的重要性。因此,我也培养了对公共政策的极大热情。通过阅读哲学和经济文献,我坚信深入研究经济学哲学方面会非常有趣。

你的资质和学习如何帮助你准备这门课程或科目?

我对经济学的热情只有数学的热情能与之匹敌。当我接触并随后理解抽象数学理论时,我感到非常有成就感。高中最后一年,我参加了全国数学比赛,并获得了高荣誉奖。

理解培养批判性思维和培养创业精神的重要性后,我在高中时共同创立了青年创业俱乐部。在担任Young Enterprise助理董事总经理期间,我学到了时间管理、承诺和领导力的宝贵经验。

在为期一年的YE挑战赛结束时,我们的企业成为州冠军,股东们享受到了创纪录的400%投资回报。我很自豪地宣布,现今俱乐部在我离开两年后依然积极培养未来的商业领袖。

你在教育之外还做了哪些准备工作?这些经历为什么有用?

从小我就积极参与体育运动,担任本州奥运手球队队长,同时拥有空手道黑带,并进入学校橄榄球队。我真心相信个人的整体发展很重要。

在担任区狮子座俱乐部主席期间,我经常组织前往养老院和孤儿院的旅行,作为我们社会责任倡议的一部分。我清晰地记得圣约瑟夫家园的孩子们在蝴蝶农场旅行后送别我们时,那忧郁的微笑。

他们没有家人可回去,这让我深感不安。这进一步坚定了我提升社会责任意识、帮助弱势群体的决心。由于我尚未实现经济独立,我相信这是我回馈社会的最佳方式。

作为享有盛誉的西美达比公司奖学金的获得者,我设法为我的高等教育争取到了经济资助。这让我离成为经济学家的梦想又近了一步,我满怀热情和激动,期待未来几年都投入到大学社区。

个人陈述评审员的专家反馈

“书本的运用非常出色,展现了申请者在校外对学科的兴趣。在本节回答“为什么你对此感兴趣”的问题会很有帮助。“,”哲学部分很好,但最好参考一些书名。目前该部分列出了一些主题并进行探讨,但与课外阅读或具体学习几乎没有关联。“”课外活动部分需要削减,目标是20%。“”以引用开头加入或开头是非常陈词滥调的。利用这个空间扩展到其他领域。']

这些反馈由人工智能生成,基于这份个人陈述的文本:

这份个人陈述展现了他对经济学的强烈热情,并结合了对全球社会经济问题和治理的深思熟虑。申请人有效地将个人经历与学术兴趣相结合,尤其是在经济学和数学领域。包含具体的书名能通过展示课堂之外的参与来增强应用。

推荐

为了进一步完善新的UCAS个人陈述格式,开头的引言可以被更原创的个人介绍取代,以立即吸引注意力。哲学部分可以通过引用具体的哲学著作或思想家来丰富,以深化学术参与。课外活动很有意义,但如果能把这部分压缩起来,会提升专注力和平衡性。

总体而言,这份声明对于新的UCAS格式来说是真实且结构合理的。专注于与课程兴趣直接相关的清晰且相关的例子,会让它更有说服力。

Why do you want to study this course or subject?

‘Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.’ – Nelson Mandela

I will never forget the day my teacher showed my class the 1993 Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of a vulture waiting for a child in poverty-stricken Sudan to die of starvation. It was the first time in my sheltered 12 year old life that I genuinely started to care and become aware about the tragic effects of poverty in the world.

That powerful image piqued my interest in economics and prompted me to think about socioeconomic inequalities and stratifications of wealth distribution in this world. By taking Economics in my A-levels, I began to appreciate the implications of macroeconomic policy changes on an individual and societal level.

After reading ‘The General Theory’ by John Maynard Keynes, I was surprised to see that many of his arguments on the power of speculation could be related to the current global economic downturn. Further reading in ‘The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008’ by Paul Krugman made me feel that the current economic conditions made Keynesian policy prescriptions more relevant than ever.

Born in Malaysia where race-based laws still exist, I myself have been the victim of poor macroeconomic regulation, where the presence of neo-apartheid laws and ultra-protectionist policies by the government in certain industries have crippled the country’s efforts to present itself as an investor-friendly target on the international stage.

Such economic challenges coupled with the limitations of speech and a lack of transparency and accountability by the government allowed me to better appreciate the significance of governance, philosophy, and economics. Consequently, I nurtured a great passion in public policy as well. Through the reading of philosophy and economic literature, I am convinced that the in-depth study of the philosophical side of economics would be fascinating.

How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?

My passion for economics can only be matched by that of mathematics. I find it extremely rewarding when I encounter and subsequently understand abstract mathematical theories. In my last year of high school, I competed in the national maths competition where I was rewarded with a high distinction award.

Understanding the importance of developing critical thinking and instilling entrepreneurism, I co-founded the Young Entrepreneur Club in high school. During my involvement with Young Enterprise as the Assistant Managing Director, I learnt valuable lessons of time-management, commitment and leadership.

At the end of the year long YE challenge, our enterprise emerged as state champion with shareholders enjoying a record breaking 400% return on their investments. I am proud to announce that the current club is still actively nurturing business leaders of tomorrow two years after I left it.

What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?

Since young I have always been active in sports, captaining my state’s olympic handball team besides holding a black belt in Karate-do and earning a spot in the school football team. I truly believe in a holistic development of an individual is important.

During my tenure as president of the district Leo club, I frequently organised trips to old folk’s homes and orphanages as part of our social responsibility initiative. I vividly remember the melancholic smiles of the children of St Joseph home when they bade us farewell after a trip to the Butterfly Farm.

The knowledge that unlike us, they had no family to go back to profoundly unsettled me. This further strengthened my resolve to create an awareness of social responsibility amongst members of society to reach out to the less fortunate. As I have not gained financial independence, I believe this is the best way for me to give back to the society.

As a recipient of the prestigious Sime Darby corporation scholarship, I managed to secure financial sponsorship for my tertiary education. This brings me one step closer to my dream of becoming an economist one day, and with great enthusiasm and excitement I look forward to committing the next few years of my life to the university community.
